This place was epic. The house was immaculate with that perfect cabin feel. Hot tub was clean and exactly what we needed for the evenings. The pool table was great. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed and then some. We came to get married and this place was the perfect place to start our new life together. We did our first look in the forest behind the house under a perfectly arched tree. Our pups loved it too!

The place could use a little bit of renovating but it was clean and worked for our family of seven (5 adults, 2 kids, and a dog). The location was perfect being inside the park. I would warn that the driveway is steep. Both of our cars would scraped at the end of the driveway. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again.
