We’ve come here twice for a friends reunion, bringing our collective 9 children and it’s been a hit both times! The house has a great setup for dining, and awesome outdoor space. Even in the cold our kids loved going out to explore or play the mini golf set. The hosts were very responsive to any needs or questions. Would highly recommend this stay for your group!

Amazing place for gateway! We spent the Labor Day weekend there! The communication with the owner was great and easy access to the place! We loved the design of the house! Thanks Leanne!
The house was very nice and secluded but close to stores in the town of Menlo. It was spacious, comfortable, and very convenient to family that we were visiting. It had a nice yard and good walking trails. The hosts were very responsive to questions that we had.
This property was magnificent: the view, the "feel" of the home itself, the furnishings and decor, no amenities were forgotten, and we felt right at home immediately. My husband and I take our 5 grandchildren on a 4-5 trip every year to engage in outdoor nature activities. This property was perfect with its paths through the woods, the pond, the beautiful grassy, landscaped lawn and rolling hills. Additionally, we do crafts and hands-on activities with them during our week together. There was plenty of table space, decks/porches, sun room and living space to do all the activities we had planned. And the history of the location made everything even more special for us. Our kids (ages 10, 11, 15, 18 and 20) and my husband and I loved our time on this property. It was a memorable time for all of us.
