Lots of space and the kitchen worked great for our group! 22 of us slept there and then my brothers family joined in during the days. For being on a busy road we wished the front gate could close and would have felt more comfortable letting kids play outside but we totally understood why it couldn’t. Overall great stay!

My son’s basketball team and all the parents stayed in house for a weekend. Plenty of room for everyone! Lots of rooms, beds, hang out spaces. Loved the pool and jacuzzi and the pickleball court and basketball net. Boys loved the theater room. We had plenty of sheets, blankets, and towels. Kitchen is well stocked. A few things that would have made it even better: The front door is a lock with a code. It was very picky, sometimes took serval minutes to get it to lock or unlock. Only 4 chairs for the pool area and two umbrellas. But the house sleeps 25. Need more chairs. Would be great to have some flotation devices for the pool. Bring your own! Great stay overall. Thank you! ##### Kelly M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023
