This house was absolutely perfect for our family. The spacious backyard and the well-furnished patio was a wonderful place to hang out and enjoy the weather, and we loved the grill. The large game room in the walk-out basement was the highlight for us. Stocked with games, a kitchen, two TV's, large sectional sofa, lots of seating, allowed for the perfect way to enjoy family and friends. We could not have been more pleased!

Nicely Renovated House
We enjoyed our stay here. Pics were very accurate. We were worried when other review mentioned bugs in the house. We saw NO BUGS in the house. House was very clean. The beds were very comfortable and there were lots of pillows. They wisely have separate AC units in the upstairs BED ROOMS. The basement is great! We spent all afternoon and evening with football games on the two each of which had its own cable box. Would not hesitate to stay there again,

Review
The living spaces were exceptional, clean and spacious.
Huge problem with outdoor bugs inside the house. Space does not feel safe due to large uncovered glass doors on the ground level. In spite of those issues, we enjoyed the stay bit would not revisit this particular unit.
