Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori H. 27 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Such a fun place We had a family reunion this past weekend at the Tipsy Toad. Our group ranged in ages from 1 to young looking seniors. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Honestly, we were worried that it would be too hot outside to do much, but we were outside a lot. We had plenty of shade and just enough wind to keep us comfortable. The pond has a lot of fish in it and there was a lot of catching going on. The two-story deck over the pond was nice for the older ones to jump from a bouncy diving board. A competition was supposed to happen, but it may have been all talk! However, in the swimming pool, there was a fierce volleyball competition. We even had a line judge and a net judge. The net judge may or may not have moved the net at times. The sleeping accommodations were great. Beds and pillows were top of the line. Each room has its own air conditioner and ceiling fan. We were very comfortable. The covered deck off the loft was used a lot in both the mornings and the afternoons. The showers are huge! Our family was the first family to stay in the Cabanas. The ones that stayed in those rooms were very happy with their accommodations. We didn’t get to sit around the fire pit except on the first night. That was a great time to catch up with family. We didn’t have time to enjoy all the outdoor areas or play any of the yard games. The hosts were fantastic, and they have anticipated all your needs. They have created a great place to be enjoyed by your group. ##### Lori H.

The property was very nice and clean. They really paid attention to providing all the little things you may have forgotten. Pool was great for all ages. We had so much fun fishing from the dock and my son caught a big one and it made his day! ##### Melody V.

Kathy and Laurell made sure we had everything we needed. Seriously, they have thought of EVERYTHING! The barndo and cabin were both clean and comfortable. We enjoyed swimming in the pond to cool off. It is obvious that the owners take pride in keeping everything clean and well maintained. The water was cold and clear. Paddle boats, paddle boards, and floats were an added bonus! The swimming pool is just beautiful. We had such a good time and plan to return with the grandkids soon. ##### Janna R.

The accommodations were in great condition. Everything was well stocked and they had some of the largest showers from all the properties we have visited. The grandkids had the best time riding their jeeps (Walmart 12volt), fishing and feeding the donkeys and goats. It would be a great place for families just wanting to get away and spend time together. We will definitely go back in the summer. ##### Stewart S.
