Absolutely amazing experience! The house is beautiful and has everything you will need- fully stocked kitchen for cooking and grilling, comfortable seating areas for movie nights, fun games including arcade and foosball. The gardens are spectacular with a perfect fire pit area- our family loved watching and feeding the fish in the koi pond. Tyler was a fabulous host who made check in and check out a breeze, stocked the house with everything you could possibly need, answered questions fast, gave great recommendations for things to do in the area and even left a welcome gift. Hope to stay again in the future.
