Great place and location for large group
Had a volleyball team of 22 parents and players stay at this home. Nice amenities and lots of space to sprawl out. The house host was very receptive to questions upon arrival and very happy with the quick responses.

Family gathering
I would give it 5 stars but for a few small things. The property is huge and well kept. a little more attention to the lighting would be beneficial. some of the family had difficulty seeing the entry drive. there were light fixtures out there that were not on and the groundskeeper did not know how to make them work. the light at the entrance near the garage was also not working and a trip hazard due to darkness there. all in all I would recommend it highly. In the summer it would be great with the use of the pool!

Recent stay review
I dont want this to be public. Beautiful home. But wasn't very clean. E.g., Some dishes in cabinets had food on them and otherwise were dirty. Very dusty everywhere. Deck furniture covered in leaves. It was odd and annoying that landscapers came out both Sat and Sunday with their loud machinery that interfered with privacy on the property both days; they came up into deck and blew leaves for 10 mins straight while guests in hot tub so that couldn't talk and awkward to have an outsider invade privacy. And they only cleaned off leaves on deck late Sunday afternoon so couldn't use the furniture entire weekend.

The house is amazing
Overall the house was amazing and we really enjoyed our time there. There were a couple of things the cleaners missed - e.g. I found a dirty qtip in the bin of qtips. I guess a past guest thought it was funny to leave it there? And the grill isn't being maintained. We cleaned it throughly, but it was absolutely disgusting. I gagged several times when emptying the drip tray, which was overflowing and moldy,

Perfect for large family gathering
We lost several family members and extended family members over the past three years. It was time to reunite, commemorate those lost and celebrate life. This estate was beyond all expectations for our family of 26. Including siblings, spouses, adult children, cousins and adult great grandchildren. Lasting memories were shared. It has everything you’ll ever want for beautiful accommodations. We highly recommend this fabulous estate. Thank you Devin for your attention to detail and for making us so very welcome! Very responsive manager.
