Even Better than the Pictures
The trip was absolutely amazing. It's a beautiful property. While the listing pictures are beautiful, we were all stunned when seeing the home, surrounding land, and gymnasium! They have everything you could need. Best place I've stayed in!

Good time had by all.
I’m glad I am a carpenter. Because I had to adjust about all the bifold doors because they wouldn’t open or close very well because of new carpeting. if I wouldn’t have done that, they probably would have been ruined by the end of the stay. Also took a little plastic tack off of the bottom of the door, going into the bedroom on the first floor. It was making an arc on the carpeting which would have worn the carpeting real fast.week Also fixed one of the porch 45° angle.

Perfect small town getaway!
We loved the location and setting of this property. The town is wonderful with a few restaurants and great parks! The home itself had a wonderful layout with plenty of comfortable beds, lounge spaces and eating/seating. We loved the variety of activities, especially the pool, pickle ball, basketball and ping pong table. The large island in the kitchen made feeding 11 grandchildren easier! :) The pool was heated 🙌 it was very private and beautiful. We had 21 people and no one felt cramped all week. We loved the 3(!) washers and dryers but the dryers took several cycles to actually dry. The pool was a bit dirty upon arrival but the host came and cleaned/shocked it and it was fine. Overall we loved it and would love to come back again!

Amazing getaway
We had an amazing 2 days getaway with our friends and family! Our almost 5 hour drive to this like in a fairytale house location was so worth it. Very quite place, mesmerizing view from the balcony and relaxing beach style feeling from the pool. The house was clean and comfortable with all the amenities you need to make your stay feel lime home. Adults enjoyed the pool, but the cherry on the top was the huge, modern gym, were kids were having a blast! Actually an amazing addition along with all the other amenities the house provided. Would definitely recommand this owners and the house to anyone who is looking for a top vacation with a twist of home comfy feeling!

Rinker Family Christmas 2023
Lots of opportunities for all kinds of activities such as basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, ping pong, pool, and hot tub were enjoyed. There was Plenty of room for seating to gather for games of all kinds, for visiting, and for meals or just relaxing. We didn’t leave the property except to take a walk in the park next door and go to church which is really close too. A great place anyone would enjoy.

So much space...Loved the gym!
There was so much space and we loved the gym. We got lucky with weather and the kids ran around outside some too. We wanted to try the fireman's pole, but we didn't want to try it in front of the "littles" and we forgot, so only one used it. So cool.. We had smores at the fire-ring. They loved the gym. we played basket ball and volleyball. The Garage/room by the gym was perfect when we wanted to see the action in the gym, but keep the littlest out from underfoot. The loft was also amazing. We loved that there was 3 Christmas trees on the property. Also, nice was the 3 refrigerators. We made use of the grill one day and the hot tub. There were so many tables. These came in handy for our making Christmas ornaments and other crafts. There was no shortage of seating on any level. The recliners and sectional were comfortable. Comfortable beds. The 3 and 4 year old, found the cement fox in the tree line and made "Band-Aids" out of leaves for it's "boo-boos". That was a fun thing...so you could have a "fox hunt" for the little ones. They were tickled and had to go and tell it "bye" before they left. The home was well equipped. We also liked that it had a regular coffee maker and Keurig. We played some of the games as well.. One of the 10 year olds had a birthday while we were there. He sent me a video later, with a couple of pictures from our trip, that said, "thanks for the happiest day of my life". It really was nice. The gym was unforgettable. One for the books.

Large family celebration
Celebrated Christmas together with 9 of 12 siblings attending and many spouses. Great location (easy walk to town), loved the gym to play Pickleball and pool. Enjoyed the hot tub, large kitchen, and just a great space for all of us to gather. The bathroom locations are a little tricky, but it all worked just fine. Great place!

The ultimate All-In-One bachelor party venue
Check in was very simple. The property itself was nothing short of incredible. We hosted our friend’s bachelor party and had two amazing days of basketball, dodgeball, and pool time. More than enough space and beds for everyone inside. Tailspin brewery is roughly 15 minutes away from the property and had very good drinks and atmosphere. 10/10 recommend
