Stayed a weekend for daughter’s bachelorette. Absolutely beautiful home with a spectacular view! Entire place was extremely clean and very comfy and enjoyable. Fully stocked kitchen made cooking easy and fun. Beds were very comfortable and host replied to our questions immediately. The pool area was super nice as well. This is a wonderful place to stay for any occasion! Highly recommend!

This is a great property. We visited for a family summer trip and we were very happy. The pool was a big hit with the kids, sitting around the fire was great, and some of the group had a good time with pickle ball. The view was great and this was probably the cleanest property we've stayed at during our yearly family vacation.

We had an excellent two-night stay as a group of six grown men. The amenities offered (pool, hot tub, ping pong table, pickleball court, patio, fire pit, pool room TV, etc.) were fantastic for our group. George communicated clearly and helped me when I couldn't figure out the upstairs A/C. We lucked out with gorgeous mid-May weather, but the property would still be amazing if your group was confined to the indoors only. Five stars, without question!
