This house was the perfect spot to host a get together with our friends. The house was amazing. Tons of space, lots of bedrooms, and a game room! It was nice to find a house that could accommodate a bigger group in a nice neighborhood that was still 15mins from all the casinos, golf courses, and marine. Would definitely recommend staying here again!
Great stay, loved the house and location was phenomenal! We had 7 adults and 4 kids, and had a great time on the patio, game room, hot tub. It’s a great property which we’ll visit again!
My only criticism would be none of the check in/out or welcome emails showed up in my inbox or junk mail. Worked it all out, but a little bit of a hassle getting all settled in. After that, it was a great stay with very responsive property management.
Everything was very nice, my only real concern was the mattress need to be as high end as the house, unfortunately it wasn't the best sleeping. The one king bed was the only one that was ok, in my opinion.
Best Regards
Almost all the blinds didn’t work well. But the rest of the accommodations were very nice

Thank you Scott. I apologize for the issues with the blinds. They are all down for privacy but some don't go up. We're in the process of having them replaced. Thank you again!
The house was great, plenty of sleeping options for a large group, but it was missing a few key items for a group >10. There weren't enough water glasses, and the neither the outdoor nor indoor table was big enough to seat our entire group of 11. I also couldn't find dishwasher detergent. Other than that the place was great.

Thans for the feedback Sam. I've passed it on to our service team to ensure there are enough glasses.
The indoor table isn't large but we do have some extra chairs in the garage if needed for larger group.
I'm glad you enjoyed the home overall. Thanks again.
THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME WAS JUST WHAT WE NEEDED RIGHT NOW TO TAKE THE BLUES AWAY. NO NEED TO BRING ANYTHING BUT YOUR WEARY SELF AND YOUR FOOD AND CLOTHES (OPTIONAL RIGHT NOW). WE FELT LIKE PRIVILEGED GUESTS OF A HIGH END RESORT/RETREAT. EACH ROOM WAS WONDERFULLY DECORATED AND APPOINTED WITH GOODIES. WE CURLED UP ON THE COUCH AND DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE MASTER BEDROOM. IT IS A DESTINATION UNTO ITSELF! MANY NOOKS AND CRANIES FOR A FEW HOURS OF REMOTE WORK IF NECESSARY. GOURMET KITCHEN AND GREAT TV - INTERNET ENTERTAINMENT. WE HATED TO LEAVE AND HOPE TO COME BACK AGAIN TO THIS OASIS IN THE MOUNTAINS. MARK & FAMILY
Two years ago, Covid canceled our previous reunion. So, this was a very pleasant replacement! This was a wonderful place, for our different age groups of kids 3-16! They especially enjoyed the hot tub!
This wonderful home has a great floor plan, amenities for families with children, and location to escape while remaining close to restaurants, etc. The home did not have an arcade as advertised, but we didn't miss it with the playground, hot tub, cornhole, and nearby trails keeping us busy outside. Property management was excellent and very responsive. Though some light maintenance on carpets, blinds, and some other minor fixes would greatly enhance the experience, we would definitely stay here again!!
It was very comfortable and beautiful backyard. Seller had all the little things needed for cooking and had washer and dryer avail which we needed after being on vacation a week . We felt safe and were comfortable.
Home was exactly as described and the perfect escape for our mini family reunion! The master bedroom is HUGE and all the rooms make for a very comfortable stay. Common room is great and no space is wasted. Also, the treeline views off the deck are wonderful!
This property was perfect for our family vacation. It accomadated all eleven of us. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Pictures were accurate. Beautiful home!
The property was exactly as expected and more. It was well stocked with everything our family needed. We really enjoyed staying there. Wish we were able to stay a little longer. But overall great family vacation.
Perfect location. Short drive to Heavenly, restaurants, and casinos. Hot tub, game room, wonderful kitchen. Great place to create memories with the family. Thank you, Caleb.
The house was so nice & clean. It came with everything you need. The beds were so comfortable & the soap/shampoo/lotion in bathrooms smell amazing! Kids loved the play set outback.
My husband and I stayed here with our teenage daughter and my sister's family of 4 consisting of her, her husband, nine year old son, and teenage daughter. We absolutely loved this gorgeous house and its location to everything. We had ample space to spread out in the house with the teens and kid in the den playing games while the adults visited in the living/kitchen great room. Or all together for games and meals at the huge dining table. We really enjoyed the spa in the early evening after getting back from biking, hiking, horseback riding or whatever activity we did during the day. We found a hiking trail that was a 5 min walk through the neighborhood to get to the trail head. It was just stunning views and lots of wildlife to be seen if your quiet enough. (we saw a coyote!) Also it's a quick 10 min drive to the lake which we loved.
The house was sparkling clean and had everything we needed to cook. The mattresses in the bedrooms are so soft. And the bathrooms are big, clean and have necessities stocked. We hope to be back someday!
