There are 2 large bathrooms with showers in both and a relaxing tub in the main bathroom. Hair dryers, towels, soaps, and shampoos are plentiful. Relax on the screened porch, enjoy a game of ping pong or toss the football in the huge back yard. Enjoy a movie on a 70 inch screen with high end sound.
