everything was very nice. Lots of extras, the pickleball court was awesome since we did have 2 days of rain. That was really great with kids. My only comment would be maybe you need to spray for spiders. we killed several large ones in the basement. Otherwise it was great!

We had a fairly short but great stay at this property with a large group. There was plenty of room for hanging out, the pool and hot tub were clean and inviting, the kitchen was well equipped, and the host, Devin, was easy to work with and very flexible with us. Would highly recommend for a large group gathering.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The inside of the house was clean. The outside was full of very old spiderwebs. Leaves and sticks were all around the sitting area, the pool cushions were soaked with old water and filthy. Some of the pool chairs were broken and not enough for all of us to sit on anyway. While trying to cook, we continued to blow fuses. There was also a hole in the dining room ceiling. Thankfully it didn’t rain. The main bedroom shades did not work and the mattress was very old as well as the pillows. There was huge dip in the middle of the mattress. It was not comfortable at all. The water temperature in sinks and showers were at times scalding hot and other times you only got a cold shower. I truly don’t know what was worse as both were awful! This house must have been beautiful in its heyday. Unfortunately it’s just not well kept. I do stand with the inside being clean but there’s just so much wrong with it.

Stunning home, plenty of room to spread out. We had a Thanksgiving celebration there and the location was ideal for a convergence of families from the Midwest and East Coast. High quality everything in the house. The pictures do not lie, it is as lovely as what you see here.If you are making big meals they have absolutely everything that you need in the kitchen x2..so don't fret. Hosts are responsive any time of day but we didn't need to reach out much as things were exactly as expected. We look forward to returning

Excellent spots for all ages

We can’t say enough good things about this home. We traveled with a group of 5 families that have been friends for a long time. The pool was absolutely perfect and there were great spots to eat, play games and hang out. The couches were comfortable and cozy. The kids enjoyed playing pickle ball in the garage and the movie room. The host was over the top in addressing any issues and we have stayed in many vacation spots. His willingness to respond and quickly handle anything was notable. We were so grateful. The spot is also close to anything you need. We would definitely stay here again.
