This is a very nice home with a beautiful back yard. Plenty of room for everyone and in a great location with a nice playground right across the street for the kiddos. Will definitely rebook if we are in the area.

Lovely stay for families

Great location, across the street from a park with swings, slides, basketball court and pickleball court. All rooms were spacious, bathrooms were clean and updated. Lots of space, indoors and outdoors. So many little touches that the host provided which made this rental a great place for families

The property is beautiful - pictures don’t do it justice. The layout is efficient and the backyard is stunning! It was a little dusty upon arrival. The host himself is a pleasure to deal with and communicative. KEEP IN MIND - neighbours can be unreasonable when it comes to acceptable noise levels throughout the day.

Thanks for the review Sarah. We work hard to provide a 5-star guest experience and have been successful at it across multiple hosting platforms. We strive equally hard to be good neighbours, as such we love families and guests looking for a relaxing stay, and are not the ideal destination for party goers as you experienced. Thanks again for checking us out. Best, -Terry

golf get away

We were a group of six women on a 3 day golf get away. The payment and check in process was very smooth and Terrence was available to contact if necessary. We were all very pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. We all felt that online pictures in this case did not do it justice. It was very clean and spacious. We were able, with some adjustments, to provide everyone with private sleeping arrangements and the three bathrooms, each with a shower, were definitely a bonus. We enjoyed the outdoor seating space and the extent of the property to enjoy. It is very deceiving from the font of the house. The only suggestion might be to clean up the pond. Would definitely recommend this property.
