Had a great time staying in this home. Nicely decorated, very clean, everything worked well, beds good, really appreciated the fenced in yard for our dog. Home backs to the Port Trail, gives easy access for walking, biking all over town. Would stay again!
Grest communication with the staff. They had to relocate us before our arrival date and everything went smoothly.
WindMark was a great location for walking, proximity to PCB and PSJ. A littke bit of a drive to Tally for the game but overall great!
