"This property is AMAZING. Visited with my family (adults and teens) and had the best time. The property is huge! the house is absolutely beautiful, it's very well stocked, clean, plenty of pillows, towels, etc. The sitting space in the main common area was perfect for game night. Super comfortable beds. Blankets all over made it feel super cozy. The garage/ game room not only has a bunch of activities but also a huge sofa and TV, it was a total hit with the kids and the patio and fireplace WOW! Overall a completely wonderful experience. Communication with the host was also very good. Thanks for sharing your beautiful ranch."
