Peaceful

Nice large kitchen, great back yard and outdoor spaces. The front porch has a great swing and chairs. Good place for morning coffee. Beds are comfortable and living room sectional provided lots of seating. We loved the pool table, and card table. Highly recommend to anyone. It's a great place
