Gather in the shade of the magnolia tree and swing with a tall glass of sweet tea or quite possibly a glass of wine.

The host answered our few minor questions very quickly and genuinely cared about our stay and our travels. There were four outdoor areas that were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful setting. The home was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Many unique touches to the home by the host that made the experience very special (I learned a lot about AL football!)....
