"Genie & Mark were very accommodating…From the upgraded kitchen to the upgraded bathrooms to the very clean, inviting & comfortable bedrooms their attention to detail was amazing…Throw in the complimentary slippers & toothbrushes and you feel like your in a 5 a star resort…We come up this way annually and with the house minutes away from everything we will look forward to our return…I’m sure they have upgraded plans for the backyard and can hardly wait for the finished results…See you again ...
