Summary: We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect—close to the university. There was tons of games and entertainment. The house itself had plenty of space and lots of sleeping options, which worked out great for our group. Communication with the owners was excellent—they were quick to respond and made the whole process smooth and easy. Overall, it was the perfect spot for our trip, and we would definitely stay here again!
