We stayed a long weekend for our annual Four Sisters & Spouses get- together. Everything is exactly as described, if not better. The house is enormous with plenty of room for everyone to spread out along with more intimate spaces for quiet time. Both check-in and checkout were smooth, mainly because the owner has timely and clear communication. As a family we’ve been vacationing for 15 years- this was by far the most seamless experience at the most lovely home. Warmly,Dr. Cook & family
This is our second time at this property. The grandkids have a great time in the pool and visiting the animals on the farm. Great house plenty of room for all
This is my family second time returning to Shamuir property. The house is beautiful and the property is amazing; great place for a family getaway and Shamuir is a great host, very clear and open in communication.
The property and setting are beautiful. It was the perfect place for my large family to gather.

Thank you for staying with us Blair and your understanding. We addressed some of the issues you faced and would be happy to welcome you back.
Thanks. Shamiur
We had an amazing time at this house and property. Everything was perfect, the pool, kitchen, rooms etc. Great communication with the host and instructions were easy to follow. I would definitely rent this house again.
My friends and I enjoyed this property for our weekend getaway / reunion. There were plenty of places to sleep and the property had plenty of room and places to hangout outside. Thanks!
My family and I had a great time staying here. The house is beautiful and spacious enough for our group of 9 to stay comfortably. The pool was a bit cold and unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate much but we had plenty to do.
We drove all the way from Alabama’s Gulf Coast for a 4-night stay. The house was beautiful and spacious, just perfect for our family and the family we traveled with. The host was helpful with our questions as to how to best get into NYC…not sure if we’d have figured it out without him! W
Shamir's property was just what we were looking for. A house with a beautiful pool and enough space to accommodate our family of 12 comfortably which it succeeded. We had children with us and the fact that it had an area with farm animals and playground was a bonus. The pool was beautifully maintained and the house was clean and the rooms were spacious.
I rented the property for my family and we really enjoyed ourselves. The communication with the owner and check process was great. The pool was a big hit for the kids. The bon fires was a huge plus.
We attended a wedding at Bear Creek and stayed here with our family. Fantastic location, less than a mile from the facility. Great house. Very clean and plenty of space for everyone to get ready. The farm caretaker was very friendly and showed the kids around the animals which was a great treat. Would recommend anyone attending an event at Bear Crewk stay here
Amazing clean home with plenty of space for us. Gym, kitchen, pool and tennis court exceeded expectations. Animals on adjacent property were slightly louder than expected but cute addition to the ambiance.

Thank you for staying with us and the lovely comments. You were the ideal guests, who took care of the house as if it is their own. We hope to have you back again.
Had a great time at the house! The tennis court, pool, and house were all in great condition and as pictured. We used the tennis court a lot which was in good shape. The house is spacious and we had no problem fitting 12 people. No one had to sleep on the sofa beds which didn't feel as comfortable when sitting on them. Communication with the host was great as well. Thanks and hope to be back!
This is a beautiful property with amenities that make it truly special - pool, children's playset, tennis court with basketball hoop, access to farm animals, adult only weight room, table tennis table. The house is well maintained, spacious and very comfortable for a large group. Communications with the owner were excellent, informative, and responsive. We had a family group of 9 adults and two children spanning 4 generations who were attending a wedding nearby. This house was perfect for us.
The owner and his sons were at the house to greet us . He was very courteous. The house is huge and along with the pool made for a great stay. John the caretaker was great with the grandkids showing them the goats chickens and dogs. Would definitely rent this house again
Overall, our stay was beautiful and the home was well-suited to our group size. The pool and house were very clean, the layout was open and inviting, the kitchen was spacious, and we enjoyed using the fire pit on several evenings.A few areas could be improved: the check-in instructions were sent later than expected, the basement had a persistent odor due to limited airflow, and the outdoor hammock advertised was not available, which was disappointing.That said, we still had a wonderful time and appreciated the accommodations!
