Steve, thank you for trusting us with your golf weekend at Paradise Gardens! Our cleaning team works extremely hard to leave the homes cleaned, sanitized, and spotless for all our guests. We appreciate you recognizing their hard work and how much we strive to stock/prep our homes for the perfect "home away from home" experience. We hope to see you again in the future!
Our family gathered from around the country and we had private space for those who needed a break and lots of fun with all the choices in the common areas. Everyone loved it and wants to come back again for a longer stay soon.

Daryl, we appreciate your feedback! The spacious grounds both indoors and outdoors at Paradise Gardens is of the many features we take pride in. We love that everyone enjoyed their stay and made full use of our amenities. The pool, theater room and S'mores by the fire pit sound like an amazing combination - in that specific order! We hope to see you again soon. Take care.
We stayed here with our extended family. The pool was perfect, the house was excellent for our needs. It was quiet, at the end of a cul-de-sac and a large driveway. Thank you for having us!

Thank you, Lisa & Jeff! We appreciate your feedback and loved the "Quarantine Oasis" reference. Thank you for trusting us with your stay!
Our family of 11 adults, 3 children and 4 babies had a great time. Plenty of bedroom and bathroom space. The house is on a very private cul-de-sac and beautiful inside and out. It was well stocked with paper products, dishware and towels. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and the children’s toys in the basement and the peaceful garden area!

It’s wonderful to know the space, privacy, and amenities helped make your stay relaxing and fun. We love that you enjoyed everything from the hot tub and pool table to the toys and peaceful garden area—those touches are there for exactly that reason! You were a joy to host, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime.

We spent 5 days at Paradise Gardens and it was lovely. Extremely clean house, pool and hot tub was nice. Loved the theatre room! And everything was thought of—lots of supplies and extra pillows, etc. in the closets. Hot tub was a little green, but we still enjoyed it in the evenings.

Thank you, Amanda! We're thrilled you had a blast with your loved ones at Paradise Gardens. The hot tub and theater room are definitely one of our favorite combos - especially to end long days of fun in the pool. Thanks for being great guests, we hope you'll return soon!
Paradise Gardens was true to its name-Paradise! It felt like our own private resort-beautiful home and property. The wonderful home had plenty of space to spread out but also great common areas to come together for meals and fun. The pool, hot tub, and theater room were the big hits for all ages. Robb and Jackie were very attentive to our needs. Great way to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary -thanks so much!!

Jane, thank you for trusting us with your stay! It's our pleasure to have been a part of your 50th anniversary - we're thrilled Paradise Gardens provided you with such an incredible "resort-like" experience for your special weekend. We love that everyone felt well accommodated and made full use of the amenities. We appreciate you being great guests and hope to see you again soon! Thanks again!
My entire family loved this home. It has so much room for everyone and the outdoor space cannot be beat. The backyard is completely private so when you are enjoying the pool, hot tub, and beautiful, woodsy area, you cannot see anybody. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were not stingy about anything (dishwasher pods, detergent, etc.) We will book again.
We stayed at this property with a group of friends and it was exactly as described. The house is very large with a lot of room to spread out if needed. The basement is a perfect space for entertaining as well! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for meals and the large number of beds were comfortable. This would be a great property in the summer based on the amazing pool, patio, pond, and garden areas behind the house!! Great get away!

The property in person was more beautiful than the pictures! The landscape, although a lot cooler during the fall weather was still peaceful and serene. The home was spacious and felt cozy all at the same time. The owner and property manager were very friendly and prompt with questions. We will definitely be back in the warmer season.
