Great Thanksgiving getaway
We stayed here while visiting family for Thanksgiving and it couldn't have been better. The property was exactly as described. It was super cute and was spotless. We liked that the shower, toilet, and sink were all separate. The screened in porch and the high ceilings just added to the ambiance. All in all it was a great property. We will more than likely book again in the future.
