House was clean and comfortable with lots of space for multiple families to stay. Lounge area comfortable, seating somewhat lacking for a group of our size (9) but that’s really being picky. Possibly picked the worst week for weather for our holiday but house was warmAnd the outdoor fire area was a great place to be even in poor weather. Awesome location, quiet, good safety with electronic gate. Uber eats & grocery delivery was also a helpful bonus. Highly recommend. ##### Carrie J.
