Perfect weekend getaway

Plenty of room for large groups. Beds were some of the most comfortable and clean. Only drawback was refrigerator needed a good cleaning due to a blood spill causing smell and weird film on all the glassware.

Waterwheel House

The house was very clean, the beds comfortable. The house is close enough to the interstate that it can be hard to have a quiet conversation on the front porch. Other than that a nice house and stay.

Was ok needs some tlc

The kids loved the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable and nice sheets, and it had a pack and play in the highchair which worked out great! Didn’t feel like we were all on top of each other. We all had our own rooms which was great.

The only issue we had was finding the place in the dark. Maybe leave a porch light, and Apple Maps has the address off.
