The host is so attentive and goes above and beyond. The house, pool, and location are all spectacular. We were a group of 17 and had a comfortable and memorable stay.
Great place to stay with a large party. We had 15 people and there was more than enough space for us to move around without feeling crowded. Kids and adults loved the pool, pool table and pickleball court. Kristi (hopefully I spelled her name correctly) and Scott provided just about everything we needed for cooking, bathrooms, and laundry! They were very responsive to all our questions, knowledgeable about the area and gave us some great recommendations to explore. We would definitely come back to stay here. Thank you again for sharing your home!
The amenities are amazing, great pool views, the pool table and the pickleball courts are a blast. The only downside to the property is having to go outside to move between levels. In addition I think the previous guests broke the no smoking rule, because the downstairs smelled of cigarette smoke pretty. The host does have plenty of candles to help mask the smell.,Those 2 things were the only negatives to our stay. It's a great property and we had an enjoyable visit
