Our family of 25 stayed in both sides of this home. The home was as described and filled our needs quite sufficiently. There was an issue w one of the AC's and we got a quick response when we reached out and the crew stayed on the issue until there was a resolution even though it was christmas eve and christmas day. We would definitely stay here again!

The stay was exactly what the listing showed- no surprises here. We had trouble gaining access to the house and the emergency management line answered and resolved within 5 minutes of calling. House was great and the neighbors were friendly!

The house was perfect for our group! We loved the location. There’s plenty of parking space. The house could use updated mattresses and more furniture in the bedrooms.
