10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This house grows on you. At first, you notice the online photos look exactly like the house but somehow you’re still surprised by what you find. The layout is unique. Sleeping areas are spread throughout the house making use of all areas. We had 16 people, 10 adults and 6 kids, aged 2-75. The kids loved the house size and different gathering areas, playing hide and seek each night we were there. The electronic games were fun, as was the pool table. The main bathroom is in an awkward central location but two additional half baths make this considerably less important. The dressing room was a big hit for getting ready, well lit with great mirrors.Plenty of towels and bedding provided.There is plenty of seating for meals. A built-in oven, nice side by side frig, microwave, dishwasher, lots of plates, bowls, cups, glasses and silverware. The cooktop has been replaced by a good sized griddle and a separate two burner hot plate. This configuration was a bit challenging for our large family meals but we figured it out. There was an ice machine on the counter and the frig also had water/ice but we never used those.The theatre room was incredible. There were several streaming services ready to go and we watched the final game of the World Cup on the movie screen.The house was clean and the host was easy to reach and check in & out went smoothly.

Lots of great spaces to enjoy. Kind of a strange layout, but if you are looking for a one night party house, this is your place in Blono.
