“We were very pleased with the house. The dining room table was a focal point for many great discussions and bonding time. The house was large enough that everyone felt comfortable and at home. A couple of my student leaders now want to host retreats at the house! Overall, we greatly enjoyed the house and would definitely go back and recommend it to others. Everything was VERY clean. ”
