Family Thanksgiving

We needed a place near Roanoke to stay where we could cook and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner for 10 of us (including kids). The house was perfect! We loved how child friendly it is, with plastic dishes, toys, and other kid items. The big bath tub was a hit. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The furnishings are comfortable and well appointed. The outdoor space: back porch, deck, and yard are excellent for outside play and entertainment.
