Secluded 6BR Estate w/ Indoor Court & Heated Pool

We were very happy with the size of the house. It was large enough for our entire group to move around and feel comfortable. We loved the gym and pool room. We were pleasantly surprised to find everything supplied in the gym. It was a great weekend for all of us.

Excellent layout and amenities.Entire group loved the pool and hot tub. The Gym got a lot of use from the kids and some adults. Communication with and response from owner was excellent. We had a GREAT stay.

The space for a large family getaway weekend was great. With the basketball court, pool and hot tub there was something for everyone to enjoy! It was great having two full size refrigerators and plenty of tables and chairs for eating and playing cards. My family had a great time. We were able to meet Jim the owner. He was very accommodating!

This house had it all. Indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, basketball court, and several beds. Highly recommend staying here.

We were super excited to book this house for our first ever family vacation. Upon arrival we were very disappointed as the pictures online were not a correct representation of the house. The floors were not swept, not mopped and the carpets weren't much better. While this wouldn't normal be a big deal, we didn't want to spend our our first vacation in 3 years cleaning a house upon arrival, especially after having to pay a pretty large cleaning fee. The indoor pool area is very slippery and there are a lot of cracked very sharp tiles that resulted in multiple people cutting their feet even with laying towels down. We ended up running out to buy duct tape to put over the tile to eliminate the issue. Upon checkin we were informed the hot tub was broken and the jets did not work. Prior to check-in we were informed the outdoor pool is closed for the season the week after Labor Day, this would be helpful if listed on the website. We never did find the 5th bathroom and the 3rd full bathroom is in the pool area. This would be a great rental house if the price point was cheaper but for the money we payed our expectations were set much higher than what this house offered. We've used VRBO for many vacations and this was the first time our expectations were not met.

Jim is wonderful to work with and very accommodating. We rented out the house for a small wedding. We had several family members who were coming from out of town, so it worked out perfect that everyone could stay in one place and not have to spend additional money on hotel rooms. Of course it decided to rain, so our outdoor wedding ended up inside (so it was great to have the gym area). The kids loved the indoor pool as it was getting cold outside and the outdoor pool for closed for the season. We had all the kids stay downstairs and the adults couples had plenty of room in the bedrooms upstairs. I wish I could post pictures so you could see how beautiful the scenery was for our wedding pictures. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely rent the home again for a large family get together or even a weekend getaway with the kids and some of their friends. It has plenty of space to accommodate everyone.

we had a great time. We had 15 in our family 10 adults and five grandchildren lots of room ,pool was 86degrees nice hot tub nice and big . Gym worked out well for kids and adults there was a couple of leaks from skylites on gym floor but not a big deal dryer came in handy for drying wet pool towels. We will for sure go back

We rented this home for our yearly family reunion and loved every minute of it. No it is not in perfect condition...it's a rental in a college town. Decorating is dated in some areas but it was comfortable and a great layout with lots of space for all. The beds were clean, seating area is great and the pool and hot tub access are wonderful. The gym was great for working off the holiday calories. It snowed so I have no idea what the yard or outside pool are like. I didn't leave the house for 4 days and was never bored. Jim was easy to communicate with and even left us a welcoming pie. Our whole family has requested we use this again next year. Thanks Jim

This is the ideal house for our family Christmas get-together. The basement DID NOT smell like mildew (my wife is super sensitive to that, and she had no issues). The upkeep of the building is about average, nothing that sticks out as obviously needing repair, but it is well used. The Indoor pool is awesome, but if you rent the property in the wintertime, keep in mind that using the hot-tub/pool makes the humidity approach 100%, this makes the bball court slick (this can be easily taken care of by opening a couple doors for 10 mins, and then allowing the heaters to kick on and warm up the (now low humidity) air). I initially thought that we would have to watch the young ones like hawks since there is an open pool, but fortunately the pool is separate from the main gathering areas, and plus it has a cover that would probably support anyone under 150lbs. The bball court had balls and the young ones thoroughly enjoyed using that area. (if you have young kids, bring along a trike... the ball court is ideal for this) If you are serious about your basketball, this is the place to go. The house was VERY clean (must be a cleaning service), and was very spacious. All the bedrooms seemed pretty much soundproof, so if some of you are night owls, you won't keep others awake. At one point we invited some extra friends and family over, and we had about 30-35 people in this house. It swallowed us with no problems. The house has its own washer and dryer, which were indispensable (we probably did 7 loads in the 5 days that we were there) The hottub is a nice one, and it comfortably seats 6. Close to Autozone, and several restaurants. All in all We LOVED IT!

