I don't know if she is the owner but the lady who rented us the place was really nice. The place outside it's perfect for a family get together. BBQ pit-3 porch the porch on the secon floor is beautiful ! It just needs a little fixing inside the kitchen drawers and restroom. Just a tip ! Take away the carpet to make it a cleaner place. I hope they do fixed a little more inside and it would be 100
