We stayed here with family and a group of friends. The property itself was awesome. The kids loved it outside. There was something for everyone to do. Although the property was nice, the cleanliness of the home and rooms not so much. One family stayed in one of the cabins and the sheets were definitely not washed, which was disturbing. We were able to contact the host and they were quick to respond, but as much as we paid to stay here, I would hope that the home was immaculate. It’s unfortunate that the home was not cleaned very well because our kids loved it. I would recommend the host to hire new cleaners.

The house itself was nice and all the activities you are able to do was great, but there was a significant amount of trash in the front yard, cigarette butts on the pavement near the pool, and pool had algae all over the bottom of it. For the price, I was not quite happy with the condition of the place, but we overall had a good weekend.

Fantastic property ! We had storms every day and evening …had some damage from one storm but never took away from the property. There are soo many games to play that everyone had something they could do at all times. James was a great host and good to communicate with us before we arrived and during our stay.

The house was beautiful. So much to do for the kids. We were allowed am early check in and our party started at 5 pm. The pool guys did not come until shortly after 4. They told us it would take about 1.5 to 2 hours before anyone could get in the pool so that already cut into the party time. The outside kitchen area was dirty. Everything was sticky and greasy. The kitchen appliances were dirty, sticky and greasy. There were left over shoes under one of the beds, food crumbs under the bed. The house was very warm. It would not cool off past 76 degrees the whole time. The back bunk room was terribly hot. Even the mini split was not cooling it off. Most of the doors squeaked so anytime someone would walk through a door, it would wake everyone up. There were wasp nests outside under patio and 2 kids got stung. The host was great. He walked us through everything we needed to know. Although the house was nice, I do believe the price we paid was not worth what we got with the cleanliness, the wait of the pool after the party started, the bees and how warm the house was. Kids had fun but wasn't worth the 2000 for 1 night. Hopefully the next time, it will be better for the next people that rent it. Definitely needs a deep cleaning. Beautiful home though

A great place to stay for a large family or group. All activities and eating areas were in close proximity so didn’t miss out on anything. Fun activities for all ages.
