Great home and location!

The home was perfect for our needs and we loved the location - a 5-minute walk to the beach/pool/water sports area and restaurant. There were also a few restaurants within 0.7 miles and hiking opportunities nearby. Recommended!

Great location and lots of amenities!

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house had everything we needed and was well stocked. It was a short walk to the lake area and heated pool, especially since we ended up with a cool, cloudy week, the kids enjoyed the heated pool. There were lots of lawn games and things to do in the community area.

Stayed for my Bachelorette Weekend!

This house was exactly what we needed. It was clean, tidy, and had plenty of space. There were lots of clean towels and tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner and bars of soap for us to use. It was a very cute house and conveniently close to a tavern where we had dinner and drinks. Definitely recommend!

Well Worn Warrior

The property, and the home and furnishings were as depicted in the listing. Master bath was a pleasent surprise with a multi headed shower system, body sprays, etc.However, much of the cooking equipment needs to be looked at by the owner. Rusty cooking trays, non functional can opener (had to borrow the neighbors) miss matched everything ... flatware so thin i was afraid to hold it properly that it would bend in my hand.My wife and i both cook heavily, and we came prepared with our own kitchen knives, sautee pans and other stuff. There was just 1 small cutting board provided, for a home that is set up to sleep 8 to 10. Had we not come well prepared, expecting the worse,6 this would have really dissapointing.The outdoor grill needs a significant cleaning. Also the electronic ignition is broken, forcing me to toss a match in. One of my arms is now devoid of hair from "flashover".The beds were great. Warning to short folks, the bed in the master bedroom is VERY HIGH.Would we come back? Probably... i relise this is a short term rental. But note to the owner: please go throgh your kitchen equipment bery carefully and fix or replace what is needed.

Perfect Winter Break Getaway

My family and I had an amazing trip. The condo was updated and clean. Perfect amount of space for a family of 5 and so close to the mountain. A quick drive to restaurants as well, you can’t beat this location! They provided all of the amenities we needed for the week as well. We will definitely be planning another stay!!
