After a session in the yoga studio relax in both the hot tub and the enormous sauna. Most importantly: gather.

Joe was a great communicator before and during the stay. The pictures matched the home and parents/kids had a great time in the game room (NBA Jam, Pac Man, and Pool Table). The kitchen had plenty of space to host a team lunch between games on one day. Finally, Joe let us have a late checkout Sunday as our girls made (and won) the tournament championship. Thanks for the 5-star weekend.

Our stay at Malbec was excellent for our guys weekend. Our host Joe was flexible during booking when I had to change some dates and provided us with all the necessary information about the property ahead of time to have us ready. The check-in was extremely smooth and the property was beautiful. The house had a plethora of amenities to use to make our weekend memorable. We played a lot of N64 in the theater room, played pool and NBA Jam in the game room, Cornhole in the very large yard, and soaked in the hot tube. We had a lot of fun and look forward to hopefully coming back again!

Friends Getaway

Overall we enjoyed our stay here! It was a good space to gather and enjoy eachothers company. The bed sizes were a bit smaller than we anticipated but there were still plenty of places to sleep. Make sure to bring your own wood for the sauna and firepit, we had to make a few runs into town for that. But overall good experience and I would stay again.

Malbec

Great location, great space for our purpose (celebration of life for my late wife), lots of room for people interaction. On the down side the gym area was dirty and littered with bugs, the hot tub was green and of little interest in the state it was in, the water had a unwelcome odor.All told and with that in mind, we hope to rent the property again perhaps next summer.
