Gorgeous home perfect for large groups. Common area had so much space - open kitchen, dining and living room where just what we needed for our family gatherings.Loved the gorgeous view from the deck - just stunning!We also made good use of the grill, game room and hot tubs! Home was very clean and well maintained. Ample bedding, towels, etc. Kitchen very well stocked for preparing meals. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

We had an awesome stay! The home was beautiful and very clean! Lots of dishes and we enjoyed the double washer and dryer. We had one cold day and we cooked a lot and the upstairs was warm so the basement was pretty chilly since the thermostat is at the top of the steps on the main level so the people in the basement complained a little bit we had plenty of blankets and we moved all the people who are always hot when they sleep to the basement so in the end all were fine. The kids loved the hot tubs!
