Everything was in tiptop condition. Anything that was needed was provided down to soaps, shampoos Kleenex, trash bags everything that would make our stay easier and more comfortable.
We really enjoyed our stay- the house was clean and bright with modern decor and comfortable bedding. The accommodations were perfect. Love that the kitchen is labeled. 4-5 people were able to prepare a meal simultaneously.
We stayed here for Thanksgiving to fit our family of 13. It was perfect! The kitchen was huge and well stocked and plenty of beds and space for adults and teens. The teens loved the foosball and ping pong tables. All the furnishings were comfortable. The surrounding property was beautiful and included a scenic hiking trail to explore it. Very secluded and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again. I’m
We had a big group to enjoy the dragon/mountains. Super spacious house, large kitchen area, plenty of areas to rest and hang. Little pond in the bottom of the hill to jump in during a hot day (fish are gonna nibble lol). The driveway is steep so keep that in mind for trailers or cars with limited traction. We didn’t have a problem, just had to be mindful of the trailer cleaning the change of slope of the driveway.
Our family of 13 (my husband & I and our 2 adult children, son in love, daughter in love and 6 grandchildren plus a bonus grandchild) stayed in this absolutely beautiful home. The home is gorgeous and was perfect for our family. It was fully stocked with coffee, filters, very nice shampoos, conditioners, body wash, the beds were so super comfy. We highly recommended this beautiful home. The staff were so friendly and we didn’t have any problems during our stay. 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. 5 bathrooms total. 10/10 recommend.
We stayed at this property for our family Thanksgiving vacation this year. I cannot recommend this place enough. Mrs. Adrienne, property owner, went above and beyond for me and my family. The first night we arrived, the tv would not work. She came as soon as she could and resolved the issue. She also brought over some extra equipment to help me with my mother and grandmother who are in a wheelchair / use a walker. The property / house was beautiful. Her kindness will not be forgotten. If you’re looking for a hidden gem, getaway house away from the busy towns - this is it.
