Our stay was wonderful, the location perfect, the facilities were beautiful, well laid out, and the host very accomodating. The few problem that arose,(a running toilet, a non functioning washing machine, and a broken hose timer), were taken care of promptly. The maintainence crew were friendly, polite, and efficient. The only dissapointment was that the fireplace was non-functioning, and that we were not notified that itdidn't work. We will definetly stay there again!

Plenty of space

The house was nice. The photos made the house look nicer. The outdoor area by the pool wasn’t clean. My bathroom smelled like urine. The furniture in the common areas was dirty and worn. The messages throughout the house were a great touch. We enjoyed them.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family stayed at this beautiful home for my great aunt’s 90th birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing! The house itself was stunning, offering the perfect setting for us to create memories that will last a lifetime. Seeing my grandmother so happy made the trip even more special.The views were absolutely breathtaking, and visiting in January was a wonderful choice—we got to experience the beauty of the area without the crowds. As the family planner, I can confidently say this will be my go-to spot for future gatherings.A huge thank you to Amber for being such an incredible point of contact and to the entire Bask team for ensuring our stay was perfect.

Amazing Vacation Rental fit for a crowd

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This well kept home is awesome, and I say home instead of house because that is how it feels. You can tell the owners use the house as well. It is very well stocked. More than enough dishes, plenty of kitchen items including 3 crock pots, 2 waffle irons, tons of large stock pots, a Keurig coffee maker as well as 2 with cone shaped filters. The beds were comfortable and most of the bedrooms quiet. There is plenty of refrigeration space for food and drinks! There is also an industrial ice maker that kept up with us (we use a lot!). The small refrigerator outside by pool was a great convenience. The pool has a big shallow end that was great for our several 1 year olds and little kids. It says 8 parking spaces but we had 12 cars and had plenty of room.
