It was fantastic for our reunion and very close to Oakmont which we also rented for our large family. It has a great hot tub including towels for using the hot tub. It was nicely equipped, clean and pleasant. The proximity to the Owner's club is also much appreciated.

Large space, great getaway

We were a group of two families with 5 kids total ranging in ages from 12-17. We enjoyed our time at the home and everyone had enough space. The teens walked over to the club house to play basketball and hang out. I wish we were closer to walking paths that weren’t in the full sun, but we ended up driving to one in the territory and it was a beautiful walk. We had some questions while were were there and the management company always answered promptly.

Return rental

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was great inside except we saw a mouse out by the hot tub which was a bit disconcerting (maybe that is just me?). Also, this is the second time we have rented this property and it appears that the lawn does not get mowed very often. There are always huge amounts of grass laying in the yard and with little kids being in the mix all they want to do is haul it around the yard making a bigger mess. Possibly your lawn care company could bag the yard so we are not tracking grass all over everything? And also, a second refrigerator would have been appreciated. I thought they had one under the bar last year but with this being a bigger property and able to accommodate a larger group, having a second fridge for drinks would be nice. Just a suggestion. Otherwise very nice.

Had everything we needed

4 Augusta Drive was just as shown. The living rooms and kitchen were big enough for all 11 of us. We also enjoyed the fire pit (there was plenty of firewood on site) and hot tub. There was an issue with the thermostat in the hot tub but someone was sent out to fix it. The house was in a great location for walks and close to the owners clubhouse so we could enjoy the pool. Overall enjoyable stay.

Great family getaway describe your

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place for us to spend a week with our children and grandchildren. The house was clean, well maintained and had a large selection of cookware for preparing meals for her group. The expansive backyard offered a great place for the grandchildren to play and catch lightning bugs. The large fire pit offered ample seating and was one of the nicest ones we’ve ever experienced. The amenity cards offer guests access to the swimming pools nd the marina where we rented a pontoon boat for a morning of fishing on the lake. A good time was had by all.
