A beauiful property with plenty of things to do. The house was super clean and the beds were comfy... what else can you ask for! ##### Tanya D. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara H. Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ample space, beautiful views and plenty of activities! This place was absolutely perfect for our group! It comfortably sleeps 15 without feeling cramped. There was plenty of space to relax, hang out, and enjoy. Unlike other rentals we've stayed at that try to cram in extra beds, this home felt open and spacious even with a full group. We loved the outdoor setup with bag boards, bonfires, and room to just unwind. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. I’d 1000% come back, highly recommend! ##### Sara H. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025
