Great house with great hosts!

I would definitely stay here again. It was just like the pictures and really well appointed. You can tell Pat and Mary actually put thought into what you would want when you rent a house. It’s a kitchen you can actually use to make meals and feed everyone. They made everything super easy and were great hosts. Highly recommend!

My wife and I stayed here for a week with our kids, 7 and 4, in late 12/2023. The house suited our needs perfectly. The kids enjoyed the available board games. The option to heat the pool was nice. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
