Located in an older little quiet town with a "country" vibe. This an amazing property that was renovated from a bar / marina and has TONS of history. This is a perfect place to bring the family together.

While we do allow kids and consider the house kid friendly, there are a few thing you may need to keep in mind when bringing smaller kids . Here are a few but not limited to; The porch does have cable railing with large gap and is slightly elevated. There are larger hills and unlevel/drop off areas on the land . You will be required to watch your children at all time and do not leave them unattended.

Sister Birthday Celebration

Our stay was great only flaws that I can complain about the gate gave of trouble continuosly #5 & #8 didnt wrk well and since the code needed both we got stuck at the gate numerous times and the dryer didnt work which made keeping clean towels for 4 women very difficult for a 4 night stay. Also the other properties were listed in the description so we werent aware of the opportunity for multiple parties to stay at the same time. Overall great place & great host will definitely stay again
