The home was beautiful. Perfect size for my family. We needed all the space and it was a time well spent for Christmas. We loved the home. It had more than enough cooking sets, plates and cups and the cooking ware was of great quality. It even had the home decorated for the holidays so it was perfect. Nothing needed to be changed.
Beautiful property for a family reunion. There was plenty to do for all ages and the home was equipped just as advertised. Most of the beds were very comfortable. The floor plan of the houses allowed enough flexibility to accomodate preferences of both young and old.
