Review Score:   8
Summary: Our family enjoyed the stay very much. The property had the bed space for 12 of the 14 of us with the other two using air beds to supplement. The kids had a great time in the garage with the ping pong, fooseball, and corn hole games. Truth is, even we adults joined in at times as well. Having that space included in the air conditioning is a huge plus. The only flaws in the property center around the bedroom on the main floor. This room has no drapes or blinds on the windows to block out the early morning sun. My wife and I used this room and that made it difficult to sleep beyond about 5:00 am. The second flaw in that space is that when we went to bed at night, we closed the door and that took away two of the five bathrooms for the rest of the family. A sliding door or even some drapes to close off the sleeping area from the hallway leading to the bathrooms would go a long way towards solving that problem. Otherwise this was a great place for our family gathering. There is plenty of space for all and we never felt cramped.
