*CLEANING FEE DISCLAIMER: We are disenchanted that we have a pass-through cleaning fee so high these days but w/ everything going on in the country w/ higher costs & labor shortages, this is our new reality. We understand that when this fee is split by the large groups that is nominal per-person but we want you to know our hearts are that we wish it wasn’t so high regardless of that. It is a very large house to turn over in such a short amount of time & weekend help is extremely hard to find help. We only have 1780 people that live here so we have to be the highest paid to retain the best & they are AWESOME! Conversely, we are pleased to remind you that we have so much included w/ this property (ask us for out Items Stocked List. Seriously, we provide SO much!). You don’t need to bring trash bags or paper goods. We stock enough for your entire stay, not just a starter amount. Bathroom & facial tissues, paper towels, trash bags, napkins, salt & pepper shakers, DW detergent, laundry detergent, aluminum foil, zip lock bags, plastic Saran-type wrap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, Q-tips, cotton balls, hand soap, kitchen sponges, & Dawn dish soap. We have hospitality boxes w/ all sorts of things guests may forget. Our guests have told us in reviews that all they need to bring is food & clothes. One last thing on cleaning: If you are going to check out on a weekday, please inquire if there will be a break in this fee. There is no way for us to separate it out so we would be happy to address on a case by case if you initiate. Thanks for considering booking this AMAZING property.

Exceptionally clean! Dave was a very responsive host and helped with every need we had. The different houses were perfect for our needs and the conference room worked well for our group. The views were beautiful and the fall colors perfect the weekend we were there. We'll definitely use this property again!

We had our wedding here and Destine was amazing! She did all of the setting up and tearing down of the chairs. The place was gorgeous and we loved the hot tubs and kayaks! The property was a little bigger than we expected so I would highly recommend getting the golf cart to run people around it’s totally walkable to the golf cart was super helpful!
