August 2026

We had a great stay and would come back! The home was clean, comfortable, and spacious for our family. A few minor maintenance issues: the hot tub was dirty on arrival, the washing machine stopped working a couple times but was fixed after resetting the breaker, the refrigerator ice maker wasn’t working due to a needed filter, there was no propane for s’mores, the Traeger grill would not work until old pellets cleaned out, one smoke alarm went off unexpectedly, the trash cans were moved to the curb but not picked up during our Sunday-to-Sunday stay, and the third shower was out of order. This was inconvenient as there was 8 of us. The host was responsive, which we appreciated. We also watered the plants during our stay. Overall, we really enjoyed the pool!!!!

Not the worst, but could have been much better. The GOOD: great communication, private location, the amount of amenities, the music room was a hit, the tarantula was outside and already dead. The BAD: it was 90 degrees in the home when we arrived and the air conditioning was flakey. The washer breaker tripped upon use. The pictures displayed children’s toy furniture but no toys for the littles to actually play with. Good luck finding the proper switches to turn on the lights and ceiling fans. A shower in one of the bathrooms was not available for use. The ice maker didn’t work on the refrigerator. Sleeping arrangements were more for kids rather than adults. A few patio chairs were torn and appeared unsafe to sit in. The UGLY: There was dried pee on the seat of the toilet. There was large, thick cobwebs hanging in the kitchen in hard to reach places. The stove had dried spill residue. The hot tub was green and disgusting upon arrival until the pool guy arrived. Dried noodles on couch.

Very unique home that owners have put much personal touch into. Pool/jacuzzi was amazing. Music room very cool. Home is very spacious. Kitchen very spacious. Beautiful area. We spent 6 nights there with 6 people actually staying there, but put 9 because we had two close family members visit occasionally. Love the swing chairs in the living room, i napped briefly in one. Definitely a place a large family can relax and enjoy. Loved how there were coffee pods supplied and the shower amenities.
