Had a mini vacation with our Son’s family. Oldest grandson lived on the basketball court, grand daughter lived at the fire pit. Youngest grandson was in the hot tub as long as we would let him. Recreation room was awesome, saw two football games on 2 TVs. Played pool and hand shuffleboard. Many arcade games! Bedrooms were awesome! Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the screened in porch. House was secluded, loved the privacy! Hope to return.
