Very nice property

This property was as advertised. It’s a beautiful location and the stream and property is beautiful.Only issues we ran into was it was difficult to control overnight temperatures as we normally like 69 but thermostat automatically turned temps up to 73 after 11:30 even though we set to 69 before bedtime. Would like more privacy blinds in the main and upstairs bedrooms. Game room downstairs is well stocked with games and pool table was great. Didn’t use the hot tub but noted the temperature was cool when we arrived. Maybe the tenant was required to turn up temperature when arriving. The property management team was great and came out to turn on all fireplaces within a hour after we placed the request.

Beautiful, even when flooded 😳

It was a great weekend for our small staff retreat. The accommodations were wonderful, even with the heavy rains and water level rising to the first step of the back deck.

Great accommodations

This property is so comfortable with 4 bedrooms and 4 and 1/2 bathrooms. My only recommendation is that the mattresses upstairs are not very comfortable nor or the pillows in the basement suite.
