We used this property to celebrate our parents 60th wedding anniversary with 27 people in attendance. The houses were cleaned very well, the space was very nice. The main house (Lavender House) was spacious enough to accommodate all of us for meals and celebration events. Lavender house kitchen was well stocked with dishes etc. Pool area was nice and spacious for all of us and was where we spent most of our time. We had one person using a walker which was pretty manageable even with sunken living room at Lavender house but a wheelchair may be a little tough. A sidewalk to the pool would make it easier but we managed. The air conditioners worked very well. Beds in all houses were very firm, but only a few complaints. The exterior of the property seemed to be in need of repair in a few places such as bunk house porch to pool and Lavender house decks. One thing that would be helpful in the listing is to break down pictures by house to show bedrooms, bathrooms, dining, and kitchen areas for each house separately for better planning purposes before we arrived at the property.But all-in-all, we had a great time and the property supported all of our people and activities very well and the interaction with the host was very very good!!!Thanks,rc
