"This property was perfect for our large group. The home is spacious, stocked with essentials and in a wonderful location. We really appreciated the extra touches: a nice message from the host Jeff, a bottle of wine and water at every bedside! The sunsets were stunning and we saw deer outside in the mornings. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return someday!"
