Reviews
DJS
We rented the house for a customer golf outing, and we were blown away from the time we arrived until we departed. The house allowed each person to have their own bathroom and room, which is rare when renting a house. It also had everything we needed, and our guests loved the cribbage board. I would highly recommend this property to anyone regardless of who is visiting. As a bonus, the 3rd-floor bonus room is great for kids. If you are looking for a unique dining experience, I would also recommend chef Brett McKee. We used Chef Brett for two dinners, and it was a fantastic touch on an already great week.
