Peaceful Wood Haven - game room, fire pit, plus pool and tennis access

Welcome to Peaceful Wood Haven!

Atop the community of Mill Ridge, Peaceful Wood Haven is a completely updated home with five bedrooms, four baths, and a fabulous game room on the lower level.

Level entry from the gravel parking area into the home allows easier access. The beautiful kitchen with butcher block counters offer space to prepare your meals. Guests can sit in the dining room, at the bar seating, or in the breakfast table. Nearby is the living room with woodburning fireplace and comfortable seating around the television. All five TVs in the home offer Spectrum cable using the streaming app.

On the main level is a queen bedroom with TV. The full bathroom with tiled shower opens to both the bedroom and the hallway. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom has king bed, a full sleeper sofa, and a private balcony. Attached is a full bathroom that includes a tiled shower with body sprayers. To the other side of the upper level are two bedrooms that share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The queen bedroom has a TV, and to the other side are a Twin over Twin and Twin over Full bunks. The lower level has a bedroom with two sets of Twin over Twin bunks. Attached is a full bathroom and the washer and dryer.

The lower level also includes a game room with pool table, a free-standing foosball table, and a Queen murphy bed. Lounge on the large sectional with your friends, or break out the board games on a rainy afternoon.

Outside, enjoy the main level decks, relax in the hot tub, or stroll by the waterfall on your way to the trailhead, located next to the parking area.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
So to start things off, to get here was stressful enough (which we know isnt your fault, we arent blaming you) but when we finally got here, we were surprised to find that the state of the house was terrible. Most of the beds weren’t made, with the sheets and pillows on the floor, the bathrooms were extremely dirty, and trash was everywhere. I am staying here with 4 children, one a 5 month old baby, and the house isn’t in hygienic condition to even stay at this house with the children. I have multiple pictures of everything to prove this. The sheets were on the floor, so i don't think thats considered "clean". Do not bring anybody here tomorrow since today we had (and still have to) clean up the house to be able to sleep here. We had to disinfect beds, bathrooms, even kitchens, because at this point, we feel that everything could be contaminated. As i said earlier, i have the photos, so i will be giving a complaint to Expedia and my bank about this incident.

A wonderful visit!

The house was beautiful, exactly what we expected based on the pictures. We had a wonderful time! It was the perfect spot to hangout with friends and go to Sugar Mountain.
