So clean and comfortable!
This is probably the cleanest property I have ever stayed at. Every nook and cranny was clean and to perfection. The MCM vibe was awesome and the place is much nicer than the pictures appear. So many nice little treats for my family to enjoy. And also little games for my small ones to play with. We loved the back porch and although we didn't see deer we sure liked looking for them. My loud family would probably never find deer! Thank you for your beautiful Hospitality in the country we can't wait to come back!
