This has become our perfect summer get away with family and friends! Feels like a nature preserve secluded in the the middle of the bustling city. With easy access to restaurants and the highway this is our go to place in SA! We love the vintage nostalgia of the home with sliding glass doors and the pool table. Tons of windows to watch the deer and foxes play in the yard. With tons of trees for shade and hammocks. The quiet hum of nature as you soak in the pool, and the tennis/pickleball court for a fun family tournament!!! Thanks to Marco and Edgar for always making sure we have exactly what we need!

Although this property is beautiful, it is in desperate need of attention. The grounds were unattended to. Weeds and overgrown grass all around. The wildlife was enjoyable to see but it was hard not to notice the lack of care all around. There were many cobwebs and dirt covered walls. The home itself could be so beautiful if it was taken care of better. It reeked of mold and mildew and was constantly damp feeling. All showers backed up with water and were not very clean. The kitchen was absolutely awful, it felt damp and smelled. All of the drawer pulls are rusted and look filthy. Refrigerator also smelled terrible and ice we put in the freezer quickly smelled and tasted nasty in a very short time.The sink was dirty when we arrived. Food was caked in the drain and there were noodles stuck to the sink. The pictures do not convey the level of disrepair the house is in. We were also so disappointed by the lack of adequate function of the pool filter. It was cloudy and full of debris the whole time we were there. I now understand why there are no reviews since 2024. I spent over 3k to stay in this house and was pretty disgusted the entire trip. I have added pictures of the mold growing on the curtains in room with pool table.
