Great place for Girls Weekend
This was a perfect place for a girls weekend trip. The space was big enough to walk away and do your own thing if you wanted, and the open floor plan was great to socialize in during mealtimes. Great great place!

Perfect weekend getaway!
This home was the perfect space for two families! We loved utilizing the game room, fire pit, dock for fishing, and of course the hot tub! Wish we could have stayed longer! The owner was also quick to respond on any questions we had. We would definitely recommend staying here!
