Great Friends Getaway
6 of us friends enjoyed our extended weekend getaway at this villa. Everything was great! Check in was easy and the owner responded right away to questions and requests that we had regarding our stay. The villa was very nice, clean, and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful Family Vacation Space
We loved our stay at the Villa for family vacation. Beautiful views from the deck for morning coffee. We frequented the pool, hot tub, pickleball court, and playground. Being able to use paddle boards was a plus. Nice set up for adults to gather after kids went to bed (living spaces on 2 floors.) Groceries were not far. Would return.

A family gathering
Last year 7 of us rented the same villa and had perfect weather. This year we had 8 people and found it overcrowded. The dining table sat 6 comfortably so I would suggest parties of 6 would be better. And this year Wynne Lake was still in flood stage and the dock below our villa which we used daily last year was out in the water away from access. Also one of the steps to that dock was broken.. the inside of the Villa was really nice but the entry needs paint and a screen door. We certainly understand that the heavy rains were out of anyone’s control but we were unaware of the condition of the shore and beach areas. The resort has a lot going for it with good dining, rentals of kayaks and paddle boards, lots of good walking. And we sure appreciated how well stocked the villa’s kitchen was.

Cozy getaway
Our family stayed with another family for an alpine ski race weekend. Location was great for getting to the ski hills. The decor of the place is adorable. Great spaces: enough beds (and comfortable), nice to have a basement area for kids to be separate from the adults, kitchen was well stocked. There was even shampoo, conditioner & body wash to use, which was amazing since I forgot mine! The host even left a goodie bag for us, which was a sweet gesture. It’d be fun to come back in the summer!

Perfect for the seven of us
Our family gathering found the villa to have everything we could want. The kitchen was well-stocked and the appliances were in great shape. We loved sitting on the deck for our morning coffee while in the cool breeze and beautiful woods. We walked down the hill to jump off the dock for fun and also used the paddle boards for our first ever experience. There were no paddles for standing but we sure had fun kneeling. The younger ones loved the pool snd we all enjoyed the hot tub The lowest lever of the villa was perfect for evening board games. The villa was nicely decorated and comfortable.

Giants Ridge Villa
The pool was very nice. Was hoping for a better beach. We did not rent kayaks as we thought cost for an hour was overpriced. The villa was nice but we expected the kitchen and living space on main level to be larger. The basement would have been a great space but it was too cold to enjoy. Overall, we had a good stay.

AMAZING!
We had a group of 8 family members staying at the property. 6 adults and 2 kids. The kids claimed the upstairs loft and were so happy to have a private space. The bedrooms were all decent sized and comfortable. The description of the property was accurate. We did not get to utilize the kayaks due to bad weather but did sign the waiver just in case we were able and the owner quickly responded with the code. The golf course is very close and it is a quick (1.5 hour) scenic drive over to the North Shore. We would all highly recommend this place to stay!

Couples get-away
Check-in gets 4 stars - the cleaning crew changed the batteries, so the code didn't work. They had to get ahold of the owners to get that fixed. Didn't take too long to get in. It was hard to keep the temp cool on all 3 levels. The basement had office ceiling air vents, whereas the main and loft levels had regular floor vents. So cold in the basement, comfortable on the main level and a little warm in the loft. The view of the lake...there wasn't one, so that was misleading. It would have been nice if there was a way to cover the big windows so the loft wasn't getting drenched in sunlight at 6 am. A tree fell on the power lines across the street knocking out the power. I was suprised at how fast it was taken care of. The villa was roomy enough for the 6 of us. Beds were nice. All in all, a nice place to stay and not too far from places to go.
