Lovely Getaway

Loved the cabin for a mini-getaway for a few nights! Beautiful, spacious, and clean! Kids and adults loved the game and movie room, the pond for fishing, and, of course, the pool! Absolutely recommend this spot for families and/or friend groups looking to relax and have fun.

I couldn't recommend this place more! They thought of everything... From the kitchen layout (two dishwashers and two refrigerators) to the game room to the little details (q-tips stocked in the bathrooms and pool toys ready for the kids), we couldn't have asked for a better house. Everything was clean, organized and meticulously thought through. We had 4 adults and 9 kids and all 9 of us talked about rebooking here again!

Great place for family!

We stayed a couple weeks ago with our family, with kids 6 and under. The house was clean and ready for us and amenities were great! The kids loved swimming and the hot tub, and exploring the property. Host was responsive and easy to get in touch with! She even mailed back a kindle we left. Would definitely recommend staying!

We had 10 women stay for our low-key Girls Trip. This house is perfect for hanging out and relaxing. The huge dining table allowed us to eat and play games. The theater room was perfect for nightly reality show watching parties. The pool was large and the perfect temperature. We were surprised we even used the hot tub each night in the middle of July. The primary bedroom and bathroom were extremely large and allowed the women staying in the bunk beds to store their suitcases and get ready. The house was pristine, large, and even better than we imagined! Highly recommend this house for a getaway!

Annual Girls Weekend Away

Ten of us women gathered here for our Annual Girls Weekend Away (AGWA). It was a fabulous stay and we took full advantage of the heated pool, hot tub, expansive kitchen and nearby hiking. The game room and theater were fun additions that we didn't use much, but we would have if we brought our kids (the exact reason why we need an annual getaway). We would consider returning, but we change locations every year. We highly recommend for family reunions as well as adult friend gatherings!

Fun for the whole family

What an amazing place! Everyone was happy and had plenty to do. The pool was in use constantly and so was the game room. (We had extremely hot weather.) It’s not always easy to entertain such a variety of ages, but this place did it. The kids (and adults) caught fish, played board games, formed a pie crew, played hide and seek in the dark….the list goes on and on. Every room was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. Be aware that the kids can still hear house noise when in the bunk beds. The owners thoughtfully provided earplugs and eye masks for each bunk bed. I highly recommend this home.
