Even better than it looks in the pictures!
The home was an excellent choice for our extended family of 12. Everyone was very comfortable. The teens especially enjoyed the theater while the little boys (8 & 10) were enamored with the bunk room. The large seating in the main living area where adults could gather and check out the football games was great. Wonderful! I highly recommend.

Fantastic Property and Location
Our group of 14 (father/son golf trip) stayed for 3 nights and we had a great experience. The property was in a perfect location for us (within 5 minutes of 2 beautiful golf courses) and the size of the home and property easily accomodated our group. I would highly recommend this property!
