We had a group of 5 soccer families stay and we all had a blast. We had plenty of places to get our own solitude and to hang out with the older kids in the game room, moms in one living room and dads in the other. The hot tub was great and hot water was never an issue with everyone on the same schedule. Wonderful stay for a getaway.

Another great stay here!

We’ve stayed here twice now for back to back weekends and had an excellent experience both times. The house is beautiful and we loved the view, hot tub, game room, and how many it sleeps. The host is super responsive and helpful and check in and check out went very smoothly. If you’re coming in the winter and there’s snow in the forecast, I do recommend having AWD or winter tires for the steep driveway.
