Wonderful home for our whole family to enjoy. Great kitchen/ gathering space. Quiet country location within a small ( tiny) town. The property was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. Bedrooms were comfortable and baths clean and suitable. Overall it was the perfect spot for a long weekend wth family.
