Beautiful property, wifi is off and on, kitchen cooktop stove was iffy, bath towels were sparse and small. But overall was great. We did have to kill alot of asian beetles!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
The setting and grounds were lovely as was the house itself. There is nice separation between social areas upstairs and sleeping areas downstairs. The support staff responded to a request to check a smoke alarm within minutes and returned with supplies we mentioned were in short supply. Already planning our next visit.

We had an awesome time at this beautiful property. The swimming was not the best but had a great time with the kayaks and lilypod.
