Wonderful home!
We enjoyed this lovely home and neighborhood. My husband was thrilled to have an office to work in, the kitchen was terrific, the back porch enjoyable and the air conditioning when needed was excellent. It was perfect!

Woodsy lake house
Wonderful large house in very quiet neighborhood. Only downside was the lack of decent kitchen gear. (Pans warped, knives dull, cooktop hard to use.)

Beautiful and comfortable place to stay.
We rented this house for just over two weeks. It is spacious yet cozy, with a fenced in yard our dogs enjoyed. Neighborhood felt safe and friendly, and we saw deer walking around every day. Nearby parks are great for walks and bike riding. Manager is very nice and great about answering emails.
