Perfect place for a two family gathering
We stayed here with four adults, four kids, and a baby. It was the perfect size for us to all have our own space, but also provided space for family time. The games in the basement were a hit. We were also pleasantly surprised to find an actual crib in one of the bedrooms. The owners were responsive to questions and concerns, and we had a lovely experience all around!

Family getaway
The house had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to make 12 people comfortable. The kitchen needs some updates as well as mattresses and pillows. The basement had a fun game room with several different things to do. Overall we were very happy with our stay.
