Professional Women’s Retreat

Our group of 13 ladies had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! There was more space than we knew what to do with, it was so perfect for our group. Very comfortable gathering areas in many locations of the home. The kitchen was incredible and perfect for our large group meals. Everyone enjoyed the hot tubs. The whole house surround sound was great for enjoying music while enjoying the amenities, and several of the ladies enjoyed hiking around the property. 10/10 amazing trip, you can’t go wrong booking this incredible home!

Large Group Home

This house holds a lot of folks, has activities and gathering areas and is well located for hiking and biking. The house is for sale and feels a bit tired. Make sure you look at the floor plans to make sure the room sizes, locations and bathroom connections work for your group. We had some disappointed parent couples although the young adult children were all fine- many shared bathroom and bunk accommodations. The young adult kids loved the activity area with pool table, tv, foosball, etc and we all enjoyed the sitting areas outside.

The home is visually impressive, but our experience didn’t match what was advertised. Several major amenities listed as highlights of the property were out of order for our entire stay — including two fireplaces, the outdoor fire feature, one of the hot tubs, inoperable ice maker, and a window that wouldn’t close. None of this was communicated ahead of time, even though the management company had signs posted indicating these were known issues.For a luxury property at this price point, transparency and basic functionality should be a given. The refund offered was minimal compared to the loss of multiple amenities that heavily influenced our decision to book.If you’re considering this home, I strongly recommend confirming in writing that all advertised amenities are actually operational before you arrive. The property has potential, but the lack of disclosure and inadequate compensation were disappointing.
