Great house for groups.

We stayed as a group for the New Year. It was perfect for a group with lots of space to move about and a fun ‘game’ space in the basement. Also many rooms/bathrooms that make it easy to share the house with friends.

Christmas Getaway

This property was great for hosting our family Christmas functions. We were able to sleep 4 couples and 3 children without any trouble. What we enjoyed most were the entertainment areas. Over the course of 2 days we spent most of it together playing pool, ping pong and board games. I would recommend this to everyone that is looking for a spacious stay.

Recommend!

This was the perfect home for us to host a large group of family in town for a weekend wedding. The house was clean & spacious. The neighborhood is peaceful & quiet. It's just a short ride to grocery or restaurants. Our family enjoyed their stay.

Spacious lovely home

We always enjoy our time in your home. Clean and fresh. Thank you. (The utensils in the kitchen have become a little basic and tired)

Nice house, odd management issues

The house was the perfect size for our large group and cost less than purchasing hotel rooms for everyone. But, it seemed as though the house had not been cleaned in quite some time. There were many light fixtures with cob webs and dust all over them, the sink/drain had a horrible smell once we used it, the garage stunk of cigarettes, and the staff did not know the gas line to the grill had been cut (and they didn't remove gloves and old utensils from the inside of the grill from the last time it was used). There were random body soaps and lotions (large left over bottles from other guests?) under all the cabinets yet we had to buy hand soap from the Jewel down the street because the bathrooms had empty hand soap dispensers. Also, we had multiple cars of people driving to meet at the house... I made the reservation, had left no names with any of the staff at this property, etc... yet, the staff gave the keys to the first person who arrived, who they did not know, and didn't even ask for ID.

The property itself was great and very comfortable!

Eileen (the manager) was extremely accommodating, and it was really a pleasure staying at this property.
