Clean and Quiet
We spent Memorial Day weekend here to visit my in-laws. There was plenty of room inside for the entire family. And the back yard was big and fully fenced for the fur babies. The view from the front living room windows is beautiful.

Has potential
First night not good. Bed post collapsed, back bed room would not cool so our guests moved out to a hotel, live and dead roaches spotted, and back room had a strong order of mildew. Owners corrected the cooling problem and broken bed promptly after being notified the next day. This is a five bedroom house not six as advertised. This place has the potential for being much better. Floors, dishes, and bathrooms were not very clean.
