Comfortable space for our group of 12. There was a little confusion regarding the bed configuration/setup, but management was responsive and we got it squared away fairly quickly.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
Beautiful home and property! It was the perfect setting for our Christian Women’s Retreat. The house is very spacious and the master bedroom is enormous, with plenty of extra space. That’s why I was surprised that we were charged an additional 300 for three extra guests (we had 19 total), especially since there was easily enough room to accommodate a couple of airbeds in the master bedroom and living area.A few things to note for future guests: a walk-through is required by the person who booked the home before anyone can enter, and the gate code isn’t provided until that’s completed and guest numbers are verified. The extra guest fee also had to be paid at that time, which made arrival a bit stressful.While the listing photos show a beautiful pool, hot tub, slide, and grotto, these amenities can only be operated by the owner remotely. You must text the owner to have them turned on, and use is limited to three hours per day. The hot tub, for example, takes about 30 minutes to heat and is available for 1.5 hours of use — plenty of time, but it was inconvenient to have to text each time.The same applied to the fireplace — I had to text the owner to turn it on, and the switch to turn it off didn’t seem to work properly, as it would cycle on and off throughout the day.Overall, it’s a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay, but it was frustrating to have to coordinate so frequently with the owner during our retreat, especially when we were trying to focus on meals, fe

Location was as described with nothing hidden. Host was easily accessible via text group chat. We would be happy to stay at this location again in the future.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
Our stay got off to a very poor start.The owner emailed me to let me know that the aircontioning was out--the tempeture outside was 94 degrees. She offered early check-in, but by the time her message arrived we couldn't arrive early. To her credit, she had her maintenance person install two portable airconditioners.This was complete slightly after 6 PM. The kitchen was unbearably hot but we had brought live lobsters so we had no alternative but to cook them...making the kitchen even hotter.I feel the advertising for this property is very deceptive. It shows a beautiful pool, hot tub, slide,etc. However, to use them, you must text the owner who will start them remotely. Your are limited to only 3 hours per day--for the hot tub, it is 30 minutes to heat, then you get 1.5 hours.This is plenty of time, but ridiculous to be texting to turn it on.If you came here with kids, this would be a nightmare,as they would want to play on the slide, etc all day. There is 1 tank of gas for the BBQ; if you want to use the fire table, you are expected to move it yourself.Overall, this is a lovely property. Great outside sitting area, nice shared relaxing area inside.Kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of parking. The water is well water and not good.Owner does provide water and a great water dispenser that gives both hot and cold water. We did run out of water on the last day.This could be a fabulous retreat. My very strong recommendation is to raise the price and treat the guests like guests.
