Review Score: 8

Summary: Our stay at this home was quite nice. There are a lot of sleeping spaces including comfortable futons outside of the actual bedrooms. The rooms on the main floor are large which is nice for multiple families. The house had 2 separate staircases leading upstairs which helped with the awkwThere are 2 picnic tables just outside the kitchen where we ate all of our meals, and a nice seated area on the back deck.
