Perfect for a group of 12

When checking into this home it was ready for us to move right in and just settle in like it was our own home no matter whether it was us as the grandparents or our youngest grandson it had everything we needed it was a nice quiet home with plenty of space for each one of us and even when relatives that we had in the area stopped by for a visit it was a great space to even entertain them. It's in great proximity to Holiday World with just jumping out on the main road that's in front of the house and driving straight in to their parking lot no turns no problems. Such a good experience for us that we went ahead and reserved it for the next year before we ever even checked out this year.

Perfect Stay

The house was very clean on arrival and was nicely decorated! It was the perfect spot for a weekend stay. We even made the mistake of taking the Bluetooth speaker thinking our friend left it behind and the host was very understanding and we were able to get it back to them!

Holiday World with Friends

The house is beautiful and perfect for 2 families of 4. We did not feel crowded at all. It has a full kitchen, 2 full bathrooms and a shower downstairs. We love fishing and actually caught a bass. I would recommend you bring your own poles though. My only complaint is the beds were too firm. The Murphy bed downstairs seemed to be softer though but it was right next to the fun so I didn’t sleep there.
