What Guests Are Saying
“Great place for our group. Would definitely stay again if in the area.”
“The home is more beautiful than the pictures. We enjoyed watching the deer in the backyard. It’s a nice spacious home and each of us were able to have our own bedroom! We really enjoyed it. It would be a great spot to have a large group stay together. The walkout basement is like its own apartment.”
“Very spacious house, exactly as shown in the listing”
“I would say this was a great overall experience. I would definitely come back again next year if they happen to be free. The amenities and house were great. They communicate clearly and it was easy to check in and check out. Unfortunately, the gaming space wasn’t fully open, but they communicated with us ahead of time. Would love to be back when everything’s finished.”
“Had a couple minor issues and upon calling, they were fixed the next day. Wonderfully large great room. With 10 adults and 10 grandchildren, we had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time there. The kitchen and laundry (3 sets of washers/dryers) were wonderfully large for handling many people.”
“This house was great for a friends trip with young families. We all had plenty of space and the enjoyed the huge and fully stocked kitchen. We would love to come back once the sauna and game room are completed! Thanks for a wonderful stay!”
“This was a wonderful place to stay for my large family. The house was very roomy, comfortable and clean. Plenty of areas to play games (inside and outside).”
“Great Host”
“The place exceeds expectations. Communication was clear and frequent but not intrusive. It was a great experience!”
