"The property and home were exactly what we envisioned! Spacious and clean with quiet and gorgeous acreage. Plenty of parking space for several vehicles since most in our group arrived separately. We enjoyed the golf carts, bonfires and s’mores and making meals in the open kitchen / dining / family room area. We enjoyed the close proximity to brewery, grocery stores and small town shops and baked goods. We are grateful for the time with family at this property and look forward to our return soon!"
