Livin\' the Dream was beautiful and well maintained. It had plenty of space to house everyone comfortably and the open floor plan was great. We were also able to use the kayaks despite it being a little chilly; we\'re hopeful to come back during warmer weather to take full advantage of all of the amenities. Thank you for hosting us!
