Great Stay

We had a great time, the hosts were helpful and communicated with us with any questions that came up. We had a house full of cousins and there was so much space everyone was able to have a good nights sleep in a comfy bed. It is close to the hot pools and lots of other Lava activities, we plan on booking with this location again in the future.

Great spot for family friends to relax

Many beds and bedrooms space to accommodate larger group. The BBQ on the deck worked well, kitchen had everything we needed to cook big family style dinners. A short distance to walk to bars, brewery and hiking trails. Great time in a fun town.

Great summer stay

Great views, lots of beds, kitchen is a little small for hosting that many people. I think it would be better in the summer when you could enjoy the great porch.

Awesomeness

Awesome property!!! We were so excited to find a place that allows a large number of people!We loved that the baby grandkids were able to sleep on one floor/level while other children made a lot of noise on a different floor. The sound/noise was not heard by the babies. The grandkids LOVED the slide. The deck off the back of the house was an perfect place to gather for meals, games and laughter.(again the noise did not bother those that were sleeping.) Plenty of space/beds for a crowd. A.c. in the bedroom(s) was an added bonus.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this location!! Sad there is a limited number of people (20) allowed to stay as our extended family continues to grow.

Great Location!

Great house- just as advertised, with plenty of space for our entire family. The deck and backyard are amazing and where we spent the majority of our time when we weren’t out exploring the town. The house was walking distance to town and very convenient and safe. Host was very communicative and made the whole process very easy. Would definitely stay again

Awesome family reunion!

We loved this place! There was plenty of room for the kids to spread out and play outside. And it had seating for the adults to hang out and visit. We loved the firepit and beautiful views from the patio. The location is great and the home is lovely. We all want to reschedule this property for next year's reunion too! Thanks, Lauranna for being such a great host :)

Fun Getaway

We needed someplace fun but close enough for easy travel for various members of our family and this was perfect! Location was ideal for walking to restaurants and shops and the park for pickle ball. We loved that we could walk to everything! Nice rooms and nice set up for all our family. The yard was great and the games provided were used and enjoyed. two nice trees to hang a hammock! Loved the fire pit but it would of been nice to know that wood is not provided so you can plan for that. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals. One of the best perks of this place was the convenience of being able to leave without a big list of to dos! This place was great!

Great location, alot of room/beds

The place was great! A few small/minor details would have made it even better. The address that was sent to us did not work with google maps. We went when there was snow on the ground, the walks were slippery, not shoveled. There were salt and pepper shakers, but no salt or pepper in them. Again these were minor issues. The place was great and would stay again for sure.

Great Location

We had a nice time at this location. We spent a good amount of time in the yard and deck. Our grandkids especially liked the playground set. There were plenty of bedrooms for our group. We were disappointed with the bathroom situation. The basement bathroom is very small and you have to enter the sleeping area to get to the bathroom. The kitchen had what we needed but it is very small. We enjoyed eating outside on the large table on the deck. The beds were average. Some were better than others. There is plenty of comfortable seating and places to visit. Overall I would rate it 4.5
