Our family had the best vacation ever, we had such a great time we want to go back! Our party had an array of ages from 60 plus to 1 year old and we all laughed and blended well with each other. My fiance had his whole family there and so did I and it was such a great bonding experience! The estate is absolutely amazing, it feels like you are in your own little world. We did all kinds of outdoor activities, roasting marshmallows at story time around the campfire being one of the kids favorites! Fireworks after bar b q on the deck was awesome! The outdoor pool water slide was a fabulous hit for everyone and really fun! The indoor pool was amazing, swimming in a heated pool while our favorite tunes played on the surround sound was great. Or if you wanted to go into the hot tub and relax you can do that too! I want to mention how you can swim and watch a football game on the flat screen also with surround sound! Now where all of the men in our party was at the most, the basketball court. There is a indoor half court basketball court. It was totally awesome!!! We had all kinds of pick up games all throughout the day! Very entertaining!!!! The inside of the estate is just as lovely as the outside. There is a unique pit room where all of the children watched tv. It was great because as the ladies cooked in the kitchen we could look over the pit and see the children. The living room was very nice and spacious with also a view of the outdoor pool to check on the children. Overall our family is very excited to go back and Mr. Wiseman was such a great help in every way. We loved the Wiseman house and would encourage anyone to stay.

It was everything we could ask for! The house layout is perfect, lots of places to gather together! Everyone was entertained with all the amenities it offers, It was a perfect fit for our entire family and visitors! We will rent it again next year, we have stayed and looked at alot of homes and none compare to this one!

We stayed in this rental from the 2nd of April to the 5th of April. It was so huge! There was eight of us and three teenage girls. The beds were extremely comfortable, the inside pool was just great and my husband loved the hot tub. Even though this house is in a neigborhood, you can't tell you have neighbors. The deck was great for grilling out and for the girls to catch some rays. Eating breakfast and looking out into the huge front yard was awesome too. Every morning we had a visitor..neigborhood bunny. The stereo sound system in the pool area was great too. Once the girls found a good station I dont think the music was ever turned off and the people in the mail house could not hear the music. Basketball court and tennis court was great too.

Our family including children, spouses, and grandchildren, just spent one week in this home. It was in town, yet so secluded we felt as if we had no neighbors. We had easy access to many activities, with a wonderful local grocery store three minutes away. It had plenty of room to sleep 14 (four families). The yard was large and the back lot was fenced in, which made it nice for families with small children. The pools, tennis courts, hot tub and basketball court were very clean and well-kept. The owner of the property even stopped in mid-week to check the pool. The home was clean too, could use some updating, but was still very nice. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would rent it again if we went to that area. .

Pros -Enormous house with plenty of room to spread out -Large, modern kitchen with plenty of seating -Great little nooks like the sunken TV room -Plenty of beds and bedrooms -Jim's willingness to allow you to have a large number of people for one price -Variety of activities on site: pool, hot tub, tennis court, gymnasium -Very secluded -Lots of towels Cons -Landscaping is a weedy mess. The pictures make it look very flowery and beautiful. That is no longer the case. It’s now overgrown with 3 ft tall weeds. -The house was very dirty despite having just been cleaned by a cleaning service. -Lots of mildew growth in the indoor pool house -We arrived thinking we would have access to everything on the site, but the outdoor pool was being repaired, so there was just a large gaping hole outside. Thankfully, we didn’t have children there. It would have been a huge hazard if little ones were present. It would have been nice to know about this BEFORE we arrived. We did have the indoor pool. -Hot tub needs a railing or non-skid stickers. One of the ladies slipped on the step and fell into the hot tub. She had several injuries. -Bed linens were used and one comforter had white crusty stuff. We washed all our linens and remade the beds before sleeping. -Filthy, stained, stinky pillows. -Lots of exposed electrical wires inside and on the pool deck. -The basement has a corner that leaks. When you get out of the bed, you step on the wet carpet. Also, that bed is held up on 1 corner by a phone book. -Filthy fridge with lots of spilled mess in it. -All outdoor sliding glass doors have broken locks, so the property is unlocked at all times. -The basement smells strongly of mildew Overall, would I stay there again? If all the hazards were repaired, yes. As is, no way. I also think Jim needs to hire a new cleaning service. The house has obviously seen its fair share of college parties and I don’t blame Jim a bit for adding no décor or breakables because of that. We felt very deceived about the outdoor pool and we should have been told about that up front. He emailed me later to tell me that he cleaned the mildew in the pool house and sealed the exposed wiring. Jim offered us a refund of $250 plus ½ the cleaning deposit. We felt that was fair and gladly accepted it. I sure hope he keeps this place in a little better shape. It could have a lot of charm.
