About this property

Not a Resort. Not a Rental. Something Better…

You’ve been meaning to slow down. Reconnect. Get the family in the same place — without the screens, the schedules, the stress.

But somehow every trip ends up being more work than rest.

The rental looks great in photos… until it’s not.
The kids are bored. The adults are overwhelmed. You spend more time navigating logistics than making memories.

That’s why we built Jerob’s Place.
Five acres of private joy — recently renovated and upgraded with families in mind:
– A swim spa and pool just for your crew
– A movie room with Love Sacs and surround sound
– A scavenger hunt that leads to a real hidden room
– King’s Fortress playground with soft AstroTurf for wild, barefoot fun
– A zero-gravity massage chair when it’s your turn to recharge

At night, circle up at the custom-lit firepit.
Tell ghost stories. Share old memories.
Or just let the kids load up s’mores while the stars come out.
Every detail — from the sidewalks to the toy closets to the Curious George room — was reimagined to create ease, delight, and connection.
Yes, even your pets are welcome.

Spots fill fast, especially for reunions and holidays.
Reserve your stay now — and give your people a trip they’ll talk about for years.

Jerob's Place hosted by Comfy Spots Vacation Rentals.
Pets are allowed to come with you on your get-away. The pet fee is $100 per pet.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Hampton

Host profile image
Jerob's Place is rightly named as it was home to a very special young man who against all odds: jumps, runs and has spent years playing on the Kings Fortress and learning to swim in the pool. He is now able to not only jump but to get around well enough to live in a home where he has to navigate his world at much a higher level.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in its ability to be enjoyed by a honeymoon couple or a family with multi generations sharing a special vacation., anniversary, birthday etc

What makes this property unique

Playground extra large with interactive unique giant mountain roller and circular slide for all ages. Playground sets on a multilevel shaded area of AstroTurf making it safe for all ages to enjoy.

Swim spa is able to be a great place to start your day with a brisk exercise routine or enjoy the bubbles relaxing as a family in the evening. Large enough for some to be swimming and others relaxing.

Pool is extra large with many areas to sit within pool which again is for all ages and swim level. Pool was built with safety in mind since it was utilized by a non swimming handicap child who required shallow safety no matter where in the pool he was.

Grounds are covered by trees throughout and incredible secluded from the world around including neighborhood.

***NO SWIMMING in the marsh.

Home has large rooms with plenty of space to easily house many and not feel overcrowded. Rooms are decorated with unique themes.
