We recently stayed at this property with a group of 12, and it was a great fit for our trip. The location was excellent and made it easy for us to explore the surrounding area and enjoy everything nearby.The house itself was spacious and worked really well for a larger group. There was plenty of room for all of us to gather together and hang out, but also enough separate spaces to spread out and have some privacy when we needed it. That balance made a big difference for our stay.The outdoor seating areas were very nice, although we only used them briefly during our stay. When we first arrived, the house was a bit warm, but the wall-mounted AC units cooled everything down fairly quickly and kept us comfortable for the rest of our stay.Overall, we had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this property to others, especially for larger groups, and if we return to the area, we would happily stay here again.
