Great house in a perfect location

The house amenities made it feel like you were at home - everything you needed was available. Also, lots of restaurants, shopping and great state park near by. Excellent communications with owner. The mattress in the master was nice but the ones in both guest rooms are extra firm, which I typically prefer but my grandkids did not. This house will be our goto for future family visits.
