Pleasant stay
We had a wonderful time at this property. The place exceeded our expectations. It provided enough silence and privacy for our families. The house was very clean. The backyard had some minor garbage from previous guests, but it wasn't a big deal, and we cleaned it up quickly. Our only suggestion is to have a bigger or newer BBQ, although the current one still works well.
