"We absolutely loved our stay. This home is so special. 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. Grab bars at entry doors and where there are steps, grab bars in the bathrooms made everything so great for our family. 3 separate living rooms. So much space for everyone to spread out for a quiet moment yet the rooms were so big we could all 6 spend time together. This kitchen is amazing. I couldn’t think of one thing that this kitchen needed. 2 refrigerators, 2 ovens. Every gadget you could need. Counter space for a country mile. Dining table for 6 made things extra special as well. This property is stunning we enjoyed the wrap around porch in the evenings after dinner. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. Core memories were definitely made. The Gregg’s"
