Family weekend
We have family from multiple states meet at least yearly for a long weekend (ages 9-75). This is one of the most beautiful and well-stocked homes we have chosen. We love to cook most meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of games and things to do (playground, air hockey, cards/games, quiet space for reading, etc.). Of note, we have a special needs child who had a (not unexpected) emergency while there - the EMS response was phenomenal. Highly recommend this property. Quiet residential neighborhood and the leaves this time of year were amazing. Outstanding communication with property management company as well!
