The group appreciated the comfortable rooms with nice private rooms, a bunk room, and a lovely large room with a beautiful window overlooking the wooded back yard. The group especially loved using the hot tub and the theater room!! It made their visit feel special and we appreciated the close proximity to our event. ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew C. 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication The place was absolutely wonderful, exactly what you would expect from the pictures. We especially enjoying sitting out on the back porch and in the hot tub. With that said, a few things to look out for: - None of the AC window units were installed and many of the windows didnt have screens, so the house was 75F our whole stay - the walking paths were completely flooded and unusable, and while I recognize that is not the owners fault, a heads up would have been nice - we had some issues getting the projector in the theater to work - our biggest frustration was the lack of communication from the owner, we didnt hear anything from them until I reached out a few days before our stay to ask for more information about the house, any rules, check in info, etc. Even at that point they refused to give me any information until the day we arrived, and we finally got that information via a phone call a couple hours before our check in time. ##### Andrew C.
