10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We had a wonderful stay at this home. Check-in was seamless and the host was communicative and helpful throughout our visit. Every kitchen appliance you could think of, they had it. Downstairs was the kids favorite and all together a good place to hang out, play games and just enjoy each others company. The house itself was beautifully maintained, clean, and truly welcoming—perfect for a relaxing getaway.-A couple of small things to note: there wasn’t any closet space or dressers in either the master or the kids’ rooms, which made unpacking and organizing a bit tricky during a longer stay. Additionally, the master shower fluctuated between hot and cold water, which could be inconvenient. A slightly later check-out would also be a great touch, especially for families trying to get everyone packed up in the morning. Overall, these were minor things compared to how lovely and comfortable the home was. We’d definitely stay again and appreciate the hospitality!

Great house for our family get together. Plenty of seating for everyone to talk and play games. Well stocked kitchen with every imaginable appliance. Highly recommend!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
The house was great. The oven would not work so some of the food items we prepared we were not able to cook. The ceiling fan in the master needs to be checked it was making a very loud noise. The house was beautiful and everything was comfortable.
