There were 10 of us, ages 4 through 68, staying at this property. Everybody had fun and had something to do. We all especially enjoyed the game room and played lots of ping-pong, shuffleboard and basketball. The hot tub was nice. But it was so hot when we were there, we only enjoyed it one evening. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were plenty of glasses, plates, pans, etc. They even included some K cups for the Keurig machine. They provided plenty of laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, etc. it was also nice that sound machines were provided in the bedrooms. The house was decorated very nice. It was very hot and muggy for the three nights we stayed at the house, but the air conditioner kept the house very cool.The one bad part was towels. There were not enough bath towels for everyone to have one! We had brought beach towels (because we were going to the waterpark at adventure land) so some of us used them when we showered. We also did not find any kitchen washcloths to use so ended up using one of the makeup washcloths that they had provided and a sponge in the kitchen.We would definitely recommend this house to other family groups or groups of friends. We are very comfortable there!

Super great space for a family reunion from 3 different states and 4 generations!! Great space, layout and location that you couldn’t have gotten at a hotel and the game room was fabulous!!!

There's so much to do here that our kiddos didn't want to leave!! The place has a great layout, lots of considerate touches and was very clean. We had a few small issues, mainly link took us to wrong address so make sure to look at written address and not use the link. The host was very responsive and addressed every small thing we had come up. None of which impacted the enjoyment of our stay. My 8 year old son said "definitely 10 out of 10". Will happily bring my family back!!
