My husband and I brought 9 of our kids with us and we all had a great time. The place was clean, and very nice. The host was great and even let us check in a little early. The WiFi cut off the first night but our host was able to take care of it the very next day. Rooms were nice and beds were super comfy! You literally just have to bring your self and some clothes. We didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit but it was very beautiful sitting out on the screened in porch. I highly recommend this place.
