perfect for our group
This home was exactly as advertised and perfect for our group. The rooms and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the house was beautifully decorated and very clean. Short walking distance to town and restaurants was great! Highly recommend and we would definitely stay again.

PERFECT
The home was PERFECT for our gathering for my daughters graduation. It suited our extended family of seven well, and allowed us to have additional family for dinners (total of 12!). The home was well laid out, VERY comfortable, and had lots of amenities. Right on the Padden Creek Trail which was nice to walk. And town was just a five minute walk away. Would stay there again in a similar situation!
