Summary: The reality of the place was much better than the pictures. It was so convenient to where we needed to go. A bonus was thet Emu Ridge was just 5 minutes away.The house is very solid and well stocked. Little poochie approved of the place as well. She had a well fenced yard to roam in. Thank-you for sharing this wonderful place.Darlene and Alex
