Wonderful property, very clean, spacious and perfect for visiting our WC during Family Weekend. My son loved the pool. Would stay here again for sure. The host was kind and quick to respond.

Absolutely Fantastic
Brian was a great. We were in town for a funeral and he was thoughtful. House was beautiful and better than I could have imagined. Very well put together. Lots of games for the family to play with and even though it was colder than usual the kids still jumped in the pool and it was awesome.

Watching college softball
The place was amazing! Great location to the softball games we came down to watch. The photos online did not do this place justice. Home was set up for visitors if all ages. The game room was used nightly, kids loved the games and learned to play poker on a chips and poker table. The outdoor space was peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely book this house again.

Great Family VRBO
The house is set up well to entertain kids of all ages. Lots of games and activities available, which was great for us with our toddler. We cooked dinner every night and very much appreciated the well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the patio and appreciated the many areas for us to gather - Nice big dining table and plenty of seating in the living room. The neighborhood was very nice quiet mid-century development with walking trails nearby. Would be super fun during summer when the pool is warm enough to use.
