    Great place. Suberb location. Communication was very effective.
    10.0 / 10.0
    We had an amazing time enjoying this wonderful home. Plenty of space to hangout, play games and even do a private chef dinner. This accommodated multiple families with kids and there was tons of space for all of us. Also, conveniently located within a short drive to Palisades. The small river running through the back of the property was an added delight.
    10.0 / 10.0
    The Hunter cabinet was perfect for our group of six couples. Sitting area by the river was our favorite spot to “hang” when not golfing or fishing. Beautifully built Olsen home with custom amenities throughout. Well appointed kitchen with all you need. Only challenges were a bit of road noise and temperature.
    6.0 / 10.0
    Our stay was great and I would have given it a higher rating, but the property management company (Avantstay) has horrible communication skills! We asked for an early check in and I received 12 emails from them telling me to click on a site that was impossible to access! Just by chance someone was restocking the home when we arrived and let us in. I never received a welcome message containing any necessary info, which was a first! The home easily accommodated our party of 10, but one of the upstairs bedrooms had a bed that was so high that it needed a step stool to get into! My suggestion to VRBO is to hire a different management company.
