Beautiful home for up to 8 adults

House is much bigger than it looks in photos or from the outside. Great placed and very responsive host. Still shows a hot tub on the listing that isn't there anymore. We confirmed this with the host before booking.

Cozy and comfortable

The 3 ensuite bedrooms were perfect for our group of 3 couples. The screened porch was surrounded by color-changing landscaping and provided a comfy place to relax. The house is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. We enjoyed walking the on-site trails. This was our second time staying at this property and have plans to return.
