I rented the place for a birthday weekend with some friends and one child and small dog. It was a great location to pioneer town. Locals were friendly and easy to talk to, and there were plenty of options to eat. There was also a cute park we stopped by. The beautiful property had all the amenities you needed. I also loved how the kitchen was labeled ❤️ The backyard was so beautiful during the day and night, enjoyed the salt water pool, jacuzzi, and fire pit outside. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful oasis.
