Great house for a getaway

We had a reunion with college friends and our families at this property, and it was wonderful! House was very clean when we checked in and plenty of space for our big group. The kids loved the playground, basketball/pickleball court, and open space for running around.

Comfortable relaxing house

The house is quite large and accommodated all of our needs. It was very clean and cozy. The AC was pumping so make sure to ask ahead of time to have access to the key to turn up the air; we were chilly!

Better in person

We had our women's retreat here and it was a wonderful weekend. The house was the perfect place to connect and refresh. The great room and kitchen set up was perfect for a large group to be able to be together. The rooms were all comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed. It was colder so we weren't able to use the beautiful outdoor space but we did take a walk around the area.

House was nicer than we expected!

This was a great place to stay for the weekend. The pictures didn’t show the pool table and ping-pong table, so that was an extra. The house is very big and spacious, perfect for a large group! There’s a Pickleball net on the basketball court. You have to bring your own Pickleball equipment though. It has a gas fire place. The host was a little slow to respond when we first booked but got us all taken care of during our stay when we had questions.

Beautiful home!

The house was beautiful! There were many rooms for everyone to stay in comfortably. The living room area was so nice, spacious, and cozy. We really liked that the kitchen was spacious and had a lot of seating. The outdoor area was really nice and we spent a lot of time there. There was more than enough room to set up a volleyball net and play all kinds of games. The host responds quickly, was very nice, and very welcoming! Would definitely stay here again

New Years Getaway

We had a wonderful time! Plenty of room for a great family weekend. Lots of fun in the game room and doing puzzles and game playing. We did miss a tv mostly because we love football! The Wi-fi wasn’t really good for such a large group…. but it was lots of fun to just enjoy the time together! Thanks for a great weekend!

Great location and house !

I’m overall a great stay ! Kitchen and house was well equipped. The listing did not mention no alcohol and the only time we were informed was 3 days prior to check in. It should be noted that no alcohol is allowed (other than wine) on the listing. It would have nice to have the ability to adjust the heat as some of our guests bedrooms were cold and there was no ability to turn up the heat. The WiFi was also weak which was ok for steaming a movie on a projector but didn’t not allow for many guests to logged on and multiple users having access.

Great Friend Getaway

We were a group of 4 families with 18 children between us all, and we had a great time relaxing, exploring, and playing games! The agent helped us through an issue with the home's HVAC and the space was perfect for us all to spread out and enjoy time together! It was quiet and secluded. Beds and bedrooms were comfortable, and the unpictured garage/game space was a bonus for us with a second fridge and game tables! The pictures did not do this place justice. Very clean and beautiful!
