Family friendly clean home just as advertised. Comfortably slept 8 Could have easily had 2 more there if needed. Quiet street. Game room and outdoor area with the fire pit were great for our visit to the area for a family wedding. We’d stay there again if the need arises.

Great place for family fun!

Perfect location and well appointed home. Truly enjoyed the game room in the garage, the additional space down stairs, and the fire pit out back. It’s just a short ride to the golf course, lake, and amenities but secluded enough to feel out of the way. Would definitely recommend!

Spacious beautiful home!

The home has a great setup for lots of friends and family to join for a fun get away. The games in the garage are a huge plus for something fun to do while not out sight seeing or doing other activities that the area has to offer.

2025 Family Vacation

Nice property with great accomodations. Drawbacks included the fee schedule, lack of baking pans (muffin tins & 9x13 pan), small kitchen with small microwave & dishwasher, & lateness of stay confirmation which affected some being able to get off work. High points included well stocked bathrooms, game room, nice firepit, 3 bathrooms, 4 comfortable bedrooms.

The property was perfect for our group of 10 women. Only suggestion is to provide more bath towels. And check refrigerator which had trouble keeping things really cold. Very positive experience overall!

Nice home.

Overall, a nice roomy and comfortable home. Game room is a plus and a big hit for kids of all ages! Finished basement is large and good to spread out the group. Would like to see maybe bunk beds in the basement as the trundle bed in one upstairs bedroom makes the room too tight to move around. Kitchen seemed to have adequate supplies. Bathrooms definitely need more washcloths and towels as another reviewer had mentioned. We had to buy a pack of washcloths to use during our stay. Master bathroom has a walk-in shower. Electric seemed to be kind of funny in some areas of the house. Lights would blink occasionally. To correct this we had to flip the switch up hard and it stopped the blinking most of the time. Maybe it’s the kind of lightbulbs used? Location was quiet and area is nice to take a walk. Sitting areas outside are relaxing to view the wildlife.

The home was very nice and clean in a very quiet hidden away area! Be prepared for scenic curvy roads and be sure to bring your own breakfast and washcloths. This is a large home and would be great for larger families or groups!

This house was fantastic for our girls weekend for a bachelorette party. The girls loved the game room. The fire pit was lovely. The rooms had plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen had everything we needed. Utilizing the community pool was easy to use and the girls loved it. The rental provided a great value for what we were looking for. The only downside was the runners in the group were not expecting the hills on the trail system. But we just considered that good training.
