"Overall, we had a really fun stay and made great family memories here. The location was excellent, the open floor plan was perfect for a group, and the backyard was easily the highlight. The kids loved the zip line, air hockey, golf setup, axe throwing, pool, and jacuzzi. This place is clearly built to be a fun party house.That said, the house has definitely been ridden hard and put away wet. It could use some TLC and repairs. Running joke from the kids all weekend was: “Why is everything broke, Dada?” When we arrived, the house smelled strongly of cats, which we eventually traced to the sunroom. Closing that room off helped a lot. The fancy espresso machine also didn’t work just dispensed fancy hot water, also a Keurig but I only brought regular ground coffee, so I made cowboy coffee, and chilled outside with the plants and birds. The biggest issue was the pool/jacuzzi setup. The kids woke up excited to swim only to find out the pool was freezing and heat required 24hr notice and a 100 fee. Pool guy came next day and turned on the heat, kids swam while it heated. A couple hours later pool guy shut it off, we took a break and came back later discovering the jacuzzi completely drained. W T F? When I texted the host, I got: “Done for today. Have a good night.”To be fair, the host did offer to heat it the next morning for free, but we were checking out by thenDespite the issues, we stayed positive, laughed thru the blunders and still had a wonderful time together."

"Too smokey."

"Everything was great, a perfect home away from home!"

"Cute and cozy. A perfect little get away for two. It sits between two other houses on the properly and the host lives on-site but it’s very quiet and private. On arrival it’s a bit rustic but super charming and upgraded inside. Although it can sleep 8, the living area is just right for 2-4 people. It is an adult “treehouse-like cabin”. We had a wonderful weekend stay.Pros- easy to get to, nice accommodations, super charming, nicely decorated, clean, great yard for dog, close to stores, air conditioningCons- no bathroom on the main level, no screens on the windows, noise from the main road. "

"The host was very accommodating to our particular needs, and schedule. Loved being surrounded by the dogs. The only challenge was height. The counters and the shower are designed for tall people, and we are short. But we were able to make good use if it all. We'll look forward to coming back next time we plan to visit the Safari Park.

"The pool was very dirty almost like moldy which was upsetting because I booked this for my sisters wedding and the newlyweds were supposed to jump in the pool for photos. Unfortunately could not use the pool during our stay"
