We had a wonderful time. Had a surprise 40th weekend for my bestie! The house had everything we needed. Had a couple small issues, texted the homeowners and they responded quickly. The steam shower upstairs is AMAZING! I used it 3 times while I was there!!

Big Blue for the win!

The house is large and easily housed 6 of us-we didn't even use all sleeping areas. We spent more time staying in then going out because we really enjoyed being there. The hot tub is really nice and so is the fire pit. We had lots of privacy in the back yard and enjoyed watching the wildlife visiting. The location is nice because you are close to Stevensville's downtown and not far from St. Joseph. All 3 bathrooms are stocked with high quality soaps, shampoo, and conditioner. The showers are very modern. We had such a great time and we are already planning our next trip!
