Review Score:   8
Summary: Convenient location and adjacent to biking and walking path. Lots of family room space and we had fun in the game room. Large yard in back. Multi levels of bedrooms and baths worked great for our group of 7. Most bathrooms have walkin tub with showers. Not my favorite. The house was missing some needed kitchen and cleaning basics. For our group it was a great fit.
