    We loved our stay!! We had a youth church retreat and had about 10 teenage girls and 3 adults. It was perfect for our group. The size fit us nicely, there were a lot of things for us to do, and we will probably book again!Pros:-pool is a good size with plenty of seating-rope swings throughout property were so fun for the teens-house was comfy for our size-AC was so nice-we could pick the temp that we wanted-host was so kind and helpful when we had an issue during our stay-Cons:-communication with host is not immediate, but helpful when does get back to you-spa heater didn't work-pool light didn't work-one of the 2 ovens didn't work and we really needed it-balcony's were shut off with plastic, so it got really hot if you wanted to sit on the balcony

    Where do I even begin? First, we were never told that the property had no cell service or internet. A whole caravan of us arrived only to realize we couldn’t access the check-in information or contact anyone for help. We had to drive 20 minutes back into town just to reach the property manager.Once we finally got in, things only got worse. The dishwasher was broken, the ceiling fans didn’t work, and the clawfoot tub in the master bathroom was unusable. The pull-out bed in the living room couch was completely broken and couldn’t be used. Maintenance was supposedly sent, but they were given no gate codes — so they just left and didn’t fix anything.The fire pit was located far down a steep path, beyond two gates, making it totally inaccessible — and frankly, it was a serious fire hazard with no safe setup.The home is MUCH smaller than it appears in the photos and was incredibly dirty. Whoever is supposed to clean between guests is doing a terrible job.To make matters worse, I had to deal with a property manager located in the Middle East, who called me at all hours of the night due to the time difference, disrupting my entire stay.As if that wasn’t enough, we were harassed upon arrival by a next-door neighbor accusing us of violating HOA rules by even being there as renters. We had to tell them to take it up with the owners.All in all, this was an awful experience and I cannot recommend this property to anyone. Save yourself the stress and stay elsewhere.

    Dozen men for spiritual retreat. Property was excellent for our needs. Bring your own paper towels, only one roll supplied.

    Excelent location in a quiet zone,beautiful house, responsive host. Having a pool on a hot July day was a bliss. Couldn't be happier with our stay. Thank you.

    Its a nice property but its definitely not for as many people as advertised. It has only 2 full baths. Also, that pets would need pre approval was not written in the description and was told about the day we were checking in. Luckily our dog is small and was approved. But one should note that the dog is only allowed to stay in the small laundry room at the entrance and outside patio which can get really cold. Without a dog, a small party would really enjoy this property. It was clean and big and has 2 full baths.

    Beautiful property in a nice area. We enjoyed the house and all the amenities. It was a great place for us all to get together.

    Let me start off by saying the two-star review seems a bit harsh. Here are my thoughts. Indeed, the pool lights go off at 9pm and you can't be loud past that time. The neighbors aren't super close, but I'm sure this property had issues with noise in the past and that probably ruined it for everyone going forward. The pool table and ping pong tables are smaller than your typical, but I thought the shuffleboard table was legit. The house was clean, no issues there. We had mild weather so I can't comment on AC. I'm knocking a star off as I think the hosts should post better-resolution pictures and remove all the close-up photos. Also, there are cameras out on the deck and pool area which is a bit lame, but I get it, you want to protect your property. I was also excited to try out the soccer field, but it's just a dirt sandlot right now so we ended up passing on that. Wiffle ball on the sandlot was a lot of fun though! Overall we had a really fun time here and there are nearby river/streams that I wish we had time to visit. We had a group of 13 and it slept us perfectly. You could easily squeeze a couple more people and the hosts were responsive to any questions we had.

    The house is in a private neighborhood. Which means the lighting in the pool area goes off at 9pm because apparently it means the neighbors can not sleep LOL. There is a small lamp that stays on but its crappy and broken like a lot of things in this house. The pool table, ping pong table and shuffle board are all miniature kid sizes. The photographs are ment to be tricky. The AC has a saved preset that you are unable to change so every so often the AC turns off and the heat turns on. The fridge and freezer were both dirty with food crumbs and a nasty smell so we had to clean it before using. The living room fan did not work and we were not offered any solution. There were shoes and used socks outside on the deck. You can request camera to be turned off which we did for the pool area and the management confirmed they would however the blue light went on randomly as they turned it on to randomly check in. The only good thing about this rundown house is the pool and even the pool needs to be resurfaced as it very sharp and scraping at the bottom. Not worth the money do not stay here. Very disappointed in my first VRBO experience.
