Family Reunion
We spent Thanksgiving at the property and had and excellent stay. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal for our family reunion. Properly is in excellent condition and is true to what you see in the pictures. We loved the game barn and the movie theater room. It was perfect for our big family.

Labor Day weekend
We were a group of adults who stayed over a long weekend. The house is awesome. I think we all loved pretty much everything about it. It was so nice to have a large, covered outdoor dining table that fit everyone. The kitchen was very well stocked. The Miele dishwasher was fantastic! There was an enormous amount of space to spread out. It was so nice to have a large hot tub. We used it a lot. The pool was large and deep. The view was great! The things we could have wished for were ceiling fans in the bedrooms, natural material covers on the beds, and there were too many games (tight fit) in the game room, several of which were not working, like air hockey and foosball as well as only one working pool stick. There is some noise from the road running very close by but you don’t really hear it from inside the home.
