Awesome Family Spot - Great Experience

Great house for a getaway

We had a reunion with college friends and our families at this property, and it was wonderful! House was very clean when we checked in and plenty of space for our big group. The kids loved the playground, basketball/pickleball court, and open space for running around.

Beautiful weekend with family

The house was wonderful for a large family gathering. Since we had beautiful weather, we really enjoyed the outdoor space as well, the deck, yard and children's play area were wonderful. We would definitely recommend this house for a large group and would love to come back again. Our cell service was very spotty, so you really were disconnected from the world for a few days.

House was nicer than we expected!

This was a great place to stay for the weekend. The pictures didn’t show the pool table and ping-pong table, so that was an extra. The house is very big and spacious, perfect for a large group! There’s a Pickleball net on the basketball court. You have to bring your own Pickleball equipment though. It has a gas fire place. The host was a little slow to respond when we first booked but got us all taken care of during our stay when we had questions.

New Years Getaway

We had a wonderful time! Plenty of room for a great family weekend. Lots of fun in the game room and doing puzzles and game playing. We did miss a tv mostly because we love football! The Wi-fi wasn’t really good for such a large group…. but it was lots of fun to just enjoy the time together! Thanks for a great weekend!

Better in person

We had our women's retreat here and it was a wonderful weekend. The house was the perfect place to connect and refresh. The great room and kitchen set up was perfect for a large group to be able to be together. The rooms were all comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed. It was colder so we weren't able to use the beautiful outdoor space but we did take a walk around the area.

Great for extended family vacation

24 total people. Beautiful rooms, gathering spaces, and yard. Quiet surroundings delivered. Very fast responses before and during our stay. Plenty of parking. Very grateful for the big fridge in the garage to supplement, especially if you plan on cooking meals the whole week for your group. The kitchen could use some bigger pots to accommodate the large group size that the house sleeps, or bring your own.

Great Friend Getaway

We were a group of 4 families with 18 children between us all, and we had a great time relaxing, exploring, and playing games! The agent helped us through an issue with the home's HVAC and the space was perfect for us all to spread out and enjoy time together! It was quiet and secluded. Beds and bedrooms were comfortable, and the unpictured garage/game space was a bonus for us with a second fridge and game tables! The pictures did not do this place justice. Very clean and beautiful!

Great location and house !

I’m overall a great stay ! Kitchen and house was well equipped. The listing did not mention no alcohol and the only time we were informed was 3 days prior to check in. It should be noted that no alcohol is allowed (other than wine) on the listing. It would have nice to have the ability to adjust the heat as some of our guests bedrooms were cold and there was no ability to turn up the heat. The WiFi was also weak which was ok for steaming a movie on a projector but didn’t not allow for many guests to logged on and multiple users having access.

Lots of space and peace & quiet

This is a beautiful home with lots of space and big rooms. This worked really well for our group. We had a lot of co-workers coming together to plan for the year and we each brought all our families. This house was a great size for us with plenty of room to spread out and for the kids to have places to play. So many good things to say about this rental! It was so great! There is only one downside we experienced and that was the reliability of the internet. That made a few things difficult for us in some of our work meetings, so we had to adjust. Again, this was a fantastic place for us!

Family gathering

The house was stunning, clean and roomy enough for all of us. We had a wonderful time. One issue we experienced was after a power outage the thermostat did not reset. So we spent one night without heat downstairs. Not too bad, but the thermostats are locked, so we were helpless to do anything until we stumbled upon the key. Reaching out to the owner was a slow, tedious process that morning.

Friendsgiving Year 4

The pictures do not do justice to this home. This home is massive and gorgeous. PLENTY of space for our families to have our annual Friendsgiving. The kids could play with no one getting under anyones feet. The water pressure in the showers were a little light however expected on a well. The outside area is wonderful for adults and children alike, plenty of space to congregate. Not a complaint but we had to laugh, the kitchen counters, cabinets and stove are extremely tall. The stove was almost to my shoulders and I am 5'6". There is a small stool however we used our coolers to stand tall enough to use it. It was definitely our joke for the weekend. Overall loved it and will be returning!
