The house is stunning!

We stayed at the house just after Christmas to celebrate the holiday with our family. We had 23 people (adults and kids of all ages). The house was comfortable for all of us, including sleeping arrangements. We had plenty of space and enough separation for quiet time when needed. The 2 living rooms were very comfortable and had tv’s, all the bedrooms also have TVs which was really nice. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we needed. We played pickleball and enjoyed the hot tub too. We took the kids to the children’s museum. We will definitely return for another stay! Thanks Devin!

Lovely grounds

The property is well located and the grounds are beautiful! The house is okay. For the amount of beds upstairs for sleeping there is only 1 bathroom. The number of overnight guests does not match well with the amount of showers. The house was warm and sometimes uncomfortable at night for sleeping. We never used the pool or downstairs.

Family gathering - wonderful stay

We held our annual family gathering for 22 - 10 adults and 12 children - in this property this year. All in all, we'd return for another visit next year. The grounds and landscaping are very attractive. The interior is large, with many separate gathering spaces and places to escape for some private time. There are fewer bathrooms/showers than bedrooms, so several folks had to share bathrooms. The pool, pool house and hot tub were real hits for our kids. There were plenty of seats outside, although several were weather worn. It was easy to hold common meals in the dining areas. We used the gaming rooms downstairs frequently. We had trouble with some appliances, but Devin (host) was responsive via the VRBO app.

Perfect for large family gathering

We lost several family members and extended family members over the past three years. It was time to reunite, commemorate those lost and celebrate life. This estate was beyond all expectations for our family of 26. Including siblings, spouses, adult children, cousins and adult great grandchildren. Lasting memories were shared. It has everything you’ll ever want for beautiful accommodations. We highly recommend this fabulous estate. Thank you Devin for your attention to detail and for making us so very welcome! Very responsive manager.

The house is amazing

Overall the house was amazing and we really enjoyed our time there. There were a couple of things the cleaners missed - e.g. I found a dirty qtip in the bin of qtips. I guess a past guest thought it was funny to leave it there? And the grill isn't being maintained. We cleaned it throughly, but it was absolutely disgusting. I gagged several times when emptying the drip tray, which was overflowing and moldy,

Family gathering

I would give it 5 stars but for a few small things. The property is huge and well kept. a little more attention to the lighting would be beneficial. some of the family had difficulty seeing the entry drive. there were light fixtures out there that were not on and the groundskeeper did not know how to make them work. the light at the entrance near the garage was also not working and a trip hazard due to darkness there. all in all I would recommend it highly. In the summer it would be great with the use of the pool!

Recent stay review

I dont want this to be public. Beautiful home. But wasn't very clean. E.g., Some dishes in cabinets had food on them and otherwise were dirty. Very dusty everywhere. Deck furniture covered in leaves. It was odd and annoying that landscapers came out both Sat and Sunday with their loud machinery that interfered with privacy on the property both days; they came up into deck and blew leaves for 10 mins straight while guests in hot tub so that couldn't talk and awkward to have an outsider invade privacy. And they only cleaned off leaves on deck late Sunday afternoon so couldn't use the furniture entire weekend.
