Large Clean House, Great for a group gathering

Our teen girls group had a great time at this house. A fire pit, kayaks, and a large house to spread out in. We truly enjoyed ourselves. Pretty quiet area despite how close the houses are together. Owner texted back quickly with help when needed. Thank you :)

family time

Our families gathered. Three different families. The younger ones spent the night. During the day we enjoyed a snowball fight, games, TV, and lots of good meals together. The kitchen is fantastic, We could prepare, cook, and do dishes all together. The upstairs bedrooms gave us room to spread out. The two dining areas gave us space to gather.
