We had a great time here for Thanksgiving. The kids played non stop outside and in the barn. Very accommodating and comfortable, VERY CLEAN. There was plenty of space and privacy, there are 4 masters with en suite bathrooms which was a huge plus.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep. 2025
We stayed at this property with 7 families, and it was absolutely perfect for our group. The house was spacious, comfortable, and incredibly well-equipped – ideal for relaxing and spending quality time together.The pavilion area was a major highlight! With a pool table, table tennis, foosball, and a built-in bar, it created such a fun, party-friendly atmosphere. Everyone—from kids to adults—had a great time hanging out there.The location was also super convenient. Everything was close by, whether it was the water park or the river, so we didn’t have to worry about long drives or overplanning.On top of all that, the host was fantastic—very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. It really helped make the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.Overall, this home made our group trip stress-free and full of great memories. Highly recommend for large groups or family getaways!
