Accommodations were excellent. House was very clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the game room, as well as, the large private bedroom above the garage where they could hang. Cons: Some type of shading while sitting on the patio would have been nice. There is only an umbrella for shading attached to the patio dining set. Also, some guests had an issue with hot water for showers. Otherwise, our stay was fantastic. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay over the 4th of July holiday! We were a group of 6 adults and 8 kids and there was plenty of space for all without feeling crowded. The kids really loved the upstairs bunk room, garage game room and exploring the property and surrounding area. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with items for cooking. The living room had an extra large sectional plus a couple other seating options that easily accommodated our large group. There was no burn ban when we stayed so we were able to have a fire in the outdoor fire pit and the kids all loved roasting marshmallows. There was a large grass area out back for the kids to play baseball and football. They also loved riding bikes around the house and the surrounding road. The hot tub was also a big hit!
