Great spot. We had family come in from out of town and the house was perfect for everyone. The open-concept layout made it easy to hang out together, and the place felt cozy and comfortable from the moment we walked in. The backyard was a nice bonus, and the location was easy to find with no issues getting in. Would definitely stay again.
