Fun and Relaxing
The property was everything they stated and more!! The kitchen had everything you could have imagined to prepare meals with along with the gas grill outside. There was a good assortment of games to play and we did play some of them. The outside is very well maintained and there are kayaks there to use so you don’t have to rent them. A 15 minute ride will get you to several different area attractions which makes it a great location. We have absolutely no complaints with this VRBO.
