This was awesome for a family gathering. We enjoyed all parts of the house: - theater room: streaming services worked great - pool table: lots of space, 1 pool ball was broken - living room: we played music with no problems of sound carrying, great for the light sleepers - kitchen: there was everything we needed. We did get some paper plates to avoid too much dish washing. (There is a drip coffee maker that lives there.) - patio/grill: one more table/set of chairs out there would be great. - yard: we flew kites and played badminton. there's a great amount of outside space - took group photos by in front of the vista from the driveway! Notes on the pool: gated. Stairs from the edge down to the 3' area, then slopes to 6' and 9'. Our 4 yo had enough 3' area to play freely. Shaded area made it pleasant to supervise. Not heated - it was a colder than you would like but not too bad. The hot tub was Gross when we got there, but the pool cleaner came the second full day we were there. After that it was great. The weak link is cleanliness. Generally it was clean-ish, but needed more work to be actually clean. There was garbage and a loofah left in a shower from previous guests. Bath tub was grimy, freezer had a spill in it. Smaller things, but added up to feeling like the cleaning was rushed and not thorough. I def appreciate we were there at peak time, maybe it's not the norm. Overall great stay, plenty of space, super responsive host. Thx!

This was a nice view property with plenty of parking plus garage access. We made good use of the nicely maintained pool, hot tub, fire pit table set, and gas grill. Interior was spacious throughout, and the kitchen was well-stocked, although there were no steak knives, and we could have used more forks. The beds were comfortable. Communication with the host was very good. There were some known maintenance issues that are being addressed, and signs of the usual wear and tear, but we would stay there again.

House suites our needs perfectly. Everyone was comfortable. The house could use some minor updates but we liked it because there really wasn’t anything for anyone to ruin or damage. When traveling with a large group and kids, it’s nice not to have to worry about new light carpets or expensive art and furniture.

Not easy to find a home that can house our large 20 person family. This house was perfect for us! The bonus was the 4th of July show we could easily see from the property. Would love to come back next year and do it again!

We had a wonderful long weekend with our large family. The house was more than large enough for our group of 16. The owner was very responsive to any of our questions. I was surprised to find out that the pool wasn’t heated, but luckily we had very warm days, so it was ok.

We, four families stayed on our annual trip and everyone was pleased with this mansion.

We rented this house because of the pool, and then were unable to use it because it couldn't be heated. The listing needs to say this. Truly it is not available May 1 to October 1. The house is in dire need of many minor repairs. I advise that you let someone stay there for free, while repairing so many little problems - perhaps after a week most would be done. There are no longer FUTONS in the bedrooms as mentioned in the listings. Just a queen bed and a couch that pulls into a sofa. We were also unable to use the DVD player, because it wouldn't talk to the TV. Also a disappointment. We had created movies on DVDs we wanted to watch with the group because it was two people's 60th birthday. With some effort and clarification, this would be a much better rental.

This property was PERFECT for our group of baseball players. We had 2 minor issues. 1. When we went to go to bed the first night some of the blankets/sheets were still damp. Also there were not sheets for all the pull out beds. Most of our kids had sleeping bags, but it would have been an issue otherwise!
