8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
We booked as a group of 10 for the weekend and the beds/bathrooms were all perfect. The kitchen isn't 100% suited for large groups in terms of the size/number of pots/pans provided. However, they had lots of plates/utensils/bowls which made the everything besides cooking very easy. The space is really large and accommodates 10 people easily. The hot-tub was unfortunately broken and we didn't know until we arrived. However, after troubleshooting with the host they were able to work through a partial refund which was heavily appreciated. Super responsive host and check in was smooth!

The house was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked enough to make simple meals. Hot tub was great! Wifi was slower than just using cell service, but the TV's still worked just fine.
