Kelly and Jerry have thought of everything you may need on your vacation. We found the house and property immaculately clean and inviting. It was hard to leave and go sight seeing because you just wanted to sleep in each morning and explore the outdoor deck after being gone all day! We're so greatful you shared your home with us! Truly a place that we would come back to and have the fondest of memories! A great place to drop ancor indeed!
