The house was exactly as pictured! We loved the location—within two blocks of a grocery store, gas station and good restaurant. The serene backyard was a delight with an occasional visit from a group of turkeys.

Overall a great experience and just as advertised. The property is in a great area and is very well updated and was very clean. Every little accommodation was thought of for our stay, from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Communication with the property manager was great. All of these things made for a very pleasant stay for our family and we would stay again!
