The property was AMAZING! The view, the amenities, and the space was exactly what we needed and more. Brandon was ensured our stay was comfortable and very pleasant.
The Grafton Getaway was a perfect spot for our regional meetings. Plenty of room for our large group. Kitchen was well stocked for all of our needs. We took advantage of the big TV for presentations and enjoyed the outside fire pit in the evenings.
All of the parents and teens enjoyed our stay so much! The kids loved the arcade game, giant chess set and games, hot tub and sauna. They played outside on the lawn and watched a game and movie on the big screen TVs. It was easy to make and serve meals in the kitchen area. We will definitely be back!
We held our company board meeting at the house. Plenty of space inside for everyone and we had a lot of fun with the game room downstairs. The firepit has plenty of seating and was a nice feature. It was a great experience, and we will likely be back.
Family gathering to celebrate parents 60th anniversary
This was a great location and home. We needed a large place to be able to fit our entire immediate family for weekend stay. We had so much fun playing games, cooking and eating, watching movies, enjoying the outdoors at the house and in the area, and just laughing and enjoying family time. Thanks for a great stay, it had been around 30years since our parents had all 5 of us under one roof for multiple days, glad we could do this for there 60th anniversary.
The property was great! We had 18 adults and 1 child for our lab retreat, for which we utilized the TV to connect a laptop for presentations. We also cooked many meals, played games, watched movies, and enjoyed the outdoors. We couldn’t have chosen a better spot for our retreat :)
