Summary: Gathered my family for the holiday weekend and had a great stay at this property. The house and bedding were in great condition and clean. We enjoyed the many spots around the house to host and hang out with family. The water pressure in the showers was perfect. My favorite part of our stay was walking around the property early in the morning. We will most definitely look into booking this property again, when in the area.
