We had an absolute blast at this VRBO! One of the best parts was that everyone genuinely put their phones away—we were too busy playing nonstop. Air hockey, ping pong, basketball, and card games were the biggest hits, and the sheer amount of games and activities available was astonishing. There truly was something for everyone.In the evenings, we loved winding down together in the movie room, which made for such relaxing, quality family time. The layout was perfect for our group—having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was a huge plus and made everything so comfortable.This was also the most well-stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. From coffee to snacks and drinks, they really thought of everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for fun, connection, and comfort all in one!

Good house with tons of activities to do, just in the house alone. Everything was well stocked and the bnb also included complimentary snacks and food which I found very thoughtful and kind. The host was even able to accommodate an earlier arrival time for me. My only suggestion for improvement is that the master suite's shower had a very strong/stinky smell. However, that's not a big deal and the stay was definitely a 5-star experience with all of the options and amenities provided.

So fun and homey!

This place was amazing to stay at! Theresa truly thought of everything to make this house feel like a home. We were visiting the area due to a death in our family, so the house was such a nice escape to take our mind off of everything. Theresa was even nice enough to allow us to book an additional day last minute. She really got us out of a pinch! If you’re on the fence about booking this place, you definitely should! It is even better than the pictures show. So much to do, and they even had a toddler play area for our little one! It was perfect.

We have a very tight small group who wanted to get away and not go too far. This home was absolutely perfect. You will never be bored in this house or in the area. Thank you for your genuine hospitality and for all that your home supplied to make this an unforgettable girls weekend. We will definitely be back and with our families also. They too need to experience this. Thank you again!

Cute house with lots of fun activities

The house was exactly as listed. Property was in a quiet neighborhood, easy access to downtown and the state parks. We enjoyed all of the games and activities, especially the ping pong. Once I realized the Ms Pac Man also had Galaga I had to make sure I took the high score. My hand now looks like a claw (Friends reference for those who appreciate this part of the house nostalgia). The house had lots of extras that you don’t see in some of the other rentals, like coffee, snacks, spices, condiments and napkins. Thanks for being a great host.

Girls Weekend

We stayed in Theresa's home for a girls' weekend. There were 5 of us. We had the best time. The layout of the home was great with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths along with games, karaoke, etc. It was relaxing, and we didn't need to leave the house. Very clean; plenty of dishes/utensils, etc. Great outside space as well and a 3-season sunroom. Great, quiet neighborhood. Safe. Theresa was very communicative and welcoming host. We will definitely stay here again. We loved the home.

The Funnest House, For Sure

We had a terrific stay at this property. The kids were constantly entertained by the fantastic game rooms (oh, how I wish something like this had existed when I was a kid!) and the adults had time to relax and chat. There are movie-watching treats (popcorn galore and candy) for the kids and coffee-drinking treats for the adults. We were in the house over the Thanksgiving holiday, so we brought in all our own food and cooked a big meal. The kitchen isn't outfitted for serious foodie cooking, but we had everything we needed and the place felt homey and lovely for the holiday. There was lots of extra bedding, and every room was comfy and cosy. Lots and lots of extra towels (which I happen to appreciate) and well-stcked bathrooms. Theresa checked in with us right away, and I knew if we needed anything she would respond quickly! We never needed to contact her, though, because we were well-provided for. A gem of a place!
