10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The property was wonderful for a family reunion, with features for adults and children of all ages. The kids and grandkids loved the rope swing, zip line, foosball ping pong and adjacent Fox Run Park. We all enjoyed the fire pit, game room with pool table and smart TV, games on the grass area, and roomy balcony seating with a view. And of course the relaxing soothing jacuzzi with powerful jets. The spacious house provided allows for group activities as well as alone time. We even had one member who conducted some business from what we called the hobbit room upstairs. There was prompt assistance for any issues that came up. The bed configuration on the website is not quite up to date; there are more beds but full size beds replace some queens.

We had an amazing family reunion at this property. The property is very large and felt fairly secluded. Yet it was only about a 7 minute drive to several grocery stores and any other store you might need. There were 22 of us and everyone had a place. There are beds for 25 people. Plus I saw a crib in a closet. You can see from the pictures how many beds are in each room. It took some planning to get all the couples in their own space, but we used an air mattress for younger cousins to be together without having to share with older married ones. There's are so many neat spaces to spend time together (outdoor fire pit, balcony with seating, patio, pool table). The kitchen worked well for us. It is stocked with the basics. There's a gas barbeque on the lower level patio. Host was quick to respond to any questions or issues. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a fantastic family reunion. The home is beautiful and spacious. The outside grass area, fire pit, playhouse and rope swing were a hit! Great property to walk and explore. Across the street was fun - playground and turtles. I gave accuracy on listing a 3 because it was marketed as an 8 bedroom- it is not! There’s definitely enough sleeping spaces but 8 rooms should be 8 private rooms. We would have preferred 8 private spaces due to the size and various ages in our group.

We stayed here for a family reunion with 18 months up to 93 years old. Could not have been better for every guest. We never even considered leaving the property. We were missing some ping pong paddles and with one text to the property manager they were delivered within the hour ! Beautiful and very private
