Amazing & perfect property on a quiet & safe street. We had 4 couples and 9 kids staying together for a long wedding weekend. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own place to retreat to, and still come together for family meals and lots of playtime on the front porch. Parking on the street was easy, and stocking up on groceries was a snap at the Super Walmart 12 minutes away.
