Relaxed atmosphere

The house was exactly what our group needed for a relaxing getaway weekend. We really enjoyed the pool and the fire pit. We made meals at the house and also went out to eat with lots of locations near by to choose from.

Absolutely the best!

The pictures don't do this wonderful home any justice. Very very clean amenities was outstanding. I loved the whole set up. I liked that they had tooth brushes in each bathroom in case you forgot your travel one. They was so professional and so nice I'm thinking about coming back in September.

Nice Property with a Great Backyard and Pool

We recently stayed at the property through and overall, had a good experience. The highlight of our trip was definitely the backyard and pool - it was clean, well-maintained and provided hours of relaxation and collaboration for our group (executive retreat). However, there were a few areas for improvement. Communication with the host could have been a bit better. Additionally, there were some minor issues during our stay. For example, the TV in one of the rooms was broken and could only be used if the lights were on (and even then did not work properly). The backdoor had a hard time locking. Despite these small hiccups, we would still recommend this property to others looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would rate this a 4.9 and if the host fixing the few small issues I would give it 5 stars!

Needs some work

Stay was nice. House needs some work. Some of the kitchen cabinets had holes in them due to what looked like someone punched them. Some cabinets did not work. Basketball hoop was in rough shape when we got there. It ended up breaking. However they came right out and replaced it right away. Some holes in the bathroom walls that need to be patched. Could use some more blankets in the house and on the beds. One of the lawn chairs was broken. The manager was very helpful and came out when call. Just need some work done to it.
