Great property

Dawn was very helpful and had great communication. She even had a toddler bed and crib for us so we didn’t have to bring our pack and play. We would stay here again. It was very spacious and we never felt on top of each other.

Wedding stay

The property accommodated 9 adults of various ages for a 3 night stay. We came for our grandsons wedding. It is a newer home and it worked for our extended family nicely. The property was accommodating for some last minute requests due to time schedules for the wedding. We were pleased.
