Monticello's Magnificent Mansion! From the moment we pulled up into the tree lined driveway and saw the beautiful house with the crystal clear pool we knew we chose the right house. Spotless thanks to Jalissa who was on her way out as we arrived and was a wealth of information for nearby places to visit, eat, and shop. The open floor planned allowed the 8 of us to gather in the living room and dining room and I was able to be a part of the conversation while in the kitchen. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare, cook, and serve meals. The coffee bar was a welcome surprise. The beds are extremely comfortable and linens exceptional. Yes no need to take up space packing linens and towels, all were provided. Game room downstairs is a fun place to hang out. However the real draw to this house is the backyard deck which overlooks the lake/river where you can walk down to the dock and grab a paddle board or kayak and enjoy the serenity. A great ammenities as you usually have to rent these items. One guest fished off the dock and caught 4! Smores by the fire pit despite us all being adults! Shopping for groceries, liquor, or anything you might have forgotten is a quick 10 minute ride. Ben our host was awesome with communication! Always available to answer any questions. We brought our dog who had a great time in the grass and was happy to be outside. If I could give 6 stars I would. Our family has found our "happy place" and we plan on making this a yearly family trip!

The house was great for our group of 10! Awesome pizza oven, wood supplied. There is some maintenance/ renovation in progress on the house, the curtains in the master bedroom do not close enough to block out morning light, but if you need a six am natural alarm clock it’s got beautiful views. The entertainment and lake amenities were so nice.

The bedrooms and bathrooms were updated and beautiful. The kitchen and dining room is spacious and modern. The kitchen amenities could have been a bit better (no condiments, baking sheets, minimal spices). The sink was not draining well. Deck and basement could use some sprucing up and there were a few minor complaints that the host quickly responded to. There are plans for updates on the house this summer so I'm sure those minor details will be worked out. The lake, dock, kayak and paddleboard were great to have. The large fire pit area was also very nice. Pool was closed when we stayed so I'm not sure how that was. All in all, a great house.

Property was beautiful. No oven or m/w. Owner provided an instagrill but still not right. Pool heat wasn’t working. No shade at pool-no swim ladder at lake. Drainage issues in kitchen and downstairs bathrooms. Great pool table. Owner was responsive but no credit offered for the issues.
