9 Pinehurst was an exceptional home, so well thought out. Three levels so each couple had their own private space were perfect with the kitchen, dining and family area where everyone could gather. The home was very clean, tastefully decorated and so well furnished with home away from home supplies and necessities. The setting is peaceful and serene. We would definitely stay there again.
