Summary: The property looked like the photos and was very clean. We had 6 female friends stay in the house and it worked out well. The hot tub felt great after doing a local Half Marathon. We really enjoyed the front porch and the peacefulness of the property. Only down side was the lack of dishwasher so we had to wash dishes by hand which wasn’t a big deal, but we wished we brought paper plates with us.
