Our family gathered here for a short reunion over Thanksgiving and to celebrate our granddaughter’s first birthday. The house was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable for all of us. The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do and convenient to the airport. Being right on the river made our stay even more special; we loved watching the boats and birds drift by. The pool was an added bonus. We would happily return.
