Snowbirds heading south
This is an older home that had some remodeling done. It worked out very well for the 4 of us. Especially having 2 bathrooms. With the fenced in back yard it made it easy to relax. 20 minutes from just about any direction’s you’ll find something to do, eat, or drink. If you’re a sports fan I recommend a must see Double Day Bar My thoughts are that this place gets 4.5 outa of 5. And would come back if in the area. A special thanks too Hillary. KnSnCnD

Nice little house with big backyard
House was perfect for our trip. Was close to all the amenities and easy to get to. The driveway was only able to fit 2 pickup trucks and the other vehicles had to park on the street. Overall was a great house and would stay there again. Hillary was a great host and very responsive to any questions!
