We felt right at home. All the kids loved playing the games in the game room. This property is definitely a 10 out of 10. We will be staying here again! ##### Kathy R. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Katie K. 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 4th of July family weekend We were with three generations of family for the weekend. The place was just the right fit for three couples and some kids in terms of layout. It was a bit more run-down than photos show - but worked just fine for us for the weekend. We loved having the creek on the property and played in it a good bit. We were hoping to catch some fish, but didn’t see many in the stream to be caught. Also, the neighbors are close and they are also rentals, so it was a bit of a bummer to hear loud music and fireworks next door when we were hoping for quiet! But overall pleased with our stay and would recommend. ##### Katie K.
