This was a very unique property in the sense that it was large and can accommodate a large group. The decor was adorable, and a lot of attention to detail was apparent in how each room was decorated. I came away with some great ideas to redecorate my own home. This is also a great location if you were ever going do a little friends/family reunion because there are multiple houses to rent on a property. The landscaping was also very welcoming and beautiful.
