Reviews
Wonderful!
4.8/5 -
(28 traveler reviews)
Beautiful setting
We were there with our whole family, 11 adults and 15 children. It was roomy enough that we were not on top of each other. Enough separate sleeping areas that we did not disturb one another. Loved the big table in the board room - large enough for all to sit at the table at one time. Everyone loved the pool. Was a little chilly and windy, so were not out side much, but would have had plenty of room. So many different areas to be in, so everyone did not have to be doing the same thing at the same time. Very relaxing. Have many wonderful memories.
Family Weekend
The visit was planned by my Mother sadly she passed before the visit but we knew she would want us on go and so we did whathe a great place to get your family together at we had a blast thank you Ted Davenport for providing a great place for everybody to gather
Spacious home with amenities for large groups
Ted and his wife were wonderful to work with, very reliable and returned any request in a timely manner. Our group of 14 had more than enough room with private bedrooms and baths for each of the 7 couples. We loved the indoor pool, theater room with over 100 DVDs, back patio and huge yard for lawn games and seating for outdoor conversations, and the huge indoor dining table for all of us and then some. A Minor electrical problem and a gas grill that didn't heat were the only weekend drawbacks, but all had a wonderful time at this unique and well appointed property.
Very nice!
Great hosts! The owners went out of their way to accommodate my family and our needs. The home isn't fancy, but it's warm and inviting and clean. A little pricey given the location, but overall good experience. 😊
Great property!
We had a wonderful time staying in this spacious home. We lived the amenities and the indoor pool as it rained most of our stay. Thanks for a wonderful time. Ted was wonderful to work with and made sure we had what we needed. Great time!
Summer Getaway 2016
We spent the weekend of July 4th at this awesome house! With a party of 37 including kids, it was just the right size to accommodate all of us comfortably.
Some of the highlights of the property were proper beds for all of us, enough bathrooms so that no one had to wait in line, the outdoor grounds were perfect for games like soccer, badminton, cricket and volleyball. The conference/dining room with the incredibly large size table was excellent for the mealtimes and watching Euro cup soccer together! The pool was one of the main attractions for the kids, who used it extensively. It being indoors, they could jump in at any time of the day and also when it was raining outside. Plenty of towels and linens were provided. Only one drawback, which I had already mentioned to Ted was that considering the size of the house and the large number of heads it could accommodate, a regular size cook top would be very convenient. We did use the griddle but it would not hold large pots for so many and didn't get that much heated to get anything to boil and cook fast. We did manage with the double oven. but a regular stove would make it just perfect. The nearby Walmart was very convenient.
Overall, we were very satisfied with the property and will definitely go back next year.
