Not as Advertised
Advertisement focuses on fantastic pool experience. Upon arrival you are notified the pool use is restricted to 3 hours / night, and 1 hour for the waterfall. You can buy more time for 40 per hour (not disclosed in the listing). We had to text the owners and ask permission to turn the spa and waterfall on. Felt like we were being supervised.Refrigerator was not cold, no ice maker.You get 1 propane bottle, So when your family wants to sit by the fire pit (which requires a propane bottle), and dad want's to use the BBQ to cook dinner, you must shut down the fire pit (family leaves and goes inside) and Dad is out cooking alone.... Also there is no lighter for the fire pit, so we had to buy our own.Our gate code didn't work so we had to wait text and call the homeowner several times to get in and out. Again supervised not welcomed.There is a caretake who lives on the property in an metal building about 60 yards from the house. He really likes the weedwacker. Such a lovely sound when you're trying to relax with your family.Keruig coffee maker didnt work.The "welcome book" said under no circumstances can we put the Air Conditioning below 73 degrees. The thermostats had similar signs.Day of Checkout before my kids were even awake the homeowner asked if the cleaners could come in and take the bed sheets, I said NO. We were greated by dirtly looks at 10 when we were loading our car.Not a good experience. Definitely not worth the price....

Unique property in a great location
My siblings and I enjoyed visiting this unusual property. We didn’t have an opportunity to use the pool or hot tub, due to the season, but they looked like fun. The true down side was the obtuse check-in process and invasive contract demands. This may be the result of previous bad experiences, but ultimately left us feeling uncomfortable. We were not given a front gate code until we walked through and confirmed the home was acceptable, then the given code was inaccurate. This was quickly resolved with a couple of phone calls, but annoying given the hoops we already had to jump through. Management informed us that even visitors must be announced, with first/last names and included in the occupancy; implying a desire to charge more for people not even sleeping there. Yet there was no mention of reduced rates with lower occupancy than originally planned. The location worked well for our needs on this trip, but I will likely seek an easier option when visiting the area in the future.

Private, Secluded, Fun for the whole family
The property was beautiful and clean. Communication with management was clear and I appreciated the quick responses. Lots of room for plenty of people. I booked for an overnight stay for my 14 year old daughter's birthday with her 6 friends. They enjoyed the spacious property and hot tub (weather was too cold to enjoy pool). Plenty of rooms to choose from. Will try to stay there during the summer and use pool and huge backyard for a barbeque. Flexible with late check out. Friendly vibes from management.

Great spot but BYO water and disposable items
Everyone loved this location. The property is fantastic for families and large groups. The water situation is a huge bummer. We used bottled water for everything, including brushing our teeth. The owners are communicative and friendly. The dishes, utensils and cookware are cleaned and maintained by people renting like us, and they were all filthy. Just be prepared to bring multiple jugs of water and I recommend disposable plates, utensils etc. Its a shame bc the place is basically otherwise perfect. I still do recommend and would go back, prepared with this knowledge.

House/pool were amazing
The house was spotless. The kitchen was large and well stocked. The pool/spa/slide/grotto and entire backyard were amazing, entire group loved it. The large front room was great for gathering a big group. The location was secluded which is exactly what we wanted. We would absolutely stay there again. The only negative (which is notated on the listing) is that the 6th bedroom is really just a shared room with the Master bedroom, but we made it work and it was a great time. Check in and communication with the host was very easy.

This was the second year we stayed at the house for our annual girls weekend away. Everything was so easy from completing the paperwork, checking in and communication with the host was excellent. Simple text to turn on the hot tub and the water slide and any other questions was seamless. Our group loves the spaciousness of the house and backyard. The pool was perfect temperature and it made lounging around all day catching up with our friends so fun & relaxing for our long weekend. Everything in the listing was there at the house.

Disappointed
The property was beautiful especially the back yard pool, slide and hot tub. That is the reason we booked this house. Is to hang out in the pool and let our grandkids enjoy. However the hot tubs could only be turn on for 3 hours without having to pay extra. It was absolutely ridiculous. I had to text when I wanted it on. So so disappointing to have to plan when we wanted to play. I have never been to a vrbo that I was so upset at. We had a wedding to go to that lasted until 9:30 pm. We wanted to come back to the house and enjoy the hot tubs, but we couldn't because they had already been turned on for the day. The water on the slide could only be on for an hour. My grandkids were very very upset. We had talked about our get away and that pool and waterslide for months. Imagine how upset they were! I don't know why the owners cant have a switch for the waterslide and hot tub and put them on a timer so they will go off if people forget or if people want to play then they can. We were all just very very upset. Not a great get away!!

Great Golf Getaway
The property was beautiful. Everything yoiu would need was provided. It was off the beaten path so very quiet and woodsy. Our group of 9 were high school buddies (50 years ago) having our yearly golf trip. Several golf courses within 15 min and after a round of golf in the warm weather, the pool was a life safer. Everyone staying there said the accomodations were beyond their expectations.

Awful Service and Inaccurate Listing, but Nice Property
- Our landlord was VERY inconsiderate, making us wait at the gate in the rain for 20-30 minutes, despite knowing we were there. I had initially submitted a waiver for 12 people but needed to update it for 8 after some people had to drop out. She demanded a resubmission with the exact count before letting us in. In a rush, I altered the document in the car, only for her to then insist on a handwritten signature instead of a digital one. Scrambling to find a pen and redo the document added to the frustration.
- She was ridiculously stingy about the hot tub usage. Both days, we were shorted on time. The first day, she claimed it was heated, but it was cold after an hour. Only after another complaint did she start it again, yet counted the unusable time against us, leaving us just 2 hours of heat. The next day, cold water started shooting into the tub after 2 hours, and by the time she fixed it, we had moved on.
- The property listing falsely advertised a heated pool, which was, in fact, unheated.
- The front door lock was broken, and her property manager couldn't fix it, forcing us to use the back entrance.
- Also, one of the "bedrooms" is actually a bed inside a walk in closet. Very creepy/weird setup

Stayed over for one night with friends and family. All our guests loved the large space to connect. The little ones loved the space to run around as well. There was a basketball hoop, bowling ball + pins, and tetherball for the kids to enjoy. The large living room was perfect for everyone to come together after the day was over!
