What a treasure! This house was perfect for our family reunion. Great location for short drives to key attractions in the RRG area, plenty of space to relax and connect, and the house itself is soooo unique. Hot tub and sauna helped us relax after a long day. Host was great to work with - would highly recommend!

Family get together

Large property with plenty of space for our group of 20. Lots of bedrooms and outdoor space. Easy check in. Had an issue upon arrival but it was resolved very quickly. Rented both sections of house just wish there was an internal staircase connected them. So close to Natural Bridge and other grst hiking locations.

Love quirkiness of the house . Plenty of room for our family reunion.The landscaping could use a lot of help. Too many weeds and vines closed to the house, steps and patio.

Beautiful and spacious

Great location with lots of fun opportunities nearby. Beautiful scenery to explore. We were able to accommodate our whole family, kids and grandkids easily and spent many hours outdoors on the decks. The owners were quick to respond with any of the issues we had. Overall, a great place to stay - and we enjoyed the unusual rooms, spectacular views, and tower of bathrooms!

Nice place

This is our 2 year in this house, it’s a good place to spend Christmas with the family is has alot of space. They only need to fix the locks on the restroom because if you have a big family or go with friends they going to open the door when you’re doing your business because they don’t work. But we really enjoy staying there. (There are wolves around we can heard them at night)

Very unique house

The house was a very unusual construction, fun, quiet and comfortable. We had 14 adults and 4 children occupying the house. Most of the family rode the sky lift to the natural bridge and some went twice. Thanks for sharing your home with my family.

A fun place

Third floor is private. Two rooms where the grandparents stayed. Has a bathroom and kitchen and lovely views. First and second floors are fun and quirky. Center winding staircase around a rock wall. Plenty of bathrooms. Nice and plentiful linens. Kitchen held all 18 of us for meals. To get from third floor is an outside staircase. Nice sauna and hot tub. Enough parking for four vehicles.

Perfect place for us & friends!

There were 16 of us and each couple got their own room! Definitely not a good place for people with mobility issues, but we all welcomed the extra exercise from all of the stairs! Our friends could not get over how perfect this place was. There were plenty of bathrooms and plenty of places to sit and play cards and have fun! The location could not have been more perfect. we are glad we all had SUVs because the rain made the driveways a little muddy. Everyone really enjoyed their stay. It was so close to the reptile zoo and the kayaking and we love the little goats next door.. our bed was very comfortable. The host was very responsive and answered all of our questions.

Long weekend with family

We booked the Big House to accommodate our large group. The house was clean, safe and had great views. Can’t get any closer to the hiking and climbing in the area! The large kitchens made for great family dinners each night. And the hot tub and sauna rounded out the fun. Note there are a number of stairs to navigate outside and in. We visited during the devastating Helene Hurricane and lost WiFi and TV. No issues with gas, electricity and had plenty of hot water. The hosts were available as we managed the storm. Will definitely return and recommend!

40th birthday surprise

Kitchen furnishings need to accommodate the number of sleepers. We had 22 people and barely adequate for our large group, even with renting the upper unit. A few burned out light bulbs, jiggly handles, loose steps, ants in the kitchen and bedrooms, no lock on the main bathroom door, upstairs cable didn't work, and stairway railing broke. But, very fun location, the layout of the house was neat, the beds were comfy and the hot tub and sauna were a big hit. We had a great time with lots of laughs. Thanks for opening up your house to us. Would stay again!!!

Beautiful, great location large group stay

My group was family and friends combined. We had an infant, and kids ranging from 2-9 and a couple teenagers, parents, aunts, and grandmas. It is a lot of stairs, but the grandmas made it! Great location close to so many activities. The driving and parking situation were a little sketch, but it was fine. The only complaints would be no outlet in some rooms that needed sleep ap machine making some of the rooming situation more difficult to figure out. Also the extra room downstairs perfect for the snoring family member was wayyy too hot in the day and freezing at night its more of a sunroom green house. Plan on staying again in the future!

Thanks for your review. I am glad you liked the house. There are electric plugs in each bedroom but maybe they were out of view behind the furniture. We will work on temperature control in that sunroom bedroom for the snoring guest. thanks

Family Reunion

We rented both the top & bottom cabins for our large family of 23. - Cabin design is quirky but makes it very cool - NOT handicap friendly even the bathroom has stairs - Water stopped working in both cabins however the property manager sent someone over to fix ASAP - 2 bedrooms do not have vents & guests were hot at nt - Location made up for all the issues - Place could use a good cleaning especially the window sills. There were thick layers of dust and dead bugs. - Supposed to have 3 full bathrooms but top floor shower does not work at all
