It was a clean location and comfortable furniture. Everything was good except the residential water smell. (Was advised to let the water drip for a couple of minutes to help with the smell).

We had our team retreat there. The house was great for the amount of people we had for the weekend. Each bed had its own towel and wash cloth which I thought was a great idea! For a large group gathering the place was a perfect spot. The only issue we had was that the upstairs area was not connected to the main floor so you had to go outside to get to the top floor and there was only one bathroom upstairs. With a group of 20 girls we made it work!
