Sandra, a kitchen that actually has what you need is something we fuss over, so it's good to hear it held up for a big family cook. We stock it for real meals, not just coffee and cereal, and the quiet out there is the other half of why folks book this house for gatherings. Next time, bring the group for a slower weekend and plan one supper outside after the sun drops. There's room for everybody, and the porch is the best seat on the whole property. Come back and see us and your next stay is 10% off, as it is for all our returning guests. Sincerely, Morgan, Director of Operations.

Misti, hearing that the questions got answered fast is the part I'm proudest of, because that's the piece guests usually have to chase somewhere else. Glad the little house won you over too. It's a favorite of ours for exactly the reason you said, it just feels right the minute you walk in. Next time you're out this way, take a morning to sit on the porch with coffee before the day gets going, then head over to the resort side and walk the trails when the light is still soft. We'd love to have you back. Come back and see us and your next stay is 10% off, as it is for all our returning guests. Sincerely, Morgan, Director of Operations.

This place was really great. Very thoughtfully laid out for a couples’ weekend or bachelorette trip. (There are six bedrooms in the main house and 2 in the pool house. The backyard has everything you’d want, we spent lots of time in the pool. And the pickleball court is something you don’t see every day and so cool for folks that love the game. We had a blast and would recommend.

Jennifer, that pickleball court gets a reaction every time, and it sounds like your group put it to good use between rounds in the pool. Eight bedrooms across the main house and pool house means nobody fights over space, which is exactly why we set it up that way for weekends like yours. Next time, get the fire pit going after dark once the water cools off. It is the best seat on the property, and the stars out here earn their reputation. Come see us again. Whenever you are ready for the next trip, 10% off is waiting for you as a returning guest. Sincerely, Morgan, Director of Operations.

Great layout/location, major amenity failures-We booked this 3-night multi-family trip for the pool and layout. While the location is great, parking is plentiful, and the space accommodated our group well, the experience fell far below expectations for a premium rental.The pool—our main reason for booking—was beyond frustrating. Within 10 minutes of check-in, we reported severe cloudiness (couldn't see the bottom). We were told it was safe, but guests experienced severe eye burning-“there’s jalapeños in my eyes!” Additionally, we had no hot water in the majority of the main house for our entire stay, the ice maker was broken, the fridge had mold under the glass shelves, and air vents were caked in dust.Photos were inaccurate: the built-in grill was replaced by a small standalone unit (difficult for large groups), and the pool umbrella was missing.Management was responsive and sent workers daily(including removing a wasp nest at check-in). However, constant worker visits disrupted our privacy without fixing the main issues. Issues seemed known beforehand, as we received a text right before check-in about shower maintenance and comments were made about pool trouble.Instead of enjoying our 11 AM checkout, our group left by 9 AM because everyone was ready to go. We were disappointed by the lack of ownership and minimal financial adjustment for a vacation spent managing house problems. We hope management updates photos and fixes the pool and plumbing.

Jonna, you booked that house for the pool and three days in you still couldn't see the bottom of it. That is a miss, plain and simple, and cold showers through most of the main house on top of it turned your trip into something you had to manage instead of enjoy. The pool is now on a rebalanced chemical program with readings logged and verified daily before anyone checks in, the main house water heater has been replaced, and refrigerator shelving, vents, and the ice maker are on the turnover checklist now. New listing photos are being shot this month so the grill and patio you see are the ones waiting for you. Bring the whole group back when that water runs clear. You are a returning guest now, which means 10% off your next stay with us. Sincerely, Morgan, Director of Operations.

The main house was clean, beautiful, and has a great layout for large groups / families. The pickleball court & equipment was well-maintained and fun. However, the pool was out of order and filthy for the entirety of our stay, even though we reported the issue the morning after we arrived. No efforts were made to repair the issue or have anyone come look at it. The pool was a big draw for us choosing this property, and one of the reasons we were willing to pay over 1500/night for it. So it was a big disappointment to not have any accommodations made for that. We also were unable to use the guest house, because it had a weird/musty smell when we arrived. We were able to comfortably fit our whole group in the main house though, so that wasn’t a huge issue for us. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it at the price we paid (almost 1700/night) — without the pool, it’s priced way too high. But if a pool isn’t a must-have for your stay, then the main house is a perfectly nice option.

Thank you Chrissie for your feedback. We’re very glad to hear you enjoyed the main house, the layout for your group, and the pickleball amenities, those are some of our favorite features as well. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the pool and the guest house. We understand how disappointing it must have been, especially since the pool was an important part of your decision to book. This is not the level of service or experience we aim to provide. Your feedback has been shared with our team so we can address these concerns more promptly and thoroughly moving forward. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future and provide the full experience our guests expect and deserve.

It worked well for the family reunion. The second bedroom in the pool house is very small with 2 twin beds with barely enough room to walk between them. It would work well for 2 small children. We did miss closets in the new part of the house. It would have been nice to have at least wall pegs to hang some clothes. Over all we had a great time enjoying the hot tub and the pickle ball court.
