We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean and cozy. Check-in was very easy with the door code, and the host was quick to answer our questions and comments. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family dinners. We enjoyed all the amenities like the pool, hot tub/pool spa, pickleball/basketball court, and the game room. Overall, it’s a very nice property with lots of space. It is highly recommended especially if you prefer privacy and a quiet place.

An absolutely gorgeous property with phenomenal views! We thoroughly enjoyed boating and fishing, in addition to walking the trail around the pond. A very serene place to relax and unwind. Everything was clean and tidy up arrival. A nice gesture of wine was a perfect touch to welcome our group. The rooms were quite spacious with very comfortable beds. The movie theater and game room was enjoyed on our rainy day. Plenty of activities to do for any age. Our 80 year old father felt like a kid again here.

Overall I would give our experience high ratings. The communication was superior. The place was exactly as described. It was clean and comfortable. Check in was glitchy but a prompt reply by wanderhome team was appreciated. The house amenities were awesome. Soap shampoo, toilet paper and paper towels were in good supply. Kitchen had all the needed tools to cook at home. One caution, The downstairs tile floor is very slippery when coming in from outside with wet shoes. One fall made us aware and more careful. We didn't use the pool or the hot tub. (Hot tub was a little cloudy) probably okay but we're sensitive. I would have liked to know if water is changed between guests. We loved having the pickleball court. Beds were comfortable with linens and towels for each room. I would stay here again! Thank you!

We live at the beach, so a break in the hills is what we were looking for, and the Pondside Playhouse was everything we wanted. Great amenities! Plenty of property to run around on. The pond was a hit with my granddaughters! The play room had so much to keep everyone busy. The theatre room was great for movie nights! Plus the pool, and the hot tub! We had a fire in the fire pit at night and made smores! The house has a great layout and we had all of our meals in the kitchen dining area, or on the deck! The house has everything you could want, and then some. And our host was the BEST!Whatever questions we had were answered expeditiously. It really was such a memorable time I know the memories will last a lifetime,

Just got back from a family stay at the pond playhouse. We loved the design of the house, the layout and all of the added amenities like the game room and theatre room. Our grandsons discovered what a hot tub is and loved it! The family loved the pond and made good use of the kayak and spent time fishing each day.There were a few things that kept this from being truly a 5 star accomodation. One of the pendant lights in the kitchen was missing its globe and light bulb; there is a cracked tile in the kitchen floor; both doors from the garage had what looked like significant mold or rust on them; the sport court needs a serious refresh; and a few rugs in the Master Bath would warm the room up. None of these items ruined our time spent at the house, but it keeps me from giving the property 5 stars.
