Excellent Get-away

Outstanding property and hosts go out of their way to make the place feel welcoming! Strongly recommend this property. A nice add would be WIFI if you need to do some work while on vacation. Altogether, will look to book this place each time I visit home.

Great Experience

My family and one other family stayed at the house for a local softball tournament in the area. We enjoyed everything about the house it was exactly what we expected. It was near all the ball fields that we could have possibly played at but still had that feeling of being far enough away that we could relax and enjoy our time away from the city life. Patricia was very nice, responsive and accommodating for us which made our stay even that much more enjoyable. We would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking in the area. We will definitely see if this property is available next time we have a softball tournament in the area.
