We recently stayed at this house for Memorial Day weekend and it was fabulous! It exceeded our expectations in many areas. The house itself was spotless, stylish and well equipped. Very good communication from the owner and host. No issues with the cooling or anything else. Beds were very comfortable! Will stay again.

Stayed the weekend with some friends, to be close by my son after Prom. Place was perfect, clean, and beautiful. Corn hole boards were perfect for our quick stay. House was fully stocked with anything you may need. Has plenty of room. Would definitely stay here again.
