Beautiful decor! Great home with plenty of room! Downstairs was a surprise with the separate living area and additional bathroom! Might want to bring some cooking supplies if you are planning to cook there, was a challenge with limited pots/pans, no crockpot.
We booked a last moment trip with the intent to see Noah's Ark and Creation Museum with our grandchildren (ages 6-12) and their parents as part of their Christmas gift. We were delighted to find accommodations here. The place was spotless and smelled clean when you walked in the door. The bedrooms were perfect for our crew with plenty of room. The grandkids really loved the ping pong table! Everyone had their privacy, yet we were all able to eat around the same table at mealtimes. I am grateful to have brought my large electric skillet, instant pot and food processor, having planned specific meals to eat there 3 times daily. The cookware was not sufficient for our needs and it would have been a problem, if we had not done so. A few more mixing bowls of larger sizes would be helpful for future guests as well, along with some solid food measuring cups and liquid measuring spoons. The towels and washcloths were thick and classy. 3 bathrooms made life easy for us all. The only comment my daughter shared was to suggest tvs in the bedrooms. Personally, we were fine without that. They had 2 large screen tvs, one in the living area and the other in the nicely modeled downstairs. If we lived in this area, this would be a home I would love to purchase. The neighborhood is very nice, quiet and clean. If we ever do another trip nearby, we will be checking to see if this rental is available. Thank you for helping 2 old grandparents make wonderful memories with the family.
