    “Great stay.”

    We had 9 people.Parked 3 cars on the nearby streets no problem. Location is spot on! The house is spacious and the facilities are great the sauna is spot on! The only problem we ran into is that it’s advertised as 10 adults however the bunk beds are small and are for children.
