Great location and get away.

Really happy with the house. You could walk to everything in the village. The bar/pool room was great and got used each night. Really comfortable furniture and, while not there to watch tv, on a rainy day it was great. Tons of channels and huge screens. Hot tub was used each night. Definitely stay again!

The overall stay. The proximity of the home was walking distance to village which was great. No TV in the second bedroom was very inconvenient. Overall the cleanliness was about a 2.

Spotless home steps from the Village

Great location, spotless house, everything as advertised. The hot tub was a struggle - we could not get it heated above 90 and we are wimps about cold. There are heaters in each room that can be loud switching on and off, but we figured it out. Other than those minor inconveniences the property is great and is right near the heart of the village.

Great Place

Came into town for the Polar Plunge, enjoyed the extras, the hot tub, the pool table, and playing darts. The decor, the comfy beds, and the location were absolutely wonderful. Our only gripe would be all the extra fees , almost doubled our bill. Wouldn’t mind some extra fees but felt that was excessive.

loved everything about it. only thing I would change is not having the bunk beds in the same room as the amazing master bedroom. I get that it makes sense for parties of 6, but for our family of 4 at least no one wanted to sleep in the second bedroom.
