This house was perfect for our family gatherings. It had amazing little touches like extra pillows and blankets, a fully functional kitchen with every appliance you need and even spices! Of course the hot tub and view from the deck was great. We hosted some family dinners, had movie night on the large tv with surround sound and fire place. Even kicked the kids upstairs to the family room for a fun sleepover. The yard was big enough to fly large kits. The local grocery has everything you could need including specialty products. Highly recommend for any family trips.
