This was a gorgeous home in a beautiful nature setting. We saw multiple deer right from the deck. Great size house for our large family. The second living room with kitchenette really came in handy.

Bringing friends together

It was a great place for 6 teens to hang out together making memories. They used the entry level with lots of beds, full bathroom, mini fridge, sink, TV, and washer/dryer. With three more bedrooms and 2 more full bathrooms on the main and 3rd floor the adults had room to relax. Bonus set of washer dryer on main floor and wonderful views of the property from the great room. Had a great time, thanks.
