Peaceful Barndominium Close To Pontiac
Fully furnished barndominium within 3 minute drive to Pontiac. Has Wi-Fi, cable TV, washer/dryer and very peaceful yard to relax around the fire pit. Plenty of space to take the dog for a walk. Hosts were incredibly friendly and very accommodating. Will definitely stay here again.
