Beautiful home
Beautiful big home but it needs work as it is dated. Perfect for a big group. Nice quiet location not far from everything. Needs instruction on how to use the smart thermostat. There was a beautiful big jacuzzi tub but no instructions on how to turn it on, there was no switch so that was disappointing.
