We came here for a family reunion. The house is beautifully decorated and updated. It is the best stocked VRBO rental we have seen. We were lacking for nothing. The basement activities were fun for everyone. The playroom for the younger children is wonderful! It was an easy check in and out. Kathy, the hostess was very responsive to questions. We highly recommend this place if you are looking to stay in the area!
