I even requested a wine decanter, and the host, Michelle, went above and beyond by purchasing one for the house. The kitchen, dining room, and family room created the perfect setting for shared meals and laughter.The outdoor space was just as impressive. We grilled by the pool, soaked in the large jacuzzi, swam, and spent evenings gathered together under the stars. Being away from the city lights made stargazing unforgettable ##### Mike D.

The property is so tranquil—perfect for a true escape. Picture 10 moms looking to get away and relax, and this home delivered in every way. The house was impeccably clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked, which made for the most gorgeous setting for our private chef dinner. We even enjoyed outdoor massages tucked away on the property, surrounded by Mother Nature—pure bliss!There was plenty of space for us to gather as a group, and at the same time, ample sleeping quarters so everyone could rest comfortably or enjoy solo downtime. Michelle, the property manager, was so easy to work with and always available to answer any questions that came up, making everything seamless from start to finish. This home is truly a gem. Highly recommend and will definitely be back again, either with the girls or with my family. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7f4d773e-a871-409d-bd78-7a2c400ecd9e-1758140014365.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelly Q.
