Quiet, private location. Home is tucked away from from any main neighborhoods, so it is reserved. Typically you can be as loud as you want without issue (within reason). But I do have a neighbor around 800 feet away so please be courteous of he and his family after 1am (i.e. turn down the music so it's not cranking full volume).

My group had an excellent stay. We had a mix of adults in their 30s-40s, and children aged 2-6. This property had plenty of space, and a variety of activities to keep everyone entertained. It's location is convenient of groceries and any essentials you may need to buy. Also conveniently located nearby are easily accessible trails! Overall would highly recommend for any large group.

The theatre room was amazing. We used it to watch the Celtics and a movie. They have speakers all throughout the house you can easily connect to. The grill worked great for us and the hot tub was really nice. Lots of space to sleep too. And ping pong table was in great shape. The owner was highly responsive for any questions we had.

We stayed at this property while visiting family for Thanksgiving. The house is very large with lots of fun things to do. The shower upstairs has jets everywhere, and the home theater was perfect for watching football games, TV and movies.

The house was incredible with all the wonderful amenities (that were exactly as they were described). The natural surrounding was breathtaking with a beautiful pond and incredible bridges over creeks, it was everything our group wanted for a Fall break. I was also so appreciative of how ontop of it the property managers were, they were so helpful, especially in the run-up to the weekend!
