4 Long Time Golfing Buddies

Home is relatively convenient to restaurants/shops. Neighborhood working class. We simply needed a place to basically sleep, shower, and hang. Very nice to arrive and find basic breakfast, fruit, and Wine!!! Backyard is nice with water feature and hot tub. Tried to get the hot tub to at least 103, but can’t adjust from 101. 2 degrees would move the needle. House is kinda funky with all of the art ; Felt like a starving artist show. It served its purpose for a no frills golf trip and 4 seperate bedrooms are hard to find. Solid hoats

Private garden and beds oh so comfy

Overall very good extended stay. The place was clean and beds extremely comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub, also clean & private. Would have liked a handrail to get in and out of the hot tub. If we had any issues or requests, they were accommodating and timely. Appreciated the complimentary breakfast items & pantry. We had someone in our group who needed a walker. Our wish would be grab bars in the bathrooms & the bathroom doors aren’t very wide. The private garden in back was wonderful to soak in the sun by the koi pond.

Gorgeous house!

This is the second time I have stayed with family here. The garden and koi pond is serene, and I loved sitting outside reading while watching all the birds and fish. I love that they tell you the names of the koi too. They are beautiful. They house was immaculate and very clean. Beds were very comfortable, and all kitchen utilities are provided. Lots of extra goodies too! There is also amazing artwork all around the house. It’s like staying in an art gallery. We utilized the jacuzzi often during our winter stay. It was relaxing and quite. Hosts are just amazing and very helpful too! I highly recommend staying here.
