Great house and park near by
The property was great, house was clean and inviting. Probably a little big for my hubby and I but great eating area outside , the back yard and pool area was like a mini resort. Lots of fun and had great walks at the park just down the street and even seen a coyote in the drainage area by the park. Would definitely stay again if we are ever in that area. Thanks Taylor for all your help. Host was on top of things and responded right away if we had a question.
