Just returned from several days at this property. We had a family reunion with lots of little ones, teens, young married couples and plenty of older couples, too. The space of the house is great. We didn't feel we were constantly on top of each other and in each other's way. Parking is ample. Rooms were plenty. It was comfortable and cozy. The kids adored the play area and spent the majority of the time there and it was great to have it! There are a lot of stairs...so keep that in mind for older people in your group. Tons of plates, cups and utensils. Plenty of seating in the kitchen area and family room for meals.
I do have some constructive comments: when we arrived, we were informed, by the cleaning crew, that 3 of the 4 sets of washers/dryers were not working. 1 of the 2 dishwashers was not working...so incredibly glad we brought tons of paper plates, plastic cups etc. since there was only 1 dishwasher. We had heard paper towels, toilet paper and hand soap were not supplied well and so we brought our own. Seems for the price of rental, these basic items should be in plentiful supply (owner could make a Costco run twice a year and stock up...keep it locked up and instruct the cleaning crew if the next group is big and staying for a while, thus to stock the bathrooms and pantry well with supplies). This home desperately needs a second refrigerator. Also, I feel we should have been informed beforehand about the broken washers, dryers, dishwasher....and the non-functioning theater room, low playroom supplies that are advertised as being present (due to previous renters abusing them), and that there are no instructions on how to operate the t.v.'s etc. I, personally, feel that the rental price should be adjusted when many things advertised were not available for our use....especially when these extra amenities are what drew us to this rental, in the first place.
I would recommend this house for large groups, but I would recommend that you investigate if all amenities are available and in working order.
Although we had some hiccups, we loved spending time together in this home and it was a wonderful weekend. We would definitely consider staying here again. The area is beautiful and peaceful. The house is very well centrally located.
