We had a fantastic stay! Eight of us stayed at the house for the weekend and we had additional guests over one day to celebrate grandmas 88th birthday! The kids loved the arcade games and popcorn machine and the adults made use of the numerous patio spaces outdoors.

This was a perfect stay for our multi family stay. There are so many areas throughout the house that make this place unique. There’s also many different nooks that, if you just want your own peace and quiet, “away from family and friends”, you can escape too, The lower level bedroom has its own private full-size bathroom. Only thing I have already recommended is to have a small area in the lower level bedroom to hang your clothes in…otherwise the place was perfect! Will definitely be staying here again!

Incredible week!

We stayed here for a week leading up to our wedding, with the wedding taking place here as well. The wedding party was able to stay with us the whole week and we had a wonderful time. In fact, we’re already planning on coming back next year to celebrate our anniversary!The host was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We had a minor maintenance issue on the first day of our stay, and someone was sent over quickly to fix the issue, which took less than half an hour. We definitely recommend this place!

Birthday Party

Decided to do my 22nd birthday party at this unique place! Everything you see in the pictures is exactly the same in person but the in person are more amazing. Me, my family, and friends got to explore everything it has and we thought it was very cool! We all had so much fun being there and it was definitely worth it! It felt like we were all in a different country because of the setting of the place which is we love so much!
