Great house for family
We stayed here for a family gathering and found it to be perfect for us. There are several areas that were great for us to get together for games. The kitchen and dining room were perfect for meals. We were able to enjoy outdoor areas because of the cool weather - didn't expect highs in the 70's in August! We hope to return when we all come to visit family living in the area.

Nice place, little dirty, poor host communication
The place is super nice, but has downsides. Has stinky well water. 2 of the 3 bathroom doors do not stay closed (or lock). 1 bathroom has surprise hairs all in the tub upon arrival, doors were hard to lock so I contacted seller after 1st night of 2, and they never replied, even over 24 hours later. Beds were comfy, nice scenic area w lots of areas to hangout.

Winner for Interim housing needs!
My family of four plus two dogs needed a place in the area while we were in transition to a new home. The house was well appointed and the beds were SUPER comfy. The location was great for us as we were learning our way around the area. The spaces in the home were great for our dogs and kids to have room to play and relax. Hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed when relaxation was needed. If I have a complaint, I would say a few more towels would have been nice. We were a family of four and there was one towel for each of us. The night we did the hot tub we still had wet towels for morning showers. I did need to work remote during our stay and the internet connection was poor and made that very challenging but that may not be a concern for most guest. Overall, it was a great place for what we needed!

The property was beautiful and amenities galore. It was a challenge to take advantage of everything offered! Perfect for our crew of three families. Comfortable, cozy, and complete with sauna, hot tub, pool table and fireplace. Easy route to city. Highly recommend. WJ

It was great.....but
The property was very nice, but some really small things need attention. Short on toilet paper, the clothing iron did not work, only two trash bags on hand, the master bath door does not shut closed, the fireplace was a mess (had to clean it myself) and the thermostat was not straight forward in its operation, you need some instructions for it.
