An excellent choice for a getaway with family. The outdoor amenities were exceptional, from the fire pit to the pool and spas, seating areas, and relaxing in nature. The location was perfect for easy access to beautiful Shades State Park. The kitchen was small for 10 people but adequately stocked. The gaucho grille was not appropriate for our needs: difficult to manage the heat and the grille surface does not work for burgers, etc. A conventional gas, propane, or charcoal grill would provide more flexibility. Owner communication was very good before and during occupancy, with prompt responses. Overall, it was a very positive experience for our family.

Loved the remote location! Everyone took full advantage of the pool, hot tub, massage chairs, and sauna. The grill was very cool, we've nicer cooked on something like that before. We enjoyed the fire pit and view of the stars as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Gabe was a great host. Very communicative. We enjoyed the heated pool immensely! Turning the jets on is like riding the rapids. Many memories were made doing that. Everything we needed was right under one roof. The location is within feet of hiking trails or stay on the property and walk through the meadows down to a creek. We will be back. Thinking about a winter getaway.
