The house is not only beautiful, but much larger than the pictures show. There are many areas to relax in, visit with others and just get "away".The pool area equipped with bar was a great hang out for our family of 8 adults and three children. Bedrooms are large and beds are super comfy in all rooms. Laurie is great to work with and it is obvious she takes great pride in assuring each guest is comfortable.

It was beautiful and clean, the yard was immaculate and the pool was absolutely stunning. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you’d need. The beds were comfortable and there was a lot of room for everyone. I’d VERY highly recommend this property to anyone looking! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6803b50f-2b60-484f-9fc4-34ad50ba8d15-1753560965117.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rebecca M.
