We work so hard to keep the space clean and organized for our guests; glad you noticed! Looking forward to hosting you in the future. :)
We had a big group of people in both houses for the weekend and were very happy and impressed with how clean the home was. It was updated, spacious, and the hosts were extremely helpful, responsive and nice. I definitely recommend staying here!

We had an unforgettable retreat weekend on the property. It was plenty spacious, clean, and very accommodating. The host was responsive and attentive to all of our needs. Strongly recommend the home for larger groups.
Had a great reunion with a large group. Loved how close activities were and the playhouse was an absolute dream as we had a lot of kids with us.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful reunion with your group. It's fantastic to know that the proximity of activities worked well for you, and that the playhouse was a hit, especially for the kids. We hope to welcome you all back again soon for another memorable gathering!
I had a group of friends get together here for the weekend and everything was great. The check in and out process was very smooth and there were enough beds and bathrooms to keep everyone happy. We had planned on going to the lake that was nearby but we had such a great time on the property that we didn't end up leaving. I would definitely stay here again and my group of friends are already talking about making it a yearly trip.
This unique two-house property was perfect for our family of 16. Plenty of room inside and outside for the grandkids. And communication with property manager was exceptional.
Nathan was amazing. He answered all requests on time. We recommend his houses, we rented both and everyone was comfortable. We will rent again.

It was so nice hosting you and hearing about how your large group was able to have plenty of space and enjoy the homes. We always love seeing our guests enjoy all the spaces we setup :). Can't wait to have you stay again in the future!
The house was large and clean and well equipped. Nicely decorated and spacious. Kids had fun in game rooms and outside playhouse. The fire pit was a great outside gathering place. Property was well maintained. Perfect for a family reunion.

Hi there! Thank you for your kind words about our homes, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We are glad you enjoyed the fire pit and game room with your guests! Thank you for choosing to stay at our home!
This property was an excellent place to stay for our long-weekend, multi family stay. We were traveling with many young children and they had a blast at the treehouse on the property and using the ample outdoor space for play. The kitchens were well stocked with everything we needed to prepare dinner and breakfast for the 20+ people we stayed with. We had one minor issue with electrical outlets not working and the hosts were very responsive and told us how to reset the breaker, which fixed the problem. Everyone I stayed with commented on what a great find this property was—would stay again!
I rarely write reviews but it would be wrong to gate keep this gem. My group of college friends and I had THE BEST time here. The property was so well maintained and checking in and out was a breeze. There was plenty of parking and a lot of room for yard games. Everyone also enjoyed both hot tubs and grilling out on the deck. The beds and couches were very comfortable and showers/bathrooms were pristine. And to top it all off Nathan and Kara were very responsive from months ahead of our trip to days after leaving. If you're thinking about booking - just do it. You won't want to miss out on a find like this one.
We rented this property for our annual holiday get together. Having two houses for such a big group was fantastic!The owners made the booking and the check-in process very easy. They were always very responsive and accommodating. I've rented a number of properties and their process was the most streamlined and efficient. They provided ample information about the property and the surrounding area.There were 6 families and there was ample space for everyone. The kids took advantage of the game room in the basement as well as the spacious grounds. Even though there was snow on the ground, they still made use of the playground.With such a large group, having two kitchens was so helpful! The two houses are just a short walk from each other so it wasn't a hassle at all. The houses were both clean and well stocked. We definitely want to come back during warmer weather!

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the setting of this home. Kara loves history and learning that the home and property was previously the home of a stone mason. We envisioned how charming the property would be once lite up at night to highlight the charming natural stone features including stone walkways, two arched stone bridges & stone walls.
Although the property needed a lot of to improve the overall layout of the home so that it would be able to handle larger groups, we were confident the end result would be fantastic. We were so pleased to finish up the renovations after touching every area of the home.
You will find the home perfectly suites large groups by giving plenty of space to spread out and not be on-top of each other. The two separate living rooms consisting of a large hang-out room and a secondary game room allow for the kids to be in one area while the adults stay in another.
Lastly, we made a last minute decision to add a 3rd full bathroom giving the home 2 master suites that have their own private bathroom.
In the end we are so excited to now be sharing this with YOU. Enjoy have a wonderful time - now go create some memories!!!
