The property is immaculate inside with new furnishings to make you feel at home. Upstairs, my son was in heaven with his own retreat area including 2 bunk beds and his own TV and bathroom! Outside are 2 generous decks to enjoy some visiting birds or a quiet BBQ out the back. We'll definitely be returning for another stay, 3 nites just wasn't enough! ##### Annalise A.
