Four of the five bedrooms have an attached bathroom, and all are beautifully decorated.

Upstairs are two large bedrooms each featuring a Queen size bed and their own private full bathrooms.

We stayed here for our parents weekend getaway and it was amazing. The house was close to downtown shops and food while being out in the country where it was peaceful and quiet. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice place. The only complaint we encountered was that the temperature was not regulated. Much colder in lower level; while bedrooms were warm. Overall we enjoyed the property.

Excellent Experience!

This is the second time we have stayed at this home and would absolutely come back for another visit. Very clean, organized, and the rooms were perfect for us. One great benefit is that they don’t make you bring the garbages to the dump site, which is what we always had to do with previous rentals. It’s a small thing but great to not have to deal with at checkout. A experience!

Great house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this house twice in the past five years for a family reunion. Many larger houses in the territory are nice but show signs of age and where. This house exceeded my expectations. The carpet and flooring was replaced and everything was repainted since our last stay.

Great family Getaway

Our family of 12 enjoyed our stay. No complaints. Only recommendation is if planning to cook, bring spatulas and extra roll or two of paper towels if you have a large group. Otherwise everything else was fine.

Great house for our family weekend

The house worked great for our family. Loved the outdoor space with the hot tub, fire pit, deck and large lawn for playing games. We took advantage of the outdoor pool at the owner’s club, which was perfect for a hot weekend with the kids. Overall great location for our family.

Plenty of Room

Loved the big yard and the extended driveway. It gave the Grandkids plenty of room to play without us having to worry about anything. Rooms were nice and spacious as well. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it.

We have rented this same house so many times now that it feels like home! Plenty of space for the 11 of us to hang out and not feel claustrophobic. 😁

Loved it!

This property was a dream for our small family reunion. With enough bathrooms for every bedroom to have their own space, we never felt cramped. The kitchen and living room area had plenty of seating for all of us. It was clean, well-kept and overall a great area including the hot tub and fire pit in the back! Located on a quiet street with plenty of room in-between neighbors.

Weekend getaway

We had such a great time this last weekend! I treated my kids for an adults only weekend. The property was so spacious and had everything right there. We were snowed in for the weekend, so that only added to the ambiance! We had the fireplace going much of the time and played games much of the weekend. The hot tub was especially a hit!!

Space to gather and separate

We had 8 adults and 3 children ages 2,5, & 7. There was plenty of space for all to gather and to separate when desired. There is a lot of out door space for running around and we didn't need to be concerned about disturbing neighbors. The exterior needed some care, but it looked like they were starting on that project. The whole family had fun at the Owner's club swimming pool.

Weekend with Daughters/Granddaughters

The home is amazing. The bedrooms are very spacious and plenty of towels. Kitchen all appliances you would need. Living room furniture is quite worn and pillows shed feathers. This is the only year I have been charged by VRBO $150. Used for 5 years never had to pay extra.

This was perfect!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was very simple to book and it was exactly what I expected! The open kitchen and living room area was great for a larger crowd (11 people). We were all able to hang out in the same room. Also, the screened in porch was great! It rained all weekend and this allowed us to still get some outdoor breeze. The hot tub was easy to use and there were so many bathrooms that it was perfect for 11 women. I would stay in this house again!
