Perfect space for our family reunion, rooms were spacious and first floor bedrooms were ideal for our family members that don’t do stairs well. Great communication with the owner, too. House was clean and amenities were generous. Loved the eclectic decor!

Nice

Property is huge and well decorated. Everything is fine, except we wish they had coffee available. We were in cheaper properties with at least coffee available. Microwave was very difficult to open. Everything else was great.
