Leading up to the stay, the owner responded very quickly to any questions or concerns I had, as well as throughout our weekend stay. The check-in process was very easy and smooth. The house was in a great location and was stocked with simple items that you may forget (bug spray, games, condiments, etc). The house was also very spacious for 12 people, we never felt crowded. Overall it was a great stay and we would love to rent this property again in the future!!
The house location is perfect with great layout for a family get away. Also has plenty of games including the pool table to keep the family entertained.
House was great. Very clean with everything you would need for a weekend getaway. The view of the river from the porch was beautiful. Game room provided hours of entertainment
8 adults and 4 kids stayed in the home
Plenty of room for everyone, the house is very welcoming and has the things you need for your stay. We were able to check in a little early too, host was great at responding. We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place, highly recommend.
This house was great for our family! The game room was one of the main reasons we selected this house and it didn’t disappoint, the whole family enjoyed some friendly competition! The house was very clean and appreciated the nice linens in each of the rooms and bathrooms. Outside the house, we enjoyed evenings on the porch and swing and the kids enjoyed the lake (river), even though the water level is very low it was still great for kayaking and floating around. Overall great house and Ai (owner) was a pleasure from start to finish. Thanks again for sharing your home with my family!
We planned to float the River. The property was comfy and huge! We had ten people with us and it didn’t feel cramped at all. The pool table/ game room was a huge plus. The balcony was perfect for hanging out. Great trip!
