It was in a great location. Lots of trails to use and a pond all in the backyard. We had a great stay and the host was very quick with responses to any of our questions or needs.

We booked this estate for a friend reunion trip. It was the perfect place for all of our families to gather together to socialize, play with kids, and spend time together. The kitchen was well-appointed with plenty of useful utensils, cookware, and dishes — including lots of options for young children. The outdoor space was the perfect size, big enough to explore and run around to wear kids out, and stocked with many options for entertainment. The rooms were comfortable and all the facilities clean. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a place to gather and feel at home.

Weekend bike trip

This is a great property in a very convenient location. Quiet and fully equipped. The 6th bedroom should be defined as shared with the master sweet. It didn't work wonderfully for couples. We had a great weekend and enjoyed our stay.

PERFECTION!

Everything about this house, pertaining to our stay, was absolutely fantastic! We had a total of 8 adults, 4 teens, and 2 adolescents in the house for a week long softball tournament. Not one time did anyone feel cramped or in the way! There is so much to do on this beautiful property, from fishing in the pond, to cornhole, to the pool table and bar area, to the gorgeous and relaxing back deck area - they have it all! It sits quietly in a cul-de-sac part of a beautiful neighborhood and we were 15-20 minutes from everything we wanted to do! The COMMUNICATION?! AWESOME! I couldn't have asked for better communication with the property managers when a thing or two came up at the beginning! We all stated we didnt want to leave this house. Highly recommend!!! P.s... if you're a hot sleeper, bring an extra fan for the upstairs (3rd floor) area.

Great property!

We were in town for a baseball tournament. This property was perfect for our coaching staff and families. It was clean, fully stocked, and had more than enough to do. The property had land and plenty of open space in back, making a beautiful backdrop, and vibes of being secluded, but close enough to town to get to places quick.The property manager was highly responsive in a timely fashion. We asked if they had a specifoc kitchen item and he said they did not have it, but made sure they would. A brand new one was waiting for us when we arrived. The house was very well stocked with anything a reasonable person could ask for, and was very, very family friendly with both indoor games and activities, as well as outdoor. We had 13 people in our group and never once felt on top of each other. The layout of the house was suitable for our four families. The only thing we did not expect about the property was that the bedroom with the double bed appeared to be in a large walk in closet off the master, only accessible by going through the master and master bath to access. With that said, it would be perfect for younger ones.Our four families would definitely come back and stay at this property next time we are in town.
