Graduation trip

We drove from Georgia to see our son graduate from SELU. It was in a great location in proximity to the school. We were able to relax and enjoy each other while sitting out on the deck. The beds were comfortable and I loved the massage chair!

Fantastic house!

The house has everything you'll need. And then some. My kids absolutely loved learning to kayak and fish and use a record player. We hung out and played card games and yard games. We rocked out to The Beach Boys and AC/DC. Toiletries were provided (even makeup remover!). My kids cried when we left and said they wanted to move there. Thanks for the lovely stay, Katie!
