This is a great property for teens; the game room offers a lot of fun options. It is also a great property for families, there are plenty of bathrooms and beds as well as room to dine together.

The couch wasn't the most comfortable and no way to put our feet up after a day of exploring. The recliners are old and don't function (can't put the footrest up) which was disappointing. We loved the location being near enough to the typical tourist spots but far enough from the hustle and bustle. Loved listening to the water sounds of the creek. It would have been nice to have a bigger garbage can in the master's bedroom or additional garbage bags. All in all, it was a great place to stay! ##### Carol H.

There was plenty of space and plenty of things to do between the games at the house and trails just outside the front door. The kitchen could have been better equipped for the size of the house but we made due with what we had. I agree with other posts about the height of some of the beds, be prepared to climb up! Night lights in the hallway would have been nice as well. It is really dark to find a bathroom in the middle of the night. We enjoyed our stay for sure! ##### Jill G.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia K. 9 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House Great house for more than one family to stay at. We had two families which included a total of 4 kids. Other reviews mentioned the tall beds. I underestimated how tall two of those beds were! They were almost as tall as my 6 year old! My kids thought it was fun how tall they were and steps were provided. I loved how dark the rooms were at night without all the street lights and surrounding houses to brighten it up. There was one night light available in the room with twin beds, but if your kids are afraid of the dark you may want to pack another night light for other rooms. The house was very clean except for the floors. They weren’t visibly dirty nor did they feel bad. However, even with giving my kids baths in the evening, I had to rinse off their black feet after running around inside for another couple hours before bed. The owners had plenty of entertainment options available. These included a pool table, arcade games, fuse ball table, and an assortment of board games. My kids also loved the creek in the backyard. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. It was a great experience! ##### Alicia K.

Great location. If I had a complaint it would be the house feels empty. Needs more furniture and decor. Still a great layover for my family on our way to Chicago. Oh, seeing deer everyday was outstanding! ##### Kelly P.

We stayed at this beautiful house for a week and it felt like home to us. Our family went on a road trip from Florida, and arriving to this beautiful home was so great. From the moment we walked in, the smell of cleanliness was refreshing. The kitchen was big enough to cook all of our family meals, and the beautiful long dining table was wonderful for having our local family over for dinners. The creek out in the yard was an amenity in and of itself. We could barely keep our kids indoors (which is great). The yard is such a great size. We brought our volleyball net to play out in the yard and had more than enough space for family activities outdoors. The firepit out in the back is a great addition as well. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The beds as listed on other reviews, are high. However, Jim has provided a small stepping ladder to get up top. The house has more than enough towels, pillows, and kitchen utensils for your stay. One thing I would add to the kitchen, is possibly a blender. Also the stairs can use a little tweaking to make it more stable, especially for elderly and small children. We personally met Jim and it felt like family. Very kind and welcoming. We will definitely be back and make this part of our family traditions. Thank you Jim and family for allowing us to create wonderful memories in your home. ##### CHRISTINA P.
