Fantastic stay
We stayed for four nights while attending a family member’s wedding. The house is fantastic, really comfortable and stylish with everything you need. The cowboy pool was so nice to have (basically a hot tub) and the house was an easy walk to South Congress for our morning breakfast pastries. The hosts were very responsive and attentive. We would certainly stay agaibb
