IT IS VERY QUIET AND THE HOME IS VERY COZY AND CAN ACCOMIDATE 9 PEOPLE VERY COMFORTABLY. THE HOUSE IS NEWLY REMODELED AND VERY SPACIOUS. THE GAMEROOM WAS PERFECT FOR THE ONES THAT WANTED TO WATCH A MOVIE WHLE THE OTHERS WERE ABLE TO PLAY GAMES IN THE MAIN ROOM. THE VIEW OUT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE WAS AMAZING AND PEACEFUL. THE BEDS WERE VERY COMFORTABLE AND THE SHEETS AND THE TOWELS VERY CLEAN AND CRISP. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL REFRIGERATOR THAT WE WERE ABLE TO USE FOR THE FOOD THAT WE BROUGHT. THERE WAS PLENTY OF TOWELS FOR EVERYONE. THERE WAS ALSO PLENTY OF PARKING FOR EVERYONE TO PARK. IF THERE WAS A 20 STAR OPTION THAT IS THE OPTION THAT I WOULD CHOOSE. THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND QUICK TO RESPOND TO MESSAGES. ##### MAndie H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025
