"We stayed here with two other families and the house was a perfect home base for the weekend. The kitchen had just about everything we needed, the bedrooms are spacious, and the kids loved the basement as a hang out space. The location is great because it’s not far off the interstate and the house is directly across the street from a huge park. We took the younger kids over to play; nice that it was walkable. Would stay here again!"
