Wonderful, cozy home. With both upstairs and downstairs bedrooms, this house meets variable needs. Kitchen is very well stocked. Water pressure is fabulous as is the heat. The game room down in the basement is fun. All in all, a great place to stay!

We loved staying at the Gem house for our little mini vacation! The location was absolutely perfect and was so centralized and close to all the activities we wanted to do. We loved having a beautiful back yard for the kids to run around and loved being able to have a bonfire! House was completely stocked with everything we needed, extremely clean, and Glee was amazing to communicate with!
