We had the pleasure of staying in this home for a week, and would DEFINATELY recommend it to anyone looking for a home-away-from home. The house was awesome, but let me start with the owners first.
We felt very lucky to have them right next door, and they made themselves available numerous times for anything we needed, from borrowing their lawn chairs for a trip to the lake to coming over and showing me how to turn the oven on (even though it interrupted their own dinnertime!!). Prior to arriving I had made numerous calls to them and always got an immediate response to whatever question I had. We brought our labrador on vacation with us, and she rally enjoyed their new puppy tremendously - they had a great time playing in the yard together! It felt like we had family members right next door.
The house was perfect. It was spotless - extremely clean and well-supplied with linens, toiletry items, and everything you would need to feel at home. We had a large group of family members from different parts of the country who had come to town for the Marathon, and the accommodations could not have been better. The home has two master bedrooms, with one being separate from the main living area which offered complete quiet and privacy for those retiring early. All of the beds were very comfortable, and each room had plenty of closet space, dressers, and son on. The family room was spacious and cozy, and the dining room sat 7 comfortably, making for great family time at each meal. The kitchen was large, allowing for lots of group cooking and visiting! Also of note is the great location - it felt like we were 10 minutes from EVERYTHING! The lake, restaurants, casinos, groceries, and gas were literally minutes away - yet the street the home is on is quiet and beautiful with friendly people all around it.
This is a perfect vacation rental and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a house that feels like home from the minute you walk in. Thanks for making it the perfect week for our very large family!
