Wonderful Time Spent With Family
My husband and I were in the area visiting our son and his wife and their 3 week old baby. The house was perfect for us. Spacious and well appointed . We stayed in most of the six days we were there and cooked. The kitchen was so well stocked, there wasn’t anything my husband, the chef of the family, needed. We especially loved The Toasted Toad “bar” which was a perfect addition when you’re traveling with an infant and can’t go out to a real bar. Pool table, dart board, TV. We had many memorable nights at the Toasted Toad. Honorable mention goes to the fire pit . Coming from Florida it was nice to have a fire in the middle of the summer. Great time bonding with family.

Cozy get away
Perfect place for a cozy weekend. The weather was not the greatest but the hot tub, rec room, games and TV were all a bonus for family time away from home. We were especially happy to be able to bring our dog.
