This property had absolutely EVERYTHING you could imagine. It was clean and cozy. It was only my husband, myself and our pups, however there is plenty of room for families. The weather was a bit rainy so the board games, record player and TVs definitely came in handy. The development is quiet with beautiful scenery, especially with the fall foliage. It looks like it would be a blast their during the summer as well. The property owner was responsive and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this property.
