My husband and I had a wonderful weekend celebrating our wedding at Ricketts Glenn state park and needed a place for backup and a reception afterwards. This place tucked away was perfect for our small get-together. Family and our friends had a blast. Other than not being able to find wash clothes in the linin closet we all made do. Both the property owners were awesome working with. We absolutely loved getting pictures there....took us back in time. We met the owner amd she was so sweet and accommodating. She answered all our questions and gave us a tour through history of her family's mansion. We absolutely loved this place. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The property as well as the view were absolutely beautiful. The host was very responsive, usually within a couple minutes. The pool and hot tub were amazing. There were plenty of activities within the house like pool table, poker table, darts. The only thing that I would mention is that there were a lot of bees by the pool area. 4 of us ended up getting stung, so if you are allergic to bees, be careful. We would 100% recommend this property for a getaway.

Overall we love this house. Some maintenance needs to be updated but once I addressed these issues with the property manager Mana I knew she would address them. We booked again for next year

We really enjoyed staying at the Wise Potato Chip House. Every year we travel to stay @ VRBO house with our current family of 10. This was one of our best family vacations that we ever had. Beautiful views, great out doors, enough bathrooms for everybody, same with bedrooms , Game room was fun for all , although darts are a little dangerous with so many young children around. The only drawbacks that we had were cold pool ( heater was not raising pool temp above outside air) The kids had to get out after an hour or so to warm up. Internet was spotty at best. This is the only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 rating, otherwise it would have been a 5.
