Great Place for Family Time
We appreciated having such a lovely, clean space with plenty of beds and baths to accommodate our family gathering of six adult sisters. Although our weekend plans didn't leave time to take advantage of cooking in the well appointed kitchen it would have been a delightful place to prepare a meal. We loved sitting on the back screened-in porch drinking our morning coffee, listening to an array of birds and watching a charm of finches.

Family birthday fun
This house was the perfect layout for our family and we loved the big yard, covered deck, and fire pit.
