We had a great time at this property. We had a large group with pets and there was plenty of room for all. Lot of games for the adults and kids. My grandchildren are already asking to go back next year. Kitchen had all the amenities that we needed. The property was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. Julie the property manager was in touch with us the whole time and made sure we did not need anything. Also she gave us some suggestions on things to do. Very helpful. We will be back!!

A cozy retreat that offered enough privacy for 7 adults and 2 little ones plus some dogs. The place was stocked with enough fun things for the family and plenty of comfort. We brought some gates for inside to contain dogs as needed and prevent little ones from the steps. We had a great time.

Host was welcoming and everything was fine. Lots of space to spread out. A few of the mattresses needed an upgrade. We didn't realize the fridge had a problem until the morning after loading it up and we found a lot of frozen food that couldn't be saved. Reservation details are inaccurate. Checked in on Dec 23 and left a day early on Dec 25.

Overall the property had a lot of amenities and inclusions - we probably packed more than what we needed. The host was very accommodating and responsive. Some things we didn't enjoy was the squeaky bunk bed downstairs. You couldn't move without the bed squeaking really loud. There was also a high pitched noise that would happen and wake us up - I think it's related to the heater. A lot of the outlets needed to be changed out - very loose and our plugs would just fall out. The air hockey table turned on but there wasn't enough air coming out so that we could play.We did enjoy the jacuzzi, pool table and ping pong table. The fireplace worked nicely and our group had a great time.
