We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental. The location was absolutely perfect for our needs—quiet, convenient, and ideal for anyone who enjoys outdoor walks, especially with the close proximity to Lake Johnson. It made it easy to get out and enjoy nature every day.The home itself was very clean and well-maintained, which we truly appreciated. The room setup worked perfectly for our family, offering both comfort and enough space for everyone to relax. We especially loved their family games selection. Overall, this was a great experience, and we would happily stay here again!

Absolutely loved our stay at Mulberry! We travel frequently (with 2 kids) and this is by far one of our favorite stays. The townhouse is gorgeous, clean and well stocked! Water pressure in the showers was mid but it was only 2 nights so doable. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks for hosting!
