Great location to Gorges State Park
Upon arrival the Wed. Before thanksgiving we noticed overflowing trash in cans and scattered all over the property. Then as we toured the home down on bottom level the sliding glass door panel was shattered. I felt that was very dangerous. I called the property manager 2x to report. She was very kind but the trash wasn’t addressed until Friday and the glass door never was. Besides these 2 issues all else was as pictured and described.
Love the hot tub and that they allow dogs.
The neighbor has a dog that barks all hrs of the night, it is very disruptive however, thats not the property managers fault.

Large house
The house was huge for a vacation and offered many amenities. There is a large dog owned by the neighbor that is barely visible and never got loose but was quite loud. Overall it was a great summertime getaway and we loved it.

Great property!
This place was perfect for our family of four + dog. The place had more bedrooms than we needed but we enjoyed the extra space to spread out :)
The hot tub and sauna were added after we booked - what a bonus!
The place had everything we needed and then some, including all the cooking supplies, extra bedding, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, even a reverse osmosis water filter like we have at home.
We were super close to Gorges State Park, as well as Sapphire and Cashiers. An easy, scenic drive to many waterfalls and great dining spots.
Communication with the property manager was excellent.
10/10 we would stay here again! Thanks for having us!
