Stayed for Christmas with my family. Love that the property had a Christmas tree for us to enjoy during our stay. Perfect accommodations for my 23 month old, and a space for mom and dad to go after he went down for bedtime to hangout awhile before bed. Very pet friendly. Fully equipped kitchen and we always love Reel Java being nearby. Perfect holiday vacation home
