10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2025
Mansion was great! There were 27 of us staying and it never felt crowded. Whiffle ball out back, fishing on the dock, football games on TV in one of the downstairs family rooms, 1000-piece puzzle being worked on at one of the dining room tables, meals being prepared in the huge kitchen, all of this going on at once! we had a blast. This place was well stocked with ALL the kitchen tools needed, plenty of hot water, not a single complaint from any of the family or friends who stayed the 4 days with us. Love the originalness of a 100 year old mansion with modern conveniences.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2024
A group of ladies stayed at the house. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms with multiple kitchens. The house is 100 years old. It had a wonderful water view. The house requires some TLC both inside and out. We had an issue with pests inside the house. The manager brought traps but we still had issues with ants. The outside needed cleaning and the landscaping is overgrown.
