Amazing 2nd visit!

This was our 2nd year staying at the property. It’s was just as good as we remembered. The house has been well maintained. It is equipped with everything you need and more. We visited with our children and grandkids . Plenty of seating to hang out together inside or on the large back deck. Communication with the owner was great. Highly recommended if you need a place to stay in the area.
