Someplace Else
We had a fantastic time at Someplace Else. The view and sunsets from the balcony were amazing. The house was clean and had everything you would need. Plenty of games for the kids. House was a good size for 2 families of 4. I highly recommend Someplace Else as a place to stay.

Perfect Stay with Exceptional Amenities and Scenic Views
We had an amazing stay at this house! It had everything we needed, and my friends and I were really impressed with how well-prepared the owner was. The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need, making our stay incredibly comfortable. We were also offered the option to stay until late afternoon, which we gladly accepted. This was a huge plus, as it allowed us to enjoy a relaxing morning without having to rush. The amenities were fantastic—we had a great time playing ping pong, foosball, and billiards. The setting is incredible too, with beautiful natural surroundings and a lake view that added to the serene atmosphere. Overall, it’s a perfect place to stay. We will definitely consider coming back to this lovely house with such amazing hosts for our next trip. Highly recommended!

Nice Property But Was a Stressful Stay
Nice, clean and good holiday location but the cameras on-premise are too privacy intrusive. We’ve gone over the limit because only 10 people were allowed and we’ve been penalized. We knew it’s our fault but we felt the penalty was a bit harsh. I would have expected lesser $ per person penalty. It was a stressful stay due to multiple eviction warnings despite promising to pay the penalty. We left early morning as opposed to 6PM checkout but cleaned the house properly.
