The house was amazing! The weather for the weekend wasn't exactly ideal outside, but there were plenty of activities at the house to never have a dull moment. When it rained, we played pool, cards , and video games to pass the time. The house has a wonderful layout and he bedrooms were spacious, fitting every couples needs. The place was clean and had everything we needed to make a weekend full of memories. We can't thank you enough Chris for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be staying again!
