We did not realize it was so private and so much land was part of this property. It was perfect for our family and we did not want to leave. We could kayak each day then swim and play volleyball. We would definitely come back. ##### M R.

This property has everything! Great pool, hot tub, fire pit, kayaks, beautiful river view, balls, corn hole, grills, linens, great kitchens, pool table, ping pong, yoga mats, exercise bike, tread mill, screened in porch, outside porch swing, and a giant Adirondack chair that was great for the family photo! 17 of us spent a week here for a family reunion and only basically left for food shopping. The property is amazing and the owner is responsive to any questions. We will be back again for the next reunion! ##### Jodi P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily C. 11 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous experience! This property is truly amazing. So many fun things to do - horseshoes, ping pong, pool table, hot tub, fire pit - the list goes on. We hosted a small gathering after a family funeral, and the property provided beautiful open spaces outside as well as a perfect inside gathering space with a well-stocked kitchen. Three families with members ranging from 6 - 75 years old stayed at the house, and the accommodations were great for all ages. The property was clean, the host was responsive, and we look forward to coming back! ##### Emily C. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carrie T. 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Reunion We had 24 people ranging from ages 1 - 83 so we used every bed and we stayed for a week. As we arrived there were a few things that needed to be attended to but the property manager responded and sent workers over to fix them. It was very hot and humid outside the first few days and the A/C worked great! We enjoyed the pool, volleyball net, hammock, fire ring, exercise equipment, and the large living area on the Luxe side. We even brought in a big round folding table and chairs from the garage for extra seating. There were 4 refrigerators and a chest freezer that made it easy to store food to feed us all. We also used the dock to tie up a boat for the week but the boat lift that is pictured does not work. The steps down to the dock are very steep so our 83 year old did not get a boat ride. We had 8 kids, 10 years old and under, that loved playing in the bunk room on the Luxe side. There is lots of grassy area on the river side and the other side of the house to play games and run around. Sunset views are pretty on the river side and we even saw a July 4th fireworks display from the river side lawn. A perfect ending to our week together! ![Sunset view from the back lawn.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/669d0373-847f-4e7f-875c-d5341d90690f-1751826658363.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carrie T. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### John S. 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### NOT what I expected I reserved this property because a) the Guest Reviews were unanimously very positive and b) because I needed ten separate bedrooms for ten co-workers in town for a business offsite. The reality is that the two buildings and the configuration of the rooms is very choppy and not nearly close to one another in terms of comfort or atmosphere. One of the bedrooms is only accessible by walking through another bedroom. Others appear to originally be closets that have been poorly repurposed. The "Cottage" is musty and was unacceptable for my colleagues with sensitive respiratory issues. The basement bedroom in the "Luxe" is more bomb shelter than bedroom. In the end, I felt the need to offer to any of my colleagues to leave and stay down the road at the Courtyard Marriott. Also, this is not a new or property or "high-end" experience by any measure. I was sadly and significantly disappointed with this property. ##### John S.

Loved the amount of games and activities available for everyone. We found the house well stocked with basics and feel it was even better than expected. Wish the dock were safer - seems treacherous even for adults. But there’s plenty to appreciate aside from that. ##### Kate S.
