we had the whole family (6 adults and 3 kids) at the house and it fit everyone so well. super clean. great back area. house has an amazing layout. would definitley stay there again.
The house was perfect for our group. The athletes on our team had everything that they needed to recover each day and prepare for the next day of competition. They had a blast in the game room and cooking meals together.
We enjoyed our stay here with family and friends. Perfect home for our young kids of age 3 and 6. Spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, living space. Luxury appliances and furnishings. Well stocked kitchen. Tall ceilings. Fun pool table in the great room. Huge backyard to sled in. Home provided 5 sleds which came in handy!
