We slept 15 people here for 3 nights, renting the main house and the apartment. The place felt very clean--no dust or dirt anywhere. It is lived in--some of the drawers did have some personal items and the fridge/freezer had quite a bit of food in them but this did not affect our enjoyment. Cecilia was available to us, answered texts promptly and cared that everything was to our liking which we appreciated.

We spent a weekend here with family and hosted a lunch with friends. The house is large and beautiful, and the grounds are private and lovely. There was plenty of space to gather and also find some seclusion, if desired. We had a great time and hope to return for another stay at some point.

We rented both the main house and the apartment, and it was perfect for our large gathering. The house has so many charming details. It's very spacious and allowed us to gather comfortably in a variety of places. We also enjoyed the piano and the outdoor patio/fire pit. Everyone slept well, too. I recommend it!

The house is beautiful. It is very spacious, great for family/ friend gatherings. Location is convenient. And they have VCR! kids all had a great time watching Beauty and the Beast and Peter Pan after dinner. The only thing was that there was a wasp nest on the ground right next to the house which was a bit scary for the kids. Hope it has been removed. The grill and kitchen sink were also not in best condition during our stay. But I get it that a big place like this is hard to maintain. We all had a great time!

Our family gathered in the house for our Mom's 95th birthday. The house and grounds are beautiful, and the open floor plan, with the kitchen, sitting room, and dining table all in one open space) made it possible for us to be together and have separate conversations. Perfect for family party.

The house was clean and spacious and perfect for our large family gathering. The owner was responsive and great to work with. We loved the putting green and had a great family golf tournament! The fire pit was also a wonderful addition for our evenings. Please Note: The house is listed as 5 bedroom/ 4 bath for 1500 a night , BUT- The 5th bedroom / 4th bath is an additional cost to the price listed. This is a bit confusing because you must go the the drop down information in order to see this in the fine print. I thought I had rented 5 bedrooms from the beginning and was very grateful that the owner reached out to me a few weeks before our trip and let me know that I had only rented the "main house" which was only 4 bedrooms and 3 baths which would not have worked for our group. Plus, I would not have wanted other people on the same property at the same time. So, just make sure you know what you are renting and the cost. We had a wonderful time and I would rent again.
