December 2024
Our family of 8 adults have just spent 4 nights at this beautiful location. The home was very spacious, clean, had everything we needed, all you need is your clothes & food and you're all set! Location was beautiful with views to the lakes and beyond. We all had the best time, very relaxing. We have all decided we are coming back next year. Thank you Amelia for your kind and friendly services.
