Fun getaway

We had so much fun here. The house was so clean and accommodated all needs. I have never used vrbo so when I had questions the host was so helpful. We had a lot of very young kids between the ages of 7months to 6 years and they all had a blast! The pool was a popular favorite for all of us. Overall, it was a beautiful home that allowed us to make some really great memories spending time with extended family. Would highly recommend!

Great place to stay

We had a great time. Many trails for riding. The pool and hot tub were amazing. We had all age ranges from 5 years old to teenagers and we all had a fantastic time. Definitely recommend!

Excellent Family Stay!

Stayed with our adult kids and their families - 16 of us in all! The house was big, clean and well stocked with everything we needed! Plenty of space to spread out. We really enjoyed the outdoors - from the backyard cooking and entertainment area to the the entire isolated community which is quiet and full of wildlife. The only non-positive comment is that the dumpster is a 1/2 mile trek down the road. Be prepared to place the bags in your trunk if you do not have a truck. Not a big deal - just be prepared. This place is in the woods - and it's worth it!

Gem

Our family of 13 absolutely loved this home. Katrina was so helpful and accommodating. The house itself is even better in person, plenty of space to spread out, and configured so everyone could find privacy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything a foodie group could want and then some. Linens and beds were very comfortable, and even the allergy sensitive ones in our group were comfortable. (The laundry products are lightly scented) 0There are tons of extra toys and things for the littles and even the older kids had games and things to keep them busy. All in all a real gem.
