The house was stunning! We celebrated my daughter’s 18th bday with some friends and it was perfect for all 14 of us. Would definitely stay again.

The most beautiful house we have stayed at. It was stunning just like the photos. The game area was great. It was peaceful and the beds were comfortable too.
