Excellent Property!

While there were some small quirks with the pool and patio area, overall the property was very clean and well stocked. Our group spent most of the time inside during our stay and the game/play rooms were both a big hit with the kiddos. Host was very responsive to anything that came up!

Great pool & Pickleball court

Our family of 16 (adults down to young children) really enjoyed the outside pool, pickleball court, and comfortable hanging chairs - great place for an afternoon nap! Everything outside for our needs perfectly. Inside the house was nice was well. Bedrooms & bathrooms were just right for us and the 2 bonus play rooms were awesome for the kids to play in. Checking in and out were very easy & host answered our questions timely. Our only complaint would be in the kitchen. It wasn’t very well stocked and the things that were there (pots, pans, baking sheets) were in pretty rough condition.

I've stayed at bnb's all over the world for over 25 years and this was the best of them all. Everything worked! And if we couldn't figure something out Michael responded to my text immediately. Kitchen is well equipped and we cooked all 3 meals for 2 days. Coffee is gratis. Pickelball court is in excellent condition as are the hot tub and pool and the rooms are fabulous. Even great pillows. We just reserved for 6 months from now again!

Multi Generational Wonderland

This is an exceptional property. Had our son’s and their families with kids ranging from 3 to 15. Can’t think of anything, this house didn’t have… they had a blast. The upstairs event room with all the bean bag chairs and hanging chairs was a hit. The downstairs rec room was a hit with the older ones. Pool / Hot tub / Pickle ball court and swing set couldn’t have been better for our crew. Kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms were very comfortable. We will definitely consider using for our next family get together. The place is ideal for a large group.

Love the property and all the amenities but had issues during stay

So overall, the property is as amazing as listed. From all the bedroom sizes, the pool, and the play room -- all of that was more than we expected and everyone who stayed was comfortable and all the kids could not play enough.That alone, I would give it 5 stars, but we had some issues during our stay. The biggest issue we dealt with was a gnat infestation. There were Gnats all over the kitchen since the day we checked in. We had to buy apple cider vinegar to create traps to help control the issue, but it was a lot. This was a huge issue we brought to the owners attention, but wasn't really acknowledged or followed up on by the host. This disrupted our meals and you couldn't leave any food out longer than 3-4 minutes before gnats were trying to get all over it. Really disrupted what could of been an awesome stay.We also had to deal with: (1) a broken sink disposal, which the host did someone to fix the next day late afternoon, (2) the grass wasn't cut or maintained and we saw a snake on the property, so it made us hesitant to bring our kids to the playground / pickleball area. (3) The playground needs some TLC, did not feel safe for kids to be on. (4) Tree hangs low on the pickleball court and disrupts game play (5) I felt like the host also wasn't as accommodating as I wished even for all that we experienced. Check in of 4pm is later than we are used to and Check out 10AM is earlier than was we are typically used to. Family had a great time, but could of been better

Beautiful Home

The house itself was very beautiful, with lots of space and amenities. Upon arrival, there was a pallet of stuff in the driveway. Also when we arrived the pool looked like it wasn't serviced but the pool maintenance person came the next day. also, there were no clear instructions on how to operate the jacuzzi but after contacting the host he was able to turn it on. We were a little disappointed that the listing stated that there were 4 more beds than they actually had. it shows on the description that there are 2 rooms with 2 twins and a full-size/queen bed but there weren't. So don't plan to fill the house. I was also told that there were blow-up mattresses in the closest and extra bedding but they didn't have that either. we had to rent another house to accommodate for the rest of our group due to the shortage of beds that was listed on their description. Overall the house is very beautiful and in a very nice area, I was just disappointed for the price we payed we didn't get the right amount of beds. Please fix your listing to accurately reflect what you have

Horrible host

The property was beautiful and we were so excited when we first toured it. However, the main refrigerator was broken when we arrived and the host refused to have it looked at until after we checked out. He told us to use the 2nd refrigerator because it’s there as a backup - we had planned to use that fridge also, because it showed in the pics there were 2. We were questioned as to why we even needed it. That refrigerator also broke while we were there and u had to try multiple times to get attention and a solution. I asked the host to call me and he would not. There was no guest book, which was fine except that we couldn’t figure out how to use many of the “amenities” on the property. Some of them were even controlled remotely and we could not use them without reaching out to the host multiple times (I.e. The pool water desaturated). The downstairs tv didn’t have a remote and we couldn’t use it for family watching. The host told us to just try other remotes in the house, which we had done and still had no success. No solution was attempted. I could go on, but that is just a sample of the issues.

Beautiful property, inaccurate listing

We loved our stay at this property - the kitchen had most of the things we needed and was very spacious for our meal prep and cooking. All of the spaces in the house were beautiful and spacious for our family reunion. The WiFi was very slow - I wasn't able to be on camera for my work calls which was highly disruptive and many of the streaming services buffered quite a bit while watching. However, when I initially booked the property, I was under the impression that 2 of the bedrooms had 2 twin beds each in them which was perfect for our families' arrangements. However, the day before check-in, the host changed the room listing and took out the twin beds and told me that they would have queen air mattresses available instead. This was extremely disappointing since I would not have booked this property if I had known some guests would have been sleeping on air mattresses. This property has a misleading room description where the VRBO description says "sleeps 24 people" but the hosts description says "sleeps 20 people."Again, overall a great property but please fix the listing description!
