The home was lovely and had many things that seem minor but make a huge difference to me. I stay at VRBO’s often, and this place had all the minor details covered- blankets to cozy up with on sofa, bottled water and light snacks available after a long drive, and extras of things- towels, shampoos, etc. Great place!
We all enjoyed the weekend from the grandparents to the grandkids. The kids loved the game room and they were able to sleep in the.same area without disturbing the other levels. We appreciated all the amenities. The weekend was made more special because so many of us could be together.
We had a comfortable, fun, and wonderful stay. The house was well-equipped with supplies and amenities. Spacious rooms - tri leveled - quiet for all families. Enjoyed the fire pits, pool table, and jacuzzi. The host was communicative and responsive. She provided updates (weather, power, etc.), and quickly helped us with anything we needed.
It's a nice place to stay, we enjoyed our time there. It had alot of activities for everyone, board games, pool, darts etc. It also has kitchenware, air beds and baby sleeping gear. Our host was very accommodating. In my opinion I feel the description is just a little misleading. It states there's 4 bedrooms but it's only a 3 bedrooms house with a loft. It also states that there are 2 living room with double sofa beds but the main living room does not have a sofa bed. Overall it's a spacious home nicely kept home. Be advised there're alot of cameras on the property.had a double couch bed but only one was
