We stayed here for our annual family trip that our papaw hosts for his nine grandkids and spouses, who all live in different parts of the country. This was easily our best trip yet. The house was beautiful, spacious, and actually big enough for all of us to gather comfortably in the common areas, which made the whole weekend feel more like one big hangout than people separated in different hotel rooms.
We spent mornings and nights in the hot tub, cooked big meals together in the kitchen, and basically laughed, sang, danced, and cut up the whole weekend. It was exactly the kind of place that makes it easy for a big family to spend real time together.
When we went out, we had a great time around town too. We visited the horse track, tried our luck at the casino, walked around downtown, went hiking, and grabbed lunch out. Next year we’re planning to come back and finally do the bathhouses.
The hosts were great and very responsive when the hot tub needed to be reheated, which we appreciated. Everything else was smooth and well set up. The house had everything we needed, we could access all the spaces easily, and the little details like the extra towels for the hot tub and the outdoor grill were a nice touch. We definitely made good use of all the amenities.
Overall it was a perfect place for a big family trip, and we made some great memories here. We’d absolutely stay again and hope to next year on the same weekend!
