Holiday World Family Trip

We stayed two nights. It was easy to check in and out. There were some concerns that I shared with the host and she was very accepting of them. We would stay here again, hopefully for our next holiday world trip!

Family vacation

We enjoyed the amenities and closeness to Holiday World. The children loved playing in the big yard. The kitty was an added bonus! Gas station next door was useful. The children were a little disappointed because in pictures it showed bunk beds, but there weren't any. Overall though, it was a great stay and fun trip for all!

Great family place

We had a wonderful stay with our family ranging from adulthood to infant. They had everything we needed and more. The only problem was the pictures with the listing show a bunk which we were hoping to have and they had a twin with a trundle. Which eorked out finebut would have preferred the bunk bed.worked out fine

Perfect Location for Lincoln Amphitheater

Our band played at Lincoln Amphitheater and needed a local stay for some of the band and crew. This worked perfectly for our needs. The venue was literally just a few minutes down the road. The owner was responsive, everything was clean and we had plenty of places for people to sleep. The kitchen had pots/pans/dishes for the quick breakfast we made. And my two teenagers were absolutely thrilled to find there was a cat on the property. If we come back to Lincoln City we would definitely stay here again!

Cozy home with close proximity to Holiday World

We had a wonderful stay overall. Our first evening, we went down to Lincoln State Park and did some hiking/swimming. The next 2 days, we ventured to Holiday World, which was an extremely easy drive from this location. We had a group of 12 people, 5 adults/7 kids, and we comfortably fit in this house. It was wonderful to have the air mattress and pull out couch available to make it happen! Kitchen was also great and included everything we needed to prepare our meals. Only negative to this house was the location. On 2 different days, we had people wander onto the property and not say a word to us. We also awoke our 1st morning to find someone had vandalized/broken into a vending machine across the street. With several young kids in our group, we didn't always feel the safest here...

Nice but overpriced

Property is nice but not as nice as nightly rate plus fees would suggest. Two nights just under one thousand dollars. No way twelve people could sleep there comfortably. We filled the place with six adults and two small children. It wasn't as clean as one would expect. Windows, mirrors were dirty and house was dusty throughout. Lots of little things require maintenance, storm door doesn't close, deck sags, rocky area to walk on is trip hazard, promised wood for fire pit wasn't there, central air unit sounds like a jet plane starting up, grill ran out of propane during use, clothes washer wasn't available. . The house desparately needs some TLC.

Wonderful Experience!

We greatly enjoyed our stay and loved working with Tonya as our host! The house was clean, it was a great location (especially to Holiday World where we vacationing), the beds were comfortable and we felt so welcomed. The only thing missing was an extra set of sheets for the pullout sofa, so make sure to bring an extra set!

Family reunion

The house was clean and well stocked. The air conditioner was VERY loud when it was running. Could not hear the small TV in living room at all when it was running. As a suggestion: one of our family members is in a handicap cart. We had to pick the cart up over the end of back deck and again into the house. It would not take much to make a ramp at the deck and at the back door. The house was no problem getting around in withe cart. Master shower was also accessible for the handicapped person. Over all, the home was very nice and close to Holiday World and the state park.

Weekend Getaway!

We LOVED the place we were very very satisfied and it’s so close to Holiday World too which is why we booked it! We will definitely be coming to stay again hopefully soon or even next summer if we plan a trip! We needed to rent an extra day at the last minute and she was so understanding about it and approved us for another day! Highly satisfied and will recommend to everyone I know!

Nice place but calling it 4 bedrooms is generous

We stayed here was part of a road trip with extended family. We had 7 adults (3 couples and a single) and 2 infants. I was a little disappointed to find that the "fourth bedroom" is literally the living room pullout couch. Fortunately my parents and my sister didn't mind sharing the blue bedroom. Otherwise a very cozy little place and very close to Holiday World and a grocery store. We enjoyed making s'mores over the fire pit after a full day at the park

Wasn't terrible....

The location was perfect for Holiday World. The house was not very clean and needed a better paint job in a few rooms that had patches done....but I clean and paint for a living, so I am pretty picky. Unfortunately there were mouse droppings on the kitchen counters when we woke up the next morning. There were plenty of pillows in the closet except there were no pillow cases for them. Could have used a few more blankets. We would have brought our own if we knew there were only 2 extra ones. Did not have a fitted or flat sheet for the air mattress. No dressers to put clothes into. That would have been nice to have. The TV's did not work couldnt get them to work. No remote for master bedroom and the TV in the living room a bit small for the size of group that it sleeps. Overall it wasn't terrible. For the price we paid...I would have expected a little more upgrades. I would not recommend for a lot of adults. Its meant for young children because the beds are so small for grown adults. And the beds are not comfortable at all. Again great location for Holiday World!

About the host

Hosted by Tonya Lynam

Host profile image
I'm the mother of 2 grown children and 3 beautiful grand babies. My day job is cyber/information security within the financial industry. I teach at a college level (management, operations, human resource, IT courses) once a week. I love to be with my family, boating, golfing, camping, hiking - basically anything active. Being outside brings me great joy.

Why they chose this property

I was raised near this property. My parents are just a few blocks away. It is a wonderful place to share with others. I lived away and moved back - just seeing the drive through Lincoln State Park is priceless. Holiday World, the Christmas Store, Santa's Stables are owned by people I know personally. My property is private. It offers a family environment but also great for friends to enjoy the outdoors together.

What makes this property unique

Large firepit, grill, indoor games, outdoor games, a tree swing, and covered picnic area.
