Host left welcoming note at the kitchen bar. House was very clean and had a nice layout. Lovely screened areas at front and back doors for fresh air. Lanai overlooks a lake for relaxing at sunset and listening to birdsong. Perfect place for 4 - 6 people I would say.

Perfect home for our tournament stay

We enjoyed our stay!! The house was perfect for our 2 families. We had plenty of space and felt comfortable our whole stay. Would definitely recommend this house to others. The only thing I would change is that the listing says the Master has a King size bed, but the bed was a Queen and the same as the second bedroom. Overall wonderful stay and easy to check in and check out! Thank you for having us.
