We scheduled the weekend at the house with our kids and their wife and girlfriend for my husband’s birthday. This was the perfect place to relax and connect. Play games and cook wonderful meals. The home had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable and a great way to relax and unwind. I would definitely recommend this property.

This place is amazing. We had a chance to stay there for a ballon fest and localization was great. Place is newly renovated and it looked very good. Beautiful view from the back yard. House had everything what we needed. Highly recommended.
