The pictures do not do the home justice. Huge!! We had a fun group of 12 adults that had MORE than enough room for sleeping and private space. Bonus points for sharing the property with the resident beaver, he’s a doll in the morning. Don’t pass this rental by! We can’t wait to book again and stay longer to get a chance to enjoy the home more.

We stayed a couple nights and had a very enjoyable stay. We had 8 of us and had plenty of room and room to spare. The kids loved the pool table and games! We enjoyed the hot and sauna as well! Fire pit was a nice touch and was enjoyed! The host was responsive with any questions or issues. We really didn’t have any issues. The only drawbacks was a grocery store or a place to get some things for the house..It was a good 20-25 minutes to the closest Walmart or food store. The pillows were a bit high and fluffy for my liking and hurt my neck, but they had great bedding and plenty of extra blankets or linens which was very nice. The property owners club house was very nice to get to enjoy the pools and kids loved the basketball area/game room. So we over all had a great experience!
