Such an amazing experience When we go there the house was clean it felt cozy and there was some laminated paper to explain the rules of the house the history of the house and the family also how to get around the house. It was easy to get a hold of the owner and get a reply in hours. The house was perfect for the family with board games the jacuzzi was a plus, there was extra blankets the beds were comfy as was the blankets. and overall the amazing peaceful experience we had as a family. This place was perfect and we would love to comeback and do it again. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to getaway. Thanks to John and his wife and kids for letting us use their home for our vacation. ##### Jesus B.
