    We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and there was soap, paper towels, Kleenex, and Tide provided for our use. We all enjoyed playing pool and shuffle board and few of us used the hot tub (it was really nice)!!

    Great condition of furniture and house. The number of beds was perfect for my family which included a few small kids. It was quiet and warm. The kitchen was very well supplied with good knives, lots of plates and glassware. The night before we departed we got about a foot of snow and the driveway was nicely cleared in the early morning, and again right as we were leaving

    We recently stayed at this property with a group of 4 adults and 3 teens. On the positive side, the home is in a great location with nice amenities (fee based), is beautifully decorated, had comfy beds and plenty of space. The game room and hot tub were the highlights for us. On the less positive side, the kitchen and baths are very dated, as was the deck furniture. Also many windows do not operate properly and lack shades which created privacy issues in the bedrooms and bathrooms as neighbors can see in. The kitchen is very minimally stocked so cooking wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been. Kudos, however, to the management company which was incredibly responsive to the few issues we had during our stay.
