It was the perfect place

We needed a place for our out of town family to stay that offered enough social space for everyone to gather and enough beds for everyone to sleep. They haven't stopped raving about this Willow Glen house. It lacked none of the amenities and it's in a great location.

We host camps for our affiliates several times a year and always book a house for instructor. In all the years we finally found the perfect house! Close to everything in a great neighborhood and in great condition, the house made our week even better. Will definitely be booking this house again!
