Amazing place very clean and well maintained. We had an amazing time in the hot tub and sauna, a lot of open space around the house.

July 2026

Overall, we had a nice family stay and enjoyed the large yard, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful surrounding area with trails and beaches. However, we were disappointed by the basement, which felt significantly misrepresented in the listing photos. Instead of the warm, finished space shown with hardwood floors and rugs, the basement is entirely unfinished concrete with a cold feel. The projector was also not connected to any streaming services, so without our own device, we couldn't use it. We ended up avoiding the space beyond the bedroom and bathroom. While AI photo editing is common, the discrepancy here was substantial, and greater transparency is needed to avoid misleading future guests and manage expectations. Additionally, the pack-and-play mattress had areas that sank deeply and did not feel safe for our toddler to sleep on. We made the most of our trip, but hopefully this feedback helps future guests know what to expect and allows the host to make necessary improvements.
