We had the best time at this place over the 4th of July weekend. The weather wasn’t perfect but having access to the indoor and outdoor pools at the resorts was awesome. Highly recommend staying here, we definitely would again—hopefully in the fall for the changing leaves!

Great Stay!

A group of 50ish year old college buddies for a golf weekend. Place was great and very much appreciated the availability of wood for the fire pit as it does get a bit chilly at night in June! Inside was well stocked. Great golf courses very close or within a reasonable commute if you wanted to go a bit further out. Communication with owner was excellent. Would definitely stay here again if back to the area.

Beautiful All Around

I booked this house for a friends trip up north to see the fall colors and it did not disappoint. The house was everything we wanted with incredible views off the back porch. The owners were excellent about communication and even reached out the first day of our stay to make sure we made it safely. House is a short drive to everything we needed in town while being secluded enough to get away from it all. Would highly recommend to all.

Thanksgiving with family

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was cozy and provided a nice place for our family to gather over the holiday. We enjoyed sitting around the fire and playing board games. Having access to the indoor pool was an extra bonus. The only snafu, was the trash hadn’t been picked up before we arrived, so the bins were full… not the fault of the property owners however.

Relaxing

The property was the perfect size for our family stay. The online description was spot on. We all felt comfortable staying for a long weekend. Our only negative was there was no shampoo or soap for the showers and limited linens for the bathroom and kitchen, definitely nothing that would stop me from staying again.
