Great location and ambiance! The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the space. The house was not as clean as expected (hair in the sink and some dog hair in the tub, expired food in the fridge as well as dirty shelves in the fridge, dishes were a little dusty and needed a wipe down etc). Also, the hot tub was very chlorinated (uncomfortably so). Made it hard to enjoy our time in it.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We pride ourselves on offering a clean and hospitable experience and I’m sorry that was not the case on your recent visit. My team and I are working hard to assure that doesn’t happen in the future.

This property was perfect for our trip to The Big House and visiting with cousins in the area. Super quiet neighborhood, well stocked bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty of cookware/utinsels, and the hot tub and dock to fish off of were an added bonus. Looking forward to staying again for another future visit with our local family!
