My family and I absolutely loved our stay. Very welcoming and cozy with plenty of room for a family of 7! Cooking Thanksgiving dinner was amazing with the large kitchen. Kids were entertained with the game room and board games which was crucial since the weather was not the best. Only regret was we were not able to stay longer.
