The house was clean & offered enough room for 9 people to sleep & eat. We had a dinner for everyone in the dining room one evening & we had no problem fitting around the table. The long driveway that circles the house allowed us to unload groceries in the back near the kitchen & park several vehicles. The area around the house allowed us to go for walks & stay on the property. We had an enjoyable stay.

Insurance Housing

Cynthia was a pleasure to work. We needed to relocate a family who was displaced from their home and this rental was a perfect home away from home for them. Thank you!

Poor

Although we thought the property was stepping back in time, we realized the property was neglected. First, NO towels in bathrooms, no toaster, the dish washer did not work & some of the TVs in bedrooms did not work. I would not stay there again.

Oh my goodness Maggi, I am absolutely shocked. We have never had anyone disappointed before. 1. We do not put towels in the bathrooms. A guest knows they are clean when they find them in the linen closet. 2. We do not currently have a toaster, but if you had communicated that you needed one we would have had one delivered to you with a smile. 3. I feel like you may not know how to use the dishwasher because it is less than a year old and we have never had trouble with it. I am so sorry the tv’s were not working. Again if you had communicated this to me, we would have had someone there taking care of the issue. Again I have never had this complaint. I so wish you would have communicated your problems. We are just three southern sisters aiming to provide a clean comfortable home for our guests. Best wishes to you and your family.

Great Place for large families.

We had one of the best Thanksgiving Dinners ever. The floor plan was ideal to have groups in different rooms. The 4 bathrooms was a must for our group. We would consider this home again in the future.

Large, quiet and secluded property

Large, comfortable and fun home and property offering privacy and within driving distance of varied outdoor opportunities. The long tree lined drive is a great feature. As are the large porches. There was mention of the garage in the listing but it was locked. I would have pulled in to keep the bikes out of the rain without having to unload the bike rack but it wasn’t a big deal.
