Wedding weekend

Our son was getting married at Dodson Farms. We looked for a VRBO near the venue. This location was less than 2 miles from the venue. The home was exactly as described. Everything was immaculate. We could not have selected a better location. We were there with family and friends. What a wonderful location to relax and visit!!!
