We had a great mini vacation. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and has awesome amenities. The host has an easy to follow handbook that covers everything you need to know. My only recommendation is bring batteries just in case, most of the heat is controlled by remotes and we had to replace some batteries. But loved every minute of our stay!! Thank you! ##### Amanda D.

We loved the house so much. Everything was so clean and modern. We enjoyed many parts of it- especially the hot tub! Loved how secluded it felt too - almost like there were no neighbors.

It was a quick walk to the clubhouse for pool time and plenty of wildlife to admire from the deck. We really appreciated the attention to detail throughout the house, only thing missing was a brita!
