Loved our stay! The upstairs kitchen and living rooms were open to each other which worked well for us. Having a bedroom downstairs was nice, too, for those who had to go to the bathroom during the night. The game room was such an added bonus! The house was clean and well furnished. Would recommend staying there!!
