Beautiful home and property! Our family of 10 came for a wine tasting trip and we had a blast. The home was very clean and very spacious for a group this size! The upstairs common area being so convenient for card/board games and the darts was a nice touch. Probably the best rental we have ever stayed in and we loved how close to TC it really was!

Had some initial hiccups with pricing when adding a night, but this was a glitch that wasn’t the owner’s fault. Place was clean and spacious. It lacked some extras that other places have had (extra toilet paper, enough pots and pans, dish gloves, nothing major), but was overall really great and comfortable.
