Was celebrating my anniversary with my partner and we had a lovely time, everything is pretty close to where you stay. Thereโ€™s lot of activities/shopping to do as well. The main thing that drew us in was the backyard and hot tub the back yard seating area was probably my favorite place to relax throughout the week the neighborhood is pretty quite thankfully because we did not realize the houses would be on top of each other. Overall would highly recommend if youโ€™re looking for a home away from home that you can have a good balance of relax and play.
