Cook up a delicious lunch for the kids with the stove provided while you wait for the clothes to dry in the full-sized washer & dryer. If your kids are feeling restless, light up one of the scented candles lying around the house for a waft of the natural world, without stepping out even one step. Dive into the huge saltwater pool outdoors at the end of a hot summer day! The silky soft texture of saltwater pools are a hit with kids - mainly because they feel like a pool of rainwater.
