We stayed here with our two daughters and their young families. Very spacious. Lovely decor. Everyone had enough room. Loved the backyard. Great for the little ones to run around. Crystal promptly answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Lorraine R.

Pictures do not do it justice! Crystal (host) is so on top of everything! If I could give this home 10 stars - I would!! There’s so much room inside and outside of this home - very comfortable! Will definitely be back! ##### Lori A.

The four bedrooms were able to hold 10 high school girls and the coaches. The carpets in the largest bedrooms have enough cushion for sleeping bags, and the beds are all comfortable. The cleanliness and amenities at this property are wonderful. ##### Shiloh S.

The check-in process was seamless, the owners communication was excellent, the living space was very comfortable and the sleeping arrangements quite flexible. We absolutely enjoyed our experience! We will book with you again next year for sure! Thank you for providing a great venue! ##### Shelly G.
