Please leave all cardboard in the laundry room. Horses: Our horses are super friendly, and a lot of our guests prefer them so they can have their privacy. If you do not want to feed the horses, just let us know in advance and we will arrange for someone to care for them once a day. The big black horse is a Percheron, his name is Thor, the brown horse is Stranger, and the grey is Strider. If you choose to feed them, they each get a scoop of feed (green Scooper) and a half a bale of hay 2X per day, once in the AM and once in the PM. Always feed them in their pecking order: Thor, Stranger and then Strider. The water buckets must be filled once daily. They love horse treats like carrots, apples, and old stale bread. The horse food, hay and carrots are in the barn. Cleaning and departing: We prefer that you remove your shoes upon entering.

The owners even made us steak and lobster upon arrival to accomadate for something that was out of their control with the pool but did not affect the usage of the pool. First class all the way and the horses were so amazing. The kids loved feeding them carrots, which the host provided. Fantastic home for family gatherings. Pet friendly and kid fun. The pool and jacuzzi were great, kitchen has everything so dont bring anything. Overall a great and cozy fun home, looking forward to possibly more vacations here. ##### George y.

The family or the dogs.. The property is gorgeous. The horses were big hit with my daughter and grandson..The kitchen was amazing to cook in, the TV was better than a theater. The whole family made great memories in the gameroom, I'm so glad we did it. The owner gave us a tour which was so helpful. And were easy to get in contact with with any questions. We will definitely be back.. ##### KIMBERLY P. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lori a.

The weather didn’t always cooperate but there was always something to keep us entertained! The pool and hot tub were a plus during the heatwave. Amazing grounds, well kept. Beautiful super friendly horses. My husband enjoyed feeding them. Suki our golden doodle warmed up to them and loved running around the grounds! The house is large but still comfortable and cozy. Super comfortable beds. The a/c kept us cool at all times. There was plenty of space for 7 adults and 1 infant. Big hit with the guys was the smoker grill! The kitchen was a cooks dream. Well equipped for any level of cooking! Plenty of parking. Perfect location to stores and restaurants. Brian is a great host. He was available if we needed him. Gracious and made you feel like a friend. My family really enjoyed their stay! We hope to stay again! ##### lori a. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nosa I.

Jul 10, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unsafe, Misrepresented, and Poorly Maintained- Disappointing Stay I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others about this property. Our stay was deeply disappointing due to serious issues with safety, cleanliness, and inaccurate listing details.Safety concerns were the most critical..Exposed wiring in the living room and a broken lock on the main entrance made us feel unsafe. No keys to home . Ditches exposed around pool .A tow truck arrived at property without warning . Owner dismissed it with a chuckle.These are not minor oversights—they are hazards that should have been addressed before anyone set foot in the home.The listing was misleading. The photos and description painted a completely different picture."The 'spacious, modern kitchen' was actually cramped, outdated, and missing basic appliances. We felt misled and frustrated the moment we arrived.Cleanliness was unacceptable. The property was not properly cleaned before our arrival. There was mold in the bathroom, dirty linens on the beds, and a strong musty odor throughout the space.It was clear that little care had been taken to prepare the home for guests.VRBO attempted to contact the host/property manager about this issues . The host sent me a note saying the place was immaculate.We replied with our issues, we have not received a response.This experience was not only uncomfortable but also unacceptable given the price and the expectations set by the listing. I strongly urge potential guests to reconsider booking ![Pool with ditches around . ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6367ee90-f995-4c0d-ba84-69037342d8bc-1752175112847.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Cluttered laundry room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2e310c67-5edb-47a7-bb27-cb0e7b7d94ad-1752175249062.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![In kitchen draw](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a5e3f4b1-fc63-4654-810c-642efc24bc09-1752175249139.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Family room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/70e8723c-394d-49f0-908f-8f4483247e9a-1752175251111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Eileen W.
