Great place for a large family
We recently stayed here for 3 nights with 7 kids. We found it large enough to really spread out and everyone have their own space. The kids especially enjoyed having a king or queen sized bed (almost) entirely to themselves. We didn't even use the "extra" bedding areas-office or living/ front room pull out sofa.

Not ready at check in!!
We arrived at 4 pm (check in 3pm) and house was a mess from the previous renters! cleaning crew was short handed and did what they could do to get it ready.. The previous renters left a full pantry of new and used food items along with a full refridgerater! Cleaning person had sent me a text msg that they were running behind but i could not check my phone while i was driving. She did let us in to unload our suitcases and we all went to Dinner when we got back it was much better. Oh and don't think you can park 2 cars in garage unless they are smart cars lots of junk all around garage!!

Great Family Get Away
The property was in a great location, very clean and we were able to have enough space for the entire group. We’ve stayed at several VRBO’s over the years, this property exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our stay very much and would rent again for sure.
