We stayed at the Gibson House for a girl's golf trip for three nights. The house and the grounds were fabulous. Every detail was first class and well thought out. We especially enjoyed the sunroom in the evening playing cards and visiting. We will do a return visit for sure

The property was incredible! We were on a girl’s trip and could not have picked a more perfect house! We had our morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the beautiful lake. It was close to wineries and restaurants. Amazing! We’re already planning a return trip!

Beautiful lake view from comfy sunroom

Really enjoyed our stay at the Gibson House. It was perfect for our family visit, very clean and well stocked. It’s large and open common rooms are engaging yet has quiet, private bedrooms. The weather was perfect for lounging on the covered porches and we even caught a few bass from the lake.

Group trip

We were a group of 8 looking for a quiet week of relaxing. This house was beautiful! Very clean, lots of room. We rented a golf cart to drive around the property. Very nice pool, we had all to ourselves. Paddle boats, a golf course within a couple of miles. It was very quiet even being just about 1/2 miles off the highway. We were very pleased with our stay and I would highly recommend it.
