We needed a place to call home for a few days. This was a wonderful place.very quiet and comfortable. Beautiful landscape and wonderful host. They were very generous to our needs. The Wi-Fi was excellent. The location is great. We were able to access to the casinos and local stores within 10 minutes and still be able to have country quietness. We would rent this place again without a doubt.
