    This house is amazing! The owner and property manager have literally thought of everything and stocked this house with all the amenities, equipment, games, movies, and entertainment that you might want. This is our second time at the property (we booked this 4 years ago) and it impressed us how the house was so well-maintined and clean. The owner and the property manager were so responsive and professional in every way. We appreciate them so much.

    Our friends and family enjoyed an amazing Spring Break and emersed ourselves in the pirate life! Great movie room and plenty of sports and activities besides the amazing swimming pool, slide and rope swing! It really is like being at a resort yet far more comfortable! We left exhausted which is clear evidence of a vacation well spent! Property management was amazing and very helpful and informative.AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

    We had a fabulous girls' trip! The house is even better than the beautiful photos and all the rooms were so comfortable. Any questions were responded to promptly, and the whole stay was so easy and relaxing. WOW! We are already planning a return!

    We enjoyed this property so much and really appreciated and used the pool, hot tub, pickle ball court, theater, ping pong table, shuffleboard, the gym, children’s books, the excellent coffee machine, the smoker bbq, the sonos sound system and all the outdoor lounging areas. We had 10 children with us, ages 3 to 15 and they all had a blast with the pool slide and rope swing. We cooked every meal in house and found everything we needed except a cheese slicer. I, myself, owned a vacation rental company with 65 rentals for over 20 years so I have high standards and this home definitely earns 5 stars in every category.

    This house and property are beautiful. You feel secluded in the mountains with gorgeous views. The house was very well provisioned as well. Property manager was responsive as well. The fruit trees on property were a nice bonus. There is a guest house on property that they rent out separately. Thankfully we didn't have anyone rent it while we were there, but I don't think i would like someone staying on property considering the cost to rent the main house.

    We've stayed in a lot of hotels and rentals in our lives, but nothing matched what we experienced at this property. Like many of the reviews before me, it exceeded the photos, was every bit as cool as you'd hope and was the perfect place to spend a few days with family. We hosted a 50th anniversary celebration for my parents, with two siblings and 5 teenagers who are every bit as screen-focused and skeptical as teenagers nowadays. They were blown away. The rooms were amply sized and clean. Plenty of bathroom space, with no waiting in line for showers. Amenities like washer/dryer, grill, kitchen appliances and utensils, movie theater were all top notch - not a single complaint. The gourmet coffee maker was cool, as were the machines in the gym and shuffleboard game in the living room. But the thing that takes this property from a great rental to a place you'll remember for the rest of your life is the outdoor setup. We ate outside 3 days and never at the same table. Outdoor TV with heaters for the cool am and pm. Outdoor ping pong, multiple pickle ball courts, basketball, bags and the infinity hot tub were awesome. But the pool...oh, the pool. Grotto behind a waterfall. Water slide that amazed even teens because it is steep and you really move. Swinging rope into the pool. Swim up bar next to the grill and a fridge and place to plug in the blender. It just absolutely blows you away...as good as any resort. If you are on the fence, take the plunge...you won't regret it!!!!!!!!

    We were a large group of friends with small kids and the place was perfect for us. I cannot say much about the location and neighborhood area as we didn't really leave the compound :) Vrbo makes you rate it, so I gave it a 4 as I understand there are some neighbors who are "sensitive to anything that looks like a party". We experienced no issues with it though. Pool alone is worth it, but the place itself if also very modern, comfortable, well equipped and clean! Bryan was very responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend the place!
