Host had great communication and house was lovely. We had a nice long family weekend there. Loved the kitchen, comfy beds, good seating, fun backyard and pool. Would stay again!

This was our 3rd summer vacation at this house and we love it so much. It's clean, spacious, comfortable, and the pool area is excellent. I think our only complaint was that there's not enough room in the trash bin to accommodate multiple families. We ended up taking home a few bags of trash. Maybe 2 trash pickups during the week? Otherwise, Kathy is friendly and prompt with communication (and apologized about the trash situation and offered a solution during our stay), and the house is just fabulous!

This is our second time staying here. The family loves the property; the pool was great to beat the heat, the kids had a blast shooting hoops and playing in the game room.

My family really enjoyed our stay. The pictures don’t do the house justice - the back yard is huge. It had everything we needed and the host communicated very well. We will definitely be back!

We stayed here with two other families, including 5 kids ages 3-8 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The home is beautifully maintained and stocked, and also exudes comfort and coziness. The game room was an absolute hit and the kids hardly wanted to leave. The layout worked really well to gather but also have quiet time if needed. Kathy was super helpful and responsive. We’d love to stay here again in the future!

The house was great. Very large, clean and well stocked. The teens really enjoyed the hangout room- they played Wii, air hockey, and had a great time making huge Lego creations. The house was quiet and conveniently located close to a grocery store and restaurants.
