Beautiful location and rental
Our group of 11 had a wonderful time. We wished we could stay longer and enjoy the sun porch, campfire, and deck areas more, but we had plans to visit nearby attractions. The rental was well furnished and provided many comforts of home. I appreciated the hosts attention to detail and communication and accommodations were above and beyond what was expected. We would love to visit again.

Stayed over Labor Day weekend for a golf trip. House has plenty of room for 12 adults, with a couple beds to spare. Very conscientious location next to several golf courses. Host responded quickly to any issue we had, and even let non golfers on our trip check in early.
