Birthday Weekend

The property was secluded enough for some privacy. The kitchen was well stocked, and there was numerous inside and outside activities.

The property is clean and the living room is spacious for playing games together. The bedrooms are in the basement and were really cold because of the draft. The bathrooms are a little outdated. The house has plenty of games and activities for a family gathering. The outdoor space would be nice in warm weather.

family trip

We only had two things that were an issue. One was the towels. 7 adults for 3 days and only 6 towels. There should have been a better option here. Had to do laundry on my trip. Not the best. Also, the garbage restrictions were inconvenient. 8 people, cooked 6 meals there and only two bags of garbage. That was weird. The house was great, the back porch was the best. We loved staying there.
