Nice yard for the dog. Since it was chilly, didn't get to enjoy the deck much.

The house was serviceable. A little pricey for what it was, but it worked just fine.

This house was great during our stay. The backyard photos doesn't capture how vast the space really is. It was very spacious and comfortable for me and my family (8 of us including our dogs). The house has great central air and plenty of windows for natural light. Getting in and out of the house was easy with front parking spots for 2 cars. Our host Brandon was very comunicative and accommodating. Overall, we are all very satisfied with our stay and will definitely rebook in the future!
