Beautiful, roomy house
The house was new, clean, spacious and well-stocked. Manager met us and made us comfortable. Pool was warm and kept up nicely. We had a really wonderful stay with extended family. The only thing (which could be either great or a problem depending on your plans) is that it really is out in the boonies. We enjoyed the woods and listening to the birds, but getting anywhere took a while. We would definitely recommend this place!
