Gem in the setting of serenity

This house and location was incredibly awesome for our group. Plenty of space inside and outside. The house was in perfect shape and we had zero issues with anything. Have stayed at many rentals and never had the type of over the top service from our host, Becki. She was super helpful and made our trip that much more enjoyable
