Each family had their own “floor” which helped anchor everyone. The amenities were wonderful and the game room was a big hit! My only feedback is that the kitchen lacked some basic equipment that would have made dinners easier. Our family loves to gather around food and with dietary restrictions and picky eaters, we prefer to cook at home. We made it work, but for a home of this caliber, it was disappointing. ##### Holli B.

We absolutely LOVED our time at VILLACOSTALOTTA.....it was the perfect house and location for our family trip celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary!! We had 6 adults, 2 children (ages 8 & 10), and 1 puppy with us. The house was exceptional and we made many memories there....we loved the views, game room, corn hole game and having lots of space for everyone! Also, theTynecastle neighborhood was so beautiful and it was easy access to town and the main roads. Any questions or concerns were quickly addressed and answered by the rental agency.

The kids LOVED the game room, and the house was plenty large enough for our group. The house was a little worn, but very comfortable. I only have a couple of things that could have been better. While it looked like the house had been clean, it seemed that it had not been cleaned very recently. There was a lot of dust on the indoor surfaces, and the porch and outside windows were not very clean. There were no instructions or book in the house for the equipment or what do to when leaving. However, all the light switches were labeled, which was wonderful. Even with these two things, I would highly recommend the house for a family stay. ##### Liz R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathy M. Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tynecastle teviee The house was remarkable. However it really does need some work. Ex: water stains on walls, tears in couches up and downstairs, very dirty carpet downstairs, big chucks out of several walls, the front porch and railings were covered in bird poo, the house was listed as pet friendly but the plants outside were poisonous to animals. One of our dogs ingested something off the plant out front and got very sick. Several of the comforters were dirty, one of the sheets on the middle bedroom upstairs had to be changed before using because they were dirty. Even though we are dog lovers, there was a lot of dog hair everywhere when we got to the house. The listing stated there was a mattress under one of the beds, there was not. The kitchen was not as well stacked as listed. The house was remarkable, like I said. Best view we have had in all the years we have been coming to the area. I do understand that the recent storm has handicapped a lot of the home owners. I have to add that we needed more propane. The gentle brought us a new tank right away and was so Kind. Plus the house cleaning crew were delightful. I also contacted the rental office and was treated so kindly each time I reached out. A return email almost before I sent the message!!!I appreciate the opportunity to stay in the house. We will most likely give it a try next year. ##### Kathy M.

Oct 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house & views and superb amenities The house is lovely--very spacious, comfortable beds, smart tvs in every room, huge closets, 3 cozy fireplaces, and lots of bathrooms. There is a fantastic view off the deck, with great seating, a gas fire pit, and (on the lower deck) some awesome chair swings. The game room was spectacular--with pool table, air hockey, foosball table, shuffleboard table, and dart board. It also had the best hot tub we have ever been in at a rental property. It is clean, spacious (seats up to 6), and nicely placed where you can see the moon, stars, and mountains. We had a fabulous time! ##### Sujin B.
