8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
Communication with the host was great, very prompt. The home was great and definitely had the space our group needed. The pinball machine did not work, and it would've been nice if there were food storage options (ziploc bags, foil, or bowls with lids). With such a large group, there was a lot of food leftover, needed to put away. Hard to bring things home.Otherwise, the home itself is beautiful. Thank you and we plan to be back next year.

A great place to gather with an active family. The radiant floor heat made a big home warm and cozy.
