The house was exactly as described, spacious, comfortable, loved the pool, hot tub and game room. The host was very responsive and helpful. The kitchen has everything you could possible need/want. It was not a problem for us but future guests should know the entire pool is 5 feet deep and there are no floaties or life jackets so bring your own. A beautiful relaxing setting with all the comforts of home. Highly recommend!

Family
This property was amazing. My husband, myself, daughter in law and 2 grandsons stayed a week. We had many visits from my daughter and family. The game room was perfect and gave us space to spread out. The outdoor pool area was welcoming and good for the kids ranging from 3-6 yrs old. The kitchen provided everything we needed for meals and the location was excellent! The beds were super comfortable and each room was made to feel like home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend. Thank you for every detail you provided us!

Magnificent house
This house had everything a family could need and then some! The host was very responsive. We even enjoyed looking at the photography and painting. We enjoyed the hot tub and the outside veranda with comfy couches, TV and gas heater! Most important - the beds were extremely comfortable. Thank you for thinking of everything!

Mini Girls Trip
The property was just as listed. Super cute house with perfect set up indoors and outdoors! Hot tub was not working the first night. I reached out to property host to troubleshoot and he was very responsive. He had a technician out the next day. Technicians were very professional as we were already in the pool. After a few hours, the problem was fixed and he took the time to show us how to power it up for that evening. Hot tub worked great and was a perfect way to spend our last evening. We will book this property again!
