• This how was agreat place to stay but had a few issues as well

  4/5

  This house is huge and has lots of amenities. You walk into the living room and it's a good size however it only has one couch and a chair. Alot of space is taken up by the piano and a small breakfast table. It would have been nice to have a 2nd couch There were alot of board and card games and video games supplied. The kitchen was spacious and well-stocked with dishes. Kcups, hot cocoa, smores kit, and even some paper products were supplied. Dining room had a large table with seating for 8. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were a good size. Water pressure was low for our liking in the showers. The listing said tolitries were supplied but we only saw a hodge podge of random toiletries and just a few rolls of tp. It seemed like something was up with the heat. The living room,movie room, and apt stayed freezing but the bed rooms were so hot. The movie room was nice and had many dvds. If you want to watch something other than what was provided you need to bring a laptop or your own dvds. I would recommend the owners add a roku stick to the movie room. The enclosed garage/hot tub room was always cold but it was fun. The one major issues here was the hot tub was dirty and there was no chemicals to clean it or Manuel on how to work the hot tub. We finally figured out how to turn it on with the help of Google. The apt was nice and spacious. There was a space heater but it blew the fuses. There were some upper windows that once the sun came up it was hard to sleep. Bring a sleep mask or maybe the owners could cover those windows. Noone stayed in the out building. It kinda smelled like a basement and there is no bathroom. Noone wanted to walk thru the yard in the winter.

  Overall our stay was good. I would recommended the owners add night lights in the hallways and near the stairs. We had 2 people fall because with the main lights off the stairs were hard to see.

• Family Memories

  4/5

  The whole family enjoyed their time bonding in this amazing cabin. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy by themselves or as a family together. We thoroughly enjoyed the lay out of the bedrooms and having the separate two bedrooms was a plus for our parents and a couple that was with us but the other family members loved their rooms just the same. In addition to space the movie room was a hit as well bc we enjoyed a movie together as a big family. Definitely book again here and would love to see their other properties listing. Convenient to everything that you would want to see and do.

• Lots of space for a great price.

  4/5

  The space in this rental worked out great for us. In fact, more people got to go on the trip and it was far less than a hotel. There were 11 of us in total and we still had extra sleeping space. The loft was a nice place to hide from the kids. The outbuilding with 2 queen beds is a dream for boys/men, there is no bathroom you have to walk through the yard to the house. . Keep in mind, there are only 3 bathrooms to accommodate all those beds. The “fully stocked” kitchen is a joke if you really cook and the grill was a huge mess I had to clean before we used it. We also ran out of trash bags and they were lots of active spiderwebs inside. However it was clean for the most part. The water and ice in the fridge did not work. When I contacted the manager they brought me batteries for all the remotes that were dead, but totally ignored the broken ice and water notice. Finally, the really cool piano is not tuned. Overall, it was nice and we had a good time.
