"A perfect stay - John and his family were truly wonderful. The house is attached to thier main house, but also very private and secure. We were in town for a wedding weekend and this was the perfect spot for us - truly a beatuiful property! John was helpful in telling us about all of the local spot and supplying us with everything we needed. His wife even welcomed us with a cheese board and wine! Thanks John and family - we had a great time!"
