We had an excellent time. We stayed for 5 days over the Labor Day Weekend in Sept. 2025. There was plenty of room for family activities. Excellent property.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear you had an excellent time over Labor Day Weekend and that the home offered plenty of space for your family to enjoy. It’s great to know the property met your expectations — we truly appreciate you staying with us!
The house was spacious and beautiful. We noticed a few broken windows upon entering, which we pointed out to Sweetgrass properties right away. We also had no hot water for the last day and 1/2. Other than that we were really happy with the home.
