My daughter and two grandkids came from Minnesota for my twin great-granddaughters' first birthday. We loved the lake behind the house and watching the different birds that sat by the dam. The kids enjoyed the pool. The neighborhood is pretty and felt safe to walk around.The beds are comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. It was nice being able to park in the garage and unload groceries right into the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay.

Unexpected Medical Trip
Andrea was fabulous. We had an unexpected medical trip and she was extremely thoughtful in helping get the house set up in a way to accommodate our needs. There was alot happening and she was very supportive the entire process. The house location was ideal for our needs, easy access to major highways, a relaxing backyard to watch the birds and see the water. Easy home to get around in, all one level, comfortable for our needs.
