We love this property!!
This was the second time we have booked this house and was just as good the second time around. The property just feels like home. We spend alot of time relaxing in the sun on the property. The day we checked in the host had even brought our grocery delivery in and had some fresh cut flowers on the counter!! We love it here!!!

Definitely Paradise
It’s was the perfect getaway, we only live 50 minutes away from this place but it was so nice just to step out of everyday life. The pool, house, grill area, animals was just so perfect and amazing. It was loved from my 10 yr old to my 58 yr old mother. Perfect place to relax and reset. I recommend this place 100x over!

Amazing Home
What a blessing ! We needed a home to stay in that was close by to a project our company was working on. The exact days that we needed were the only days available for this house. Boy were we lucky ! The home and property are amazing ! Out front we were welcomed by two miniature horses, I'm sorry, I forgot their names, and out back is so peaceful and serene. A nice pool, small pond with a dock if you'd like to try fishing, a bar and grill, oh, and a big ole tortoise named Fred. We will hopefully be able to stay here again on the next phase of our project ! You won't be disappointed if you stay here !
