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

Great stay! Devin was responsive and helpful prior to and during the stay. Really spacious! We had a large group and loved utilizing both living areas and dining area. It never felt crowded. Love the kids' nook. Very cozy for little ones! Great kitchen and equipment. Great game room downstairs.A couple things to note: The room with the bunk beds and room with 3 twins and 1 queen are adjoining. It wasn't a huge deal, but we had guys in one room and girls in another room, so it would have been preferred for them to not be adjoining just for more privacy sake. The other big thing is that there is only one full public bathroom in the main house. The other full bathrooms are attached to a master bedroom and two other bedrooms, without main hall entrance. It would have been nice to have at least one more fully-accessible bathroom. Also, one of the bath tubs was extremely old and desperately needs to be replaced. That was the only part of the property that wasn't updated. It is in the description, but I missed it when originally booking, the mother-in-law suite and the pool house are NOT included free of charge, so just be aware of this. When looking at the photos, it kind of seems as if they are. The description does detail this out though. I just personally missed it. Overall, we loved our visit! The only reason we may not use this specific property again is the bathroom situation. If there was one more full bathroom, we absolutely would. Thank you again!

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.

The house is stunning!

We stayed at the house just after Christmas to celebrate the holiday with our family. We had 23 people (adults and kids of all ages). The house was comfortable for all of us, including sleeping arrangements. We had plenty of space and enough separation for quiet time when needed. The 2 living rooms were very comfortable and had tv’s, all the bedrooms also have TVs which was really nice. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we needed. We played pickleball and enjoyed the hot tub too. We took the kids to the children’s museum. We will definitely return for another stay! Thanks Devin!

Lovely grounds

The property is well located and the grounds are beautiful! The house is okay. For the amount of beds upstairs for sleeping there is only 1 bathroom. The number of overnight guests does not match well with the amount of showers. The house was warm and sometimes uncomfortable at night for sleeping. We never used the pool or downstairs.
