The house itself was wonderfully decorated and stocked, very clean and comfortable. The porch, large yard, and game room were a huge hit with the kids. Maria was extremely responsive and provided a great list of amenities nearby. The house was close enough to lots of our activities, but settled in a very quiet neighborhood. The kids got a real kick out of the wild turkeys roaming through the yard! Overall was a great experience! ##### Molli N. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025
