Wonderful Home For Long Stay

We stayed in Gretchen’s home for 5 weeks and had a wonderful time. Their house comes with all the amenities you need, beautiful backyard with a tv, and a nice king bed for the master. Gretchen is super attentive and easy to communicate with. Location is great, walking distance to many restaurants along the St. John River.
