Glenda C. Oct 7, 2024 02:38:12 AM
Summary: The house is huge, comfortable and well appointed with thoughtful touches throughout. The beds and linens are superior. The kitchen had any and everything you might need. And there were plenty of little extras available in case you forgot something. The property is remote from stores/restaurants- most at least a 15 or 20 minute drive. But that makes it special if you want to de-stress and relax. For adults it was perfect and the guys loved the reclining sofas.
Debora C. Sep 28, 2024 08:17:41 PM
Summary: College roommates together for a quick visit. Lovely property. We really enjoyed making dinner and breakfast in the kitchen (well stocked spice rack) and found ourselves gathered there around the big island. Comfortable beds. Spacious bathrooms.
