    What a beautiful, amazing house. Some rentals don't live up to the pictures/description, but wow this house did! The pool, hot tub, and water slide were super fun. The game room, gym, and theatre room were wonderful. Great views of the area, and a well-stocked kitchen for cooking.

    We all had a great time. The owners really think of everything to make your stay as fun and easy as possible. Truly a great property. 20 of us fit very comfortably. This is our second time staying here and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Definitely one of our favorite places to vacation.

    Our 3-generation family of 18 spent a week at this wonderful oasis. We've been vacationing together for ten years and everyone agreed this was the loveliest and best-equipped home we've enjoyed. The pool was, of course, the biggest draw. The game room and the piano also saw a lot of use. We definitely hope to return in the future.

    We had a fabulous week. The house is spectacular and the pool with a slide is a real highlight. Our grandkids couldn’t get enough of the slide.

    We've been taking our family on a yearly vacation for around 20 years. We have grown into a family of 19, including children, teens, adults, married couples & seniors! Everyone absolutely loved it! There was more that enough room! We were all so comfortable in our rooms & so many areas to hang out, inside & out. I can't begin to tell you how much our family enjoyed not only the space, but also all the things this home had to offer. From the huge game room, amazing theater, music room (someone was in there almost constantly), infinity pool with incredible slide, basketball court, numerous balconies...must I go on? Everyone's favorite!! Already planning on returning next year!! Steve is a gracious host and always available to answer any questions we had. Thank you so much!!

    We had our family reunion with 20 persons between 18 and 87. The house was perfect and worked for everyone. There was space to be together as a large group and other areas for smaller groups with privacy when needed. The supplies were fully stocked including trash and storage bags, foil, etc. We always make the majority of our meals during the reunion and the kitchen was fantastic. Room to prepare as a group, large gas burners, several ovens and with the additional fridges in the garage, everything was kept cool. Thank you Tammy and Steve for a wonderful experience.
