The grounds of this home were beautiful and the pool and tennis court gorgeous. There were however, a few problems we had that were mostly attended to right away. The electricity didn’t work in the master bedroom and the carpets were very dirty. They were attended to in a timely manner, but the shower curtain upstairs was dirty and the liner torn in half, the outdoor furniture in disrepair and the stairs were narrow and dangerous. One of our guests fell because there is no top landing. Overall this historic home was beautiful and the beds were comfortable.

Loved the location and beautiful grounds to this iconic house. Understanding that the house is an older home we embraced its quirkiness but there were some issues with the showers and bath tubs. The shower in the primary suite had an old bolt for the faucet handle and the water was only one temp, HOT! The bathtub water ran brown water for several attempts and the honeymoon loft bathroom tub only had cold water, no warm or hot water in that bathroom. All the bathrooms could use a fresh redo, all tile and fixtures very funky. With a remodel this house could be spectacular. There was a ping ping table but no paddles or balls to play with and the pickle ball court needs modern paddles not old wood ones.. The biggest bummer was we were awaken to a jack hammer at 7AM every morning except one and we would not have booked this house knowing that there was construction next door making the house shake at times and preventing us to throughly enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting at this house.

Estate Property in great location

Booked estate for family (8 guests) holiday vacation for 12days. While the grounds & outdoor amenities were wonderful (tennis court, sprawling lawns & pool), the house itself is tired, in need of updating in key areas & not adequately furnished in the living areas to be comfortable for groups over 5 on extended stay. We give the grounds 5 stars. Natural Retreats 5 stars for ease of communication & the check-in/out process. But house needs improvements in wiring, several of the bathrooms & furnishings. Also note, one of the bedrooms is in a converted garage bay so to access main house you have to go through an adjoining bedroom or go outside & enter house through an exterior door. This is not mentioned in listing.

It seems so much larger than the one acre it's listed at. The property is completely fenced in by masonry walls and natural tree growth, maximum privacy! The location is perfect to enjoy a walk to center of town!
