Wow! Beautiful property.

This home was beautiful! It was just me & my husband for 2 days, so we didn't use it to its full potential, but would love to go back with extended family. The place was absolutely spotlessly clean. Beautifully decorated, and the location can't be beat. Walking distance to town in just a couple minutes but the walk back is uphill...not bad, just reminded us we are out of shape. Definitely on our list of places to go back when our adult kids come to visit.
