Great place to relax.

The home was very comfortable inside and out. It was evident that a lot of thought went into the recent remodeling effort. There were many nice design elements which made our stay very enjoyable.Everything that we needed was there, both indoor and outdoor. We walked in and immediately felt at home.We enjoyed the deck, grill, and especially the fire pit.The property is not as secluded as had wished. We highly recommend booking this property.
