Great place to stay! Home is huge and beds comfortable. Lagoon is beautiful- water a bit cold. Pickle ball courts were in great shape! Great pool and hot tub right in property which was well utilized! Would like to see better water pressure for showers and better wifi, but that would be my only complaint.

This is the first planned family reunion since my husband was killed in an accident almost 3 years ago and I was concerned. But, we all loved it. The house was big enough to accomodate our large group of up to 32 and the amenities were wonderful. We had some off site activities but loved the lagoon, pickleball, volleyball, swimming and Swig (nearby). My kids and grands are not sit still kind of people and there was enough to keep them busy and the grandkids were busy making friends and playing games at night. The entire time was magical.

It was THE BEST!! The house is amazing. We felt as if we were on a reality tv show. The kitchen was perfect for a large group who loves food. We all pitched in and cooked. Having our own ensuite rooms gave us the opportunity to socialize in a whole new way while still having the ablitity to work. One day we spent an entire day in the living room in front of the fireplace with a computer hooked up to the big screen tv and brainstormed/worked together while curled up on the sofas under blankets.
It was such a productive, fun and bonding experience. We will make this an annual event.

Holly, this is the best review ever!! We are so grateful for your support and loyalty! Thanks for such a wonderful review! Book directly with Red Rock Vacation Rentals next time to save on fees and nightly rates on any of our 300+ rentals!!
This location was a great option for our family reunion. There was plenty of space for everyone, on what ended up being 113 degree weekend, so the space was appreciated while we stayed cool. There are kid activity spaces on the second and 3rd floor. The bunk room is awesome with 2 tvs and a Jack and Jill bathroom. The Lagoon is just a short walk from the front door, easy to run back and forth for lunch or forgotten items or napping children. We’ve stayed at a lot of vrbo’s and this place is noticeably quiet- the sound proofing is top notch- sleep well even when babies are crying in the other room or early risers leave for biking/hiking. If you have 20+ ppl- you will love this place! We didn’t have to venture out anywhere else to spend money on entertainment, so consider the nightly fee inclusive of fun!
