We really enjoyed our stay the place was beautiful. We loved how everything was set up. The instructions were very clear and we loved that. Easy to get into and easy to get out of.

We had a great stay. The hot tub and fireplace really made our days, and the fire logs were a nice surprise. Our child also enjoyed playing with the toys. It was too dry this week to use paddle boat, but that’s understandable and didn’t affect our stay.

We had the best stay! The place is beautiful and perfect for relaxing and enjoying all the amenities. Alex and Cassandra were very responsive and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a peaceful place and a unique living space- I traveled with my husband and a 3, 2 & 6month old. While the space was as described and pleasant, there weren’t as many safety features for the littles as I was hoping. Particularly no interior doors for living spaces and the upstairs area had openings that curious toddlers could topple down. Not a deal breaker but something to keep in mind. We brought a baby gate and thankful we did! Would recommend other young families to do the same. We had a wonder time, it was clean, beautiful & peaceful.

Our stay was awesome. It was the first time we took our dog on vacation and he loved being able to run around the yard. He didn’t like the stairs much but that’s something we just figured out lol.
