This property was perfect for our trip to The Big House and visiting with cousins in the area. Super quiet neighborhood, well stocked bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty of cookware/utinsels, and the hot tub and dock to fish off of were an added bonus. Looking forward to staying again for another future visit with our local family!
