We spent 10 days - my wife and our two year old and two month old, near my wife's family, and really loved it. The house is as it seems in the pictures - cute, comfortable, inviting, stacked with everything you need - and lots of fun things to keep you and friends/family entertained (pickleball court was great!). Chrissy and John are very responsive, answered questions typically in minutes and even sent someone to the house when there was a (minor) issue. Highly recommend! ##### Joseph H.
