10/10 Excellent
"This property was perfect for our larger crew. Greg was amazing with the communication and was unbelievably responsive to anything that needed attention. Above and beyond. There were a couple items that needed attention in the game room, but he addressed them within minutes. The kayaks, paddle boat, and canoe and fire pit were an absolute blast for the kids. Larger coffee cups in the kitchen would be a nice addition. There were many post it notes with tips/instructions that were helpful but a little overwhelming. I kept getting nervous the notes would fall off and get lost. Overall, couldn’t have asked for a more responsive host! It was perfect for our family vacation!"
