Reviewer Comments: If you're searching for a spacious home to accommodate you, your adult children, their spouses, and children all under one roof, this house is ideal. The house is fantastic, with each bedroom having its own bathroom and a living area that's more than ample. The expansive kitchen table serves as an excellent spot for game playing. Enjoying your morning coffee on the uppermost deck with its early morning views was the trip's standout moment. I strongly recommend this house. ##### Chelsea O.
