Lovely Stay

A lovely home for a family stay. My kids really enjoyed the game room and loft. We were bummed that the nets on the tennis court were down and not usable (didn't realize they were part of the office season), but otherwise the neighborhood was great. The beds are crazy marshmallow soft, so a heads up if you prefer a firm mattress!

First Time Renting

Overall not bad. Nice ammenities. The outside could of been cleared when we arrived so we could of used the closer driveway and sidewalk. The outside lights did not work, but had flashlights inside the cabin. The inside had a stuffy, moldy smell. Had to purchase new air freshner. A lot of cobwebs around front door, around outside of cabin and needed dusting inside. The most bothering thing that almost ruined the trip was that the master bedroom sheets had not been washed and the entire bed was covered in dog hair and dirt. Few of the small appliances had not been cleaned after using. Would of gave 5 stars for everything else.cleanedcabin.

Great weekend

Lovely home. Nice that it was pet friendly. Location to clubhouse was great, location to basic necessities not as great. Plenty of sleeping space. Garbage disposal super inconvenient and way too many bugs for this city gal.
