Bachlorette Party Success

It was my daughter's bachlorette party and I had the task of booking a house to stay in for the girls. This house holds a lot of people and there was wonderful space. The house had so much character which was lovely to look at and experience. The area is in the Drake area but in a very nice, safe area that makes you feel comfortable. Owners were nice people. Highly suggest them for your large gathering needs. :)
