This rental was perfect for our family getaway. It was just as listed and great space for the entire family. The only thing was the refrigerator wasn’t super cold but we managed.

There were several light bulbs that were flickering and needed to be changed and there was trash underneath the trash bags and dirt and other stuff underneath the beds and couches like they weren’t moved to clean other than that the stay was extremly nice but I paid 1200 so I expect everything to be in tip top shape

Family getaway

Was more than I expected.. with 5 bedrooms it was adequate for all my family members.. the huge living room area was very spacious and was the highlight of the stay. The ping pong table and pool table was great entertainment for the teens. Even thought the house itself needs some repairs and updates overall we had a wonderful time.

Cute Cabin

We loved the house. Plenty of room for our whole family and then some. It’s in a great neighborhood, and has all the amenities that we were looking for. Only negative thing I have to say, is the cleaning lady left 1 bed sheets dirty and a dirty rag on it. Nothing we couldn’t fix ourselves though! Would stay here again! Thank you!

A wonderful Christmas with Gamily

We had a great family holiday, with enough beds for everone, a huge living with seating for 12 people and a dining table that all 12 of us could fit. We were close to activities for all. All in all this home provided a great setting for our families holiday activities.

Spacious Cabin

Great cabin overall with a spacious, open concept with plenty of seating which allows the whole family to be together while enjoying their own activities. Kids really enjoyed the ping pong and pool tables. Only downside was having to park outside the garage if wanting to play ping pong. Everything else was as advertised with comfortable beds and a fully equiped kitchen. Would definitely stay here again.
