Family of nine, Vacation
The owner met us at the property and helped us carry our bags in. He was very nice and checked in with us throughout our week stay. Our kids in their 20s and our 9 yr old granddaughter loved the skate park, the hot tub and the video games. The house held us all comfortably. He has black raspberries growing along the building and said we were welcome to pick them, which we loved doing each morning of our stay. Everyone said they’d love to come back again. Thank you George for everything.

Great for Kids
This property had plenty of things to keep a group of high school students entertained. They loved the pool table, record player, arcade games, and more. They were engaged with each other. The TV and phones were forgotten!

Perfect
I picked this place because of the skate park and it was everything my boys and I needed it to be. George is a great host and made feel at home and addressed any issues or questions we had. George shared the history of his place and the surround town with us which made us live it even more. Hot tub is well maintained and was very comfortable to sit in. The air conditioning was perfect for the 100 degree weather we encountered. My boys and I will definitely be returning.
