Our stay was a relaxing and a cozy stay. We loved the house and the property. Very clean and lots of open space. The house was fully stocked with everything that would be needed. The house has a wheelchair ramp and the lower was fully accessible, with a walk in shower which was a big plus for our daughter with Cerebral Palsy. We will definitely be returning for visits.
