It made me wish we had an extra day to explore more of our surroundings. My pre-teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the loft area and had it to themselves. There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

"We stayed here with 4 adults and 6 children and the house was very large and accommodating. We enjoyed the large fire pit in the evenings. Overall property was clean and well equipped, the only thing noted was some damaged outdoor chairs (fabric was ripped which made it non usable), a stained mattress cover that was found when removing the sheets, and lots of spider webs in the garage/play area. We also had to deal with a dying battery in the smoke detector at 10 pm. We found an extra battery which held until about 5 am the day of checkout. All in all, we would stay here again."
