Beautiful home with plenty of room for families or groups with pockets for quiet time, if needed. Well equipped and THE cleanest home we've stayed in. This is our second stay and completely enjoyable.
Stayed here in preparation for a wedding in Spanish Fork. My family was all comfortable and there was plenty of room to spread out. The kids found the toys and activities engaging and helped to keep them occupied while we prepared. The two kitchens were nice. Susan had everything we needed. I would stay again!
We stay here very year for a cheer competition and it is always looked forward to. The place is nice because it still allows everyone to have space from the rest of the group if needed but there is also space for everyone to congregate together. Kitchens are stocked well and beds are comphy. It’s a great place to stay.
It is a beautiful home with an enclosed back yard for the children to play. With two kitchens we had plenty of refrigerator and freezer space for our large group. We even used both kitchens to prepare some of our meals using both stoves. The only drawback was not having pantry space to put our food. We found room for it in the rec room and a bedroom closet. The host is very friendly and responsive to our needs.
We had a great time and where able to easily accommodate the whole family all 21 of us. AC could have been a bit cooler, but everything else was amazing. The owner even let us borrow a cooler. Would come back again.
Our large family group throughly enjoyed our stay at this island themed retreat. Tucked away in a neighborhood but close to all conveniences and freeway entrance made this home accessible to all our needs and activities. Susan is an ideal host, greeting us with a tray of warm banana and pumpkin bread. Great communication. Clean home, fun exercise and game room was a big hit with the kids, comfortable beds And ….two kitchens! met all our needs and then some. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We hope to return again.
We had a family reunion and with about 40 people coming and going, it was a great central location.
The 9 bedrooms really helped!
The host was very helpful and welcoming.
We would recommend this home.
Property was wonderful. Grandkids loved the wide variety of toys and the fun theme rooms. Lots of space for everyone. We had 12 adults and 11 kids and everyone had enough room. Host was very easy to work with and very communicative. Would stay here again.
This house was perfect for our multi generational girls retreat. Plenty of rooms, beds, toys, tables, etc. We had a lovely time and plan to come again next year!
We came for a cheerleading competition at UCCU. We had 7 families with kids ages 8-11. The place was laid out perfect, the host was wonderful and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. We will definitely stay there again if we are ever in the area again. My only complaint is it needs better kitchen knives for cooking.
We loved staying here. It was exactly what was needed for our family of 27 with plenty room for sleeping and meals. Access to the freeway is quick to get around. Although it’s an older home, there have been many upgrades making it comfortable. It was also reasonably priced.
The property felt private and was close to the interstate, mall, and any activity you could want. The home was clean and the property manager was very friendly and close by if we needed anything. We went for a work retreat and made a request to have HDMI cables avalible. Upon arrival, they were hooked up and waiting for us. This property is very family-friendly and has multiple entrances/kitchens so you can still have a private space with a large group.
We had a wonderful time at the place. We got married and needed a place to host both our families and we got exactly what we needed. The host was incredible responsive and on top of any request! Thank you!!
We rented this home so that our whole family of 21 people could stay together for our son's wedding. It was wonderful. There were plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. It was clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. The kids especially loved all the many toys. Susan was a very kind host and was very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this place.
Very clean, lots of space, would repeat for sure. Lots of space for kids to play and room for adults to socialize. Plenty of room for all family to eat. Church is next door! Susan was fabulous and a wonderful host!
This was a great place for our 20+ extended family gathering. Room for everyone. Close to many activities. Communication from the host, Susan, was great. Very friendly and helpful. Responded to messages in a reasonable time.
Our daughter got married we had family in from Belgium, North Carolina, Kansas City, Oregon and Idaho.
We loved it as we were all together in the same place, the 13 cousins had a blast inside and out and the grown up’s were able to visit and play games also had a pickle ball and a basketball court.
Susan the owner was quick to answer any questions.
The house doesnt look huge from the outside, but it has 9 bedrooms and lots of beds, two living areas and two kitchens with a huge dining area. We gathered our family from several states to stay with us for our daughters wedding. It was so much fun. Cousins had plenty of space for board games and two separate areas to watch movies. The host was lives gave us a tour when we got there. She was thorough and honest, and super accomodating. She really made it feel like we were staying at a family's house. I had a 3 year old nephew there who was entertained the whole time by the toys she has available for use at the house. My entire family was impressed with the set up here.
We had a wedding to attend and family coming from all over. It was the perfect place for 30 of us to stay all together . Super close to everything! Everything we needed was with in 8 minutes. Susan was wonderful and quick to respond. Very accommodating to our schedule. There were so many games and toys, the kids had a great playing the pac man and ping pong. The Turf in the Backyard was wonderful. The bathrooms could have been a little cleaner (toilet and sink area) But overall it was a wonderful place, we would definitely stay there again! Susan made yummy bread and left treats for us. We were very pleased with the amount of space and the house, location. There were a couple of things that were broken and Susan mention that they were in the works to get fixed, nothing that affected our stay too much. Book today, you won’t regret it!
We rented this house for our whole family (over 20 people) for my son’s wedding in Orem. I was a little skeptical at first because the house looks small from the pictures. However, it was a great place to stay. SO much room inside and so many bedrooms. There are two full kitchens and dining rooms and several bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable. We had several young children who enjoyed playing on the swing set in the backyard and also playing with the MANY toys and games that were in the house. We have stayed at several VRBO homes in the past, but I have to say, this is the best stocked home we have ever stayed in. From pack-n- plays to high chairs to shampoo and conditioner… they have it all. Susan, the hostess, even left a large, lovely welcome basket with treats and a fresh pineapple that everyone loved. She is so kind and so easy to work with. We left a few things and she offered to send them to us. We felt very lucky to have found this place. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. I would highly recommend.
Very clean, host was amazing & responded quickly when we had dumb questions. She brought us home made apricot bread, which was so yummy! Enough for 25 ladies. Nice yard. Upstairs kitchen has everything needed. So nice to have 2 kitchens. Plenty of parking.
My growing family including adult children with their little children met at the property for the events surrounding my daughter's marriage. The home was just right for our large family. The rooms are clean, well kept, and tastefully decorated in a Hawaiian/polynesian theme. Our host was gracious and helpful. One of the families suggested we rent again this summer for a family reunion.
This property was the perfect spot for our family reunion! Everyone had a bed (not a spot on the couch) which was an improvement over our previous house we rented. There are plenty of games and toys that will entertain all ages when you want to stay in. Susan was very prompt in responding to all of our messages-even when we lost power (completely out of everyone's control but resolved quickly). If we ever come back to Utah county, we will definitely stay here again!
