This home was the perfect after Christmas getaway for our family of 7! The house layout was ideal for privacy, fun and family. The creek next to the house was so relaxing and the view from the hot tub was perfect! We would definitely stay again!

This house was everything you need and more. The hosts have thought of everything - comfortable bedding, kitchen utensils/cookware, plenty of room for our family of 8. Highly recommend this property for couples or families. The entire property / inside and out - was exceptionally done and well maintained. Would love to return sometime soon.
