Summary: Our family stayed here while in town for a wedding, and we had a great stay! We were greeted with a sweet welcome gift from our hosts and found everything just as described in the listing. We really enjoyed the pool table and dart board, especially! The house is decorated with authentic hunting and outdoor themed decor, and it was very homey and welcoming! Our host was very friendly and helpful, and we had absolutely no problems during our stay. There were plenty of extra blankets, lots of included extras like soap, razors, shampoo, etc. Such a fun and relaxing stay, we highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in the area!
