Lots of room, great hiking from the house, two areas where groups of people could comfortably congregate. There were two kitchens! The family staying downstairs (one of my sons and his partner and my brother-in-law and his daughter) stored their drinks and snacks downstairs. There is an outside entrance to the downstairs family room and kitchen. If you fill all the bedrooms, the bathroom situation will be a little tight. There is one full bath in the master, another full bath upstairs that the other three bedrooms share, a third full bath upstairs between the kitchen and the fifth bedroom upstairs and a full bath downstairs for the two bedrooms to share. The house easily accommodated 14 people. Several of the generation in their 20's and 30's hiked down to the river. Deer and turkeys came right up to the house and hung out. There was even a baby deer on the property. The property manager was friendly, responsive and very accommodating, offering to find vendors for the various activities we planned. This is a very comfortable house with all the amenities.

This property was the perfect place for our wedding party to stay. We got married in the area, and this house was nearly big enough to accommodate all of us. My only comment would be to possibly have more trash bags available to the guests, maybe under the kitchen sink? While completing the checkout list, taking all the trash to the big trash cans would have been easier if there were more large trash bags available. Overall, great stay! Thanks!

This place was amazing! We had a very large group and had everything we needed. There were well maintained walking trails, plenty of chairs and areas to sit and enjoy the outdoors, and a wide variety of games and activities for ALL ages available (indoor and outdoor). Alicia, our host, was super helpful. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!

Our group of 16 had an amazing stay here! We are a group of homeschooling families and we all found comfy spots to sleep. The beds and bedding are all comfy and in great condition. Everything was clean and well supplied. Several people in the group love to cook and appreciated the very well-stocked kitchen. There were many different areas in the the house so that people could do different activities but there was also room for us all to be together. And it is beautiful outside! The view from the deck is gorgeous. We went on some really special hikes on the property and didn't feel the need to go explore elsewhere, actually! Several members of the group went horseback riding and said it was really an exceptional experience. When we reached out to the host with any questions, she responded quickly and seemed happy to help. We plan to go back for sure!

This house fit our needs perfectly, with separation between children and adults. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The house was in an area that provided hikes and seclusion. The property manager was very responsive to needs and questions, and we had no problems. We would definitely come back. Thank you.
