We had such an amazing time. Our kids had a blast. They explored the woods, played hide and seek in the big rooms and played in the huge yard out back. Our 4 year old especially likes the little doll room. It was a fun time!
What a fantastic space! Very close to a great spot for lunch as well. Joe was a great communicator as well. The house had a wonderful smooth concrete basement with a garage/play space that is very large with a bathroom. The main floor is an entire open concept with a kitchen and pantry space along with stone counter tops and a huge dining room table. Connected to that space is a master bedroom w/onsuite bathroom as well as a walk out patio. There is plenty of sleep space on the second floor. This house was extremely comfortable and had the perfect vibe for us friends that came together from other parts of the US. We would certainly consider revisiting!
