The pond house is a great place for a large family or a group of friends. To start, Reí, who manages the property, was very welcoming and helpful. The property is very spacious, clean, and well stocked with the basic necessities. I would highly recommend this FIVE STAR rental.

We were very pleased with the Pond House. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment. The beds were firm, thank goodness. We enjoyed the pool! My son had to walk quite a way to reach a bathroom but he was ok with it. He wished his glass double door to the pool had a blind or curtain for privacy and darkness.It's spacious. We ate our meals in the back sunroom and never even used the dining room. My other son and wife and 2 children used the master bedroom with its king bed and ensuite. He rented two air mattresses for the kids which worked out fine.We had a party of nine, and everyone seemed very happy with the property.

If we could give 10 stars we would! The home was spacious, beautiful and quite literally has everything we needed and more. We chose this rental because our youth football league was playing at the Swamp. Traveling with kids and a dog can be difficult finding the right accommodations and we are so glad we chose this one. Great communication, check-in/out was seamless and we had more than enough space. 10 out 10! We will definitely be re-visiting in the future
