Perfect Family Getaway!

This home is beautiful, private, and so well appointed. Steve was an excellent host, responding quickly and kindly to our questions. (No problems, just questions!) The home had something for everyone, from the massage chair, to the hot tub, to the tv's, game system, and amazing home theater. The place was immaculate, and beautifully decorated for Christmas! We had a wonderful time!
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024
