Fantastic home

We did another ladies weekend here, and we plan to go back again next year! House is spacious, clean, has everything we need other than the food, and the hot tub was icing on the cake! It is very echoing in the upstairs, if people are downstairs, so just bring a noise machine if that bothers you. We loved our stay here, and plan to make this a yearly trip!

Extended Family Meet-up

We had a total group of 16 (4 separate families) stay and the dining, bedroom, and bathroom spaces were great! Good balance of adequate shared space and separate areas when we needed a little quieter time (or for the teenagers). Only had to reach the house once and Karen responded quickly. Would definitely recommend and are considering a return in the future.

wonderful house!

This house was wonderful for our family group of 12. The 7 bedrooms meant that everyone could spread out. The table in the dining area is beautiful and can easily accommodate a large group. The neighborhood is quiet and people (like the postal carrier) are very friendly. The house was very clean! We would definitely stay here again.
