Summary: The property was amazing, the house was elegant, very clean, and the location was perfect and close to town. We felt very welcomed into the home, and it was very personable. All the amenities were so fun, we all enjoyed the corn hole and other games that were provided. We also loved watching the great streaming options on TV. The beds and couches were very comfortable to sit and sleep on.