Our family had the best vacation ever, we had such a great time we want to go back! Our party had an array of ages from 60 plus to 1 year old and we all laughed and blended well with each other. My fiance had his whole family there and so did I and it was such a great bonding experience! The estate is absolutely amazing, it feels like you are in your own little world. We did all kinds of outdoor activities, roasting marshmallows at story time around the campfire being one of the kids favorites! Fireworks after bar b q on the deck was awesome! The outdoor pool water slide was a fabulous hit for everyone and really fun! The indoor pool was amazing, swimming in a heated pool while our favorite tunes played on the surround sound was great. Or if you wanted to go into the hot tub and relax you can do that too! I want to mention how you can swim and watch a football game on the flat screen also with surround sound! Now where all of the men in our party was at the most, the basketball court. There is a indoor half court basketball court. It was totally awesome!!! We had all kinds of pick up games all throughout the day! Very entertaining!!!! The inside of the estate is just as lovely as the outside. There is a unique pit room where all of the children watched tv. It was great because as the ladies cooked in the kitchen we could look over the pit and see the children. The living room was very nice and spacious with also a view of the outdoor pool to check on the children. Overall our family is very excited to go back and Mr. Wiseman was such a great help in every way. We loved the Wiseman house and would encourage anyone to stay.

It was everything we could ask for! The house layout is perfect, lots of places to gather together! Everyone was entertained with all the amenities it offers, It was a perfect fit for our entire family and visitors! We will rent it again next year, we have stayed and looked at alot of homes and none compare to this one!

We stayed in this rental from the 2nd of April to the 5th of April. It was so huge! There was eight of us and three teenage girls. The beds were extremely comfortable, the inside pool was just great and my husband loved the hot tub. Even though this house is in a neigborhood, you can't tell you have neighbors. The deck was great for grilling out and for the girls to catch some rays. Eating breakfast and looking out into the huge front yard was awesome too. Every morning we had a visitor..neigborhood bunny. The stereo sound system in the pool area was great too. Once the girls found a good station I dont think the music was ever turned off and the people in the mail house could not hear the music. Basketball court and tennis court was great too.

Our family including children, spouses, and grandchildren, just spent one week in this home. It was in town, yet so secluded we felt as if we had no neighbors. We had easy access to many activities, with a wonderful local grocery store three minutes away. It had plenty of room to sleep 14 (four families). The yard was large and the back lot was fenced in, which made it nice for families with small children. The pools, tennis courts, hot tub and basketball court were very clean and well-kept. The owner of the property even stopped in mid-week to check the pool. The home was clean too, could use some updating, but was still very nice. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would rent it again if we went to that area. .

Pros -Enormous house with plenty of room to spread out -Large, modern kitchen with plenty of seating -Great little nooks like the sunken TV room -Plenty of beds and bedrooms -Jim's willingness to allow you to have a large number of people for one price -Variety of activities on site: pool, hot tub, tennis court, gymnasium -Very secluded -Lots of towels Cons -Landscaping is a weedy mess. The pictures make it look very flowery and beautiful. That is no longer the case. It’s now overgrown with 3 ft tall weeds. -The house was very dirty despite having just been cleaned by a cleaning service. -Lots of mildew growth in the indoor pool house -We arrived thinking we would have access to everything on the site, but the outdoor pool was being repaired, so there was just a large gaping hole outside. Thankfully, we didn’t have children there. It would have been a huge hazard if little ones were present. It would have been nice to know about this BEFORE we arrived. We did have the indoor pool. -Hot tub needs a railing or non-skid stickers. One of the ladies slipped on the step and fell into the hot tub. She had several injuries. -Bed linens were used and one comforter had white crusty stuff. We washed all our linens and remade the beds before sleeping. -Filthy, stained, stinky pillows. -Lots of exposed electrical wires inside and on the pool deck. -The basement has a corner that leaks. When you get out of the bed, you step on the wet carpet. Also, that bed is held up on 1 corner by a phone book. -Filthy fridge with lots of spilled mess in it. -All outdoor sliding glass doors have broken locks, so the property is unlocked at all times. -The basement smells strongly of mildew Overall, would I stay there again? If all the hazards were repaired, yes. As is, no way. I also think Jim needs to hire a new cleaning service. The house has obviously seen its fair share of college parties and I don’t blame Jim a bit for adding no décor or breakables because of that. We felt very deceived about the outdoor pool and we should have been told about that up front. He emailed me later to tell me that he cleaned the mildew in the pool house and sealed the exposed wiring. Jim offered us a refund of $250 plus ½ the cleaning deposit. We felt that was fair and gladly accepted it. I sure hope he keeps this place in a little better shape. It could have a lot of charm.
