Ratings and reviews
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
The views and location of the property were amazing. The layout of the house facilitated the needs of our multi-generational family visit. The kitchen and dinning table worked great as we had a private chef prepared dinner one evening. As far as the home itself, the wear and tear is extremely noticeable and needs some attention. Cleanliness was not up to par for the price point. All that said- our family had a great time and the property accommodated our large group.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
our check in was effortless, the house was amenitized well and the kitchen had everything that was needed, we had an awesome time!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2025
Lovely house and the whole process was super easy to coordinate - highly recommend!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2024
The home is very spacious with an outstanding view.
7 big bedrooms with baths, wonderful for our family
Thanksgiving. The house itself is in need of some maintenance,
Especially the kitchen. Cabinet doors are loose, oven
seal is non existent and while there are sufficient plates and
cookware, there is a shortage of wine glasses that aren't plastic!
For a home in this “luxury “ category, there should be more than
one small bath towel per person. Ancient TVs and a noisy inefficient heating system.
Some baths have leaky plumbing.
