If you’re coming for a few nights, this is the place to stay because it’s like home away from home with all the extras that are included in the townhome. It was excellent for our three kids us and another couple to stay in a two bedroom. Everything is well kept and up-to-date. All you have to bring is your personal items and any food you want for the week. Perfect family getaway! Highly recommended and well worth the cost!
