The pool was the highlight of the property! We appreciated how warm it stayed and the floats and towels provided. The kids in the family also enjoyed the tree house and barn toys.The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the size of each of the rooms. The kitchen was well stocked with mostly everything we needed. It would have been nice to have some plastic/kids cups to use.We were not aware that one of the bathrooms was only accessible through a bedroom, making logistics with a large family a little difficult. There were also a few cleaning things left unfinished when we checked in (wet towels and bath mats in the dryer, dishes in the dishwasher) and we would have appreciated a few more washcloths for the number of people staying in the house.The host was easy to contact when checking in and was quick to resolve the lack of hand soap and paper towels in the house. We had a question when checking out, but did not receive a response until after we had left the property.Overall, it was a great house for an extended family gathering and we really enjoyed our time there!

Our family of 12 really enjoyed our stay. The weather wasn't great but that didn't stop the fun. The awesome barn with golf, ping pong and other games filled our time. Having a heated pool was wonderful since the temperatures were in the 70's. One thing we were really impressed with was how stocked the kitchen/house was.There were plenty of places for us to sleep and the large family room was great for all of us to gather. The only negative thing was that there only 2 bathrooms and one was very small. Overall it was great, my grandson cried when we were leaving, he had so much fun.

This is a great space for a large group! We had a three-day family reunion, and everyone enjoyed swimming in the pool, playing games in the screened porch, and hanging out in the large sitting areas. The youngest family members loved the tree house, the playroom, and the swing set! It’s a comfortable, welcoming house that provides lots of outdoor space, parking spots, and privacy. I would recommend it!

We couldn’t find any forks and other utensils because they were left in the dishwasher. Towels were missing as well, as they were left in the dryer but whomever did the laundry. Hosts should’ve emptied the dishwasher and the dryer and not make us do that. Furthermore, the day before our trip we were given a list of requirements: stripping the beds, placing all towels in the laundry room, etc. We paid a cleaning fee and yet, we did housekeeping upon our arrival AND before leaving, per hosts demands. The property sits on an extremely busy road, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not your place. The noise is impossible all day and all night. Property is adequately equipped otherwise, but don’t expect the pool to be welcoming, as it is surrounded by mud and you are not allowed to touch the water heater, so it is not “heated”. Bedrooms are comfortable, with plenty of sleeping spaces for a large family reunion, but kitchen is somewhat lacking. Bring your own baking pans if you want to bake a breakfast because there is none. Bring your own paper towels also - you won’t find any. Mostly, arrive prepared to fold the towels left in the dryer and put dishes away left in the dishwasher.
