The house was clean as well, and helpful hosts. ##### Mong V. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucas H. Jul 6, 2024 #### Perfect Family/Friends Getaway! Our family of 4 met up with our 3 other friends and their families for this trip. It was the perfect fit for our group. Our kids had plenty of space. The game room and backyard was a huge bonus. The house was so quiet! When the kids were upstairs asleep we were able to be downstairs playing cards and games together without worrying we’d wake them up. Memories were made and we can’t wait to go back again! ##### Lucas H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haipeng W. Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property is very well managed. Check in was as smooth as it can be. We were offered early check in although we didn't really need it. The master bedroom was very spacious. There is a top arch windows that is not curtained and could make the room very bright in the early morning. We had to improvised a bit to get it mostly blocked so that we don't get waken up at 5am. Cleaning was good. Lots of things to do to keep kids busy. The kitchen had a very comprehensive set of kitchenware for in unit cooking. ##### Haipeng W.
