Guest Review: “We rented the house for a weekend family get together. It was fantastic! Comfy beds (no grown ups on the bunk bed though!) and a great yard for the littles to play. Walking distance to a park, tons of channels on TV, great kitchen! The place was super clean when we arrived and we had lots of room for the 8 of us. We had groceries delivered easily from Walmart and just about every cuisine delivered there as well (we had cold stone creamery ice cream delivered on Sat!) One tip – if you bring kids grab some paper plates and cups. The dishes and glasses are BEAUTIFUL, but my boys can’t be trusted with beautiful so they used paper :-)” – Partney
