Over at least eight stays in the 30 years we’ve been coming to Holden. Would have been more, but it has been in and out of the summer rental market over. the years. different room layouts have accommodated many varying age groups overtime with great success. Pool added several years ago is a great bonus, but really wish it had a handrail for entry and exit. ##### Daniel B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annamarie W.

The space was accommodating as the adults used the downstairs bedrooms, while the boys slept in the bunk bed room and the girls in the three bedrooms upstairs.

Great location, fair price, and a nice house. The only issue we had is there’s clearly been some recent water damage and some of the furniture in the house is pretty beat up. I suspect that’s just what happens when you rent a property out but the pictures, make it look pristine when it’s very used. Any issue we had the rental company quickly responded to.
