Cozy and comfortable
The 3 ensuite bedrooms were perfect for our group of 3 couples. The screened porch was surrounded by color-changing landscaping and provided a comfy place to relax. The house is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. We enjoyed walking the on-site trails. This was our second time staying at this property and have plans to return.
