The house had great activities for our family. The game room was great (though we could never get the VR headset to work). We loved the ping pong table! There were some maintenance items that needed addressing, which were brought to the attention of the owners. Also, the house could probably use a good deep clean, and address the maintenance issues that were brought up. We gave the owners some ideas on how to really allow guests to arrive and feel relaxed vs having to run out to get basics (paper towels, hand soap, etc). Could use a refresh on clean, stain free towels in the primary bathroom as well as the bedding in the primary.

We had the best time at Crystal Creek Arcade House. The hosts had everything we needed and more-and communication from them was great! The stream outside the house was so relaxing to listen to and we spent a lot of time sitting outside in the beautiful nature that surrounded the house. Location was central and easy to get to restaurants and grocery store. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing vacation!

We couldn’t have found a better place to stay for a quick family getaway. From the game room to the awesome backyard , there were plenty of things to keep our young kids entertained. Great location too. There are a ton of trails with awesome waterfall views close by. Host were awesome and answered any questions in a timely manner. Would definitely book again.
