50th Birthday Dinner

From the moment that we arrived everything was perfect. The house was so welcoming and beautiful. The house was very well stocked with everything that was needed and then some. Ron was such a pleasant host to communicate with. I would recommend this place time and time again.

Perfect Stay

There are no words to describe this home and Ron's attentiveness to his guests. The interior of the home is so comfortable and cozy and no detail is spared. We were in town for a volleyball tournament and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This is memory that our girls will have for a very long time. I would highly recommend staying if you get the opportunity!

Perfect for a weekend get away

We are a group of 10 and the house was perfect for us. Lots of room to watch TV, play games, parking off the street. Used the game room in the basement and the cornered patio by the water. The host was quick to respond to our questions

Loved it!

This house is beautiful. It was well equipped for our family gathering, and so much room inside and out nobody wanted to leave! The one possible issue there may be is was keeping the noise level down outside if you have a larger crowd. Neighbors are very close. We enjoyed our stay!
