short family getaway

This absolutely beautiful home was kept so immaculately. There was a great variety of dvds for late night entertainment. Nice big back yard for the dogs and kids to play in. The rooms were very spacious. Everything was very comfortable. I am a person who usually can not sleep in any other bed but my own, yet the queen bed was very comfortable for me to sleep in.It was the perfect home way from home.Thank you very much.
