Nice Home for Business Travel
My work team stayed here while on a project for Eastern Shore. It is a good location for our project. GPS did led us to the wrong location, but the homeowner helped. The house was clean, and the beds were comfortable.

Excellent getaway
Property was clean, and the kitchen had everything you could need. Loved the hardwood floors, and it was excellent for children and pets. There were games, and a dog bed and treats as well. The place may appear small, but is actually very well laid out, and the yard is an excellent place to enjoy the children with games and activities. Would highly recommend using this place for the price. Much better then any hotel in the area.
