Summary: Our 3 generation family had a lovely time here - beautiful spacious house, wonderful yard with tables on back deck for dining al fresco, quick responses from owner, very well stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook for a big family, and woods surrounding property made it feel very quiet and secluded! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
