Fantastic family getaway!
The property and house were beautiful! It was such a fun and relaxing family getaway spot! The host was super nice and very accommodating. There aren’t any rooms on the main floor so it’s not very handicap accessible but we made it work.

Beautiful property. Plenty of outdoor space for activities and littles. Home was very clean and provided many games for family fun, and very well stocked. Owners live across the street and was promptly available for all questions and concerns. We'll definitely stay here again in the future! Thank you so much for accomodating us!
