Family Vacation

This was the perfect house for our family vacation. There is plenty of room to accommodate everyone. We will be choosing this house again. The upper driveway is steep but there is plenty of parking on the lower driveway.

Everything was good except the oven did not work on Bake, but did work on broil and so made it a little difficult to cook anything in the oven
