Property was very clean and spacious. The outside area is nice place to hang out with friends. Overall a good place for a large group to go to sherwood forest faire.
Beautiful home. It was so quaint and perfect to relax. We loved the open concept, which allowed us to all stay connected while some were in the kitchen and others in the living room. The beds were comfortable and the tree in the stairway was a refreshing treat. The big windows allowed for extra light, which made it so relaxing. The kids loved the goats and donkeys too. We were at the Resort Lost Pines for a convention, but wanted a place to unwind and cook at the end of a long day. This was perfect! It was maybe a 5 minute drive to the resort, so we could go back and forth easily. We loved getting out of the hotel and having space to relax and cook. Highly recommend.
