As we drove up and found ourselves immersed in the beauty of all the trees, impeccably maintained gardens, and glorious pool we knew right away we had made a good choice! The grounds are gorgeous and include everything you need - including outdoor tables, a hammock, pool, lounge chairs, big grassy lawn, a fire pit, and a stunning view! We were gathering to celebrate my mom's birthday and we had 6 adults and 5 kids (ranging in age from 3 to 14). Tamera, the property manager, is a real gem. She was always responsive and super friendly and helpful with all of our questions.
The layout of the house is a bit different than what I expected - it worked out well for our group but it's worth noting. Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms - one has a queen size bed (and a door). Nextdoor there is a double bed plus two window seats with a junior twin bed in each. This worked great as a kids room but it was a little awkward that there is no door to the bedroom, especially since the only bathroom upstairs is in that room (of course there is a door to the bathroom). We were also surprised to find that the windows next to the twin beds opened fully and there was nothing to stop a small child from easily falling out by accident. (Important note that when I mentioned this to Tamera she thanked me for bringing it to her attention and said it would be addressed immediately.)
Downstairs the kitchen is big and renovated, the dining room fit our entire group comfortably, and the living room is perfect for relaxing or playing games. There is also a beautiful master suite with en suite bath and a little patio directly outside.
The last 2 bedrooms are in the pool house. This wasn't a problem - it's just worth knowing that you have to go outside and through the garden to get there.
Overall, it was perfect for what we needed and we wish we could have stayed another week! I really hope we get to go back again!
