Large Estate with Luxury Collection of Amenities

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and spacious. Every room was nice and the bathrooms were as well. The homeowner was very responsive to our questions.

Exactly as advertised. Absolutely MASSIVE property, you could camp an Army platoon here and would take you a weekend just to see the entire property. 8 large beds, kind of a mix of en suite and Jack & Jill bathrooms. Two of the 8 beds are in a shared bedroom but very nice. Really amazing place. Hosts are super responsive. Very, very on top of things with a hundred cameras all over the house, a detailed booklet of “how the house works” with an index and sub headings etc. there is a multi person cleaning crew that descends at 10am sharp on checkout day and whips the place into shape. Only concern is that once you book, they extort you with an additional 500 or more for rhe “additional benefit” of using the pool and hot tub. They say this detail is in the listing, but I certainly don’t notice it and I hope they have made this more clear because the pricing is quite intentionally misleading by this small rewrite amount. Classic bait and switch like someone showing up at a Facebook marketplace exchange when you’re committed to the item and only having 80% of the asking price on them.

The Good: The property was as advertised with all house amenities present and available. Exterior amenities would be amazing in the summer when all available.- Pool table, foosball and ping pong were great fun- BBQ, dining table, cutlery and dishware made a group meal easy- The provided toiletries were a plus- Bath / shower consumables were quality- Provided slippers, robes and towels were awesome.- The sauna worked well and was a huge hitThe bad: Due to snow the owner tried to cancel the agreed upon year round hot tub option on us 48 hrs before check-in. It was eventually made available after some back and forth but it was more stress and work on me for an agreed upon paid extra that was important to us than it should've been.The house interior had some issues that would've been nice to have disclosed prior to booking or check-in. But we were well beyond the point of no return and we chose to avoid and look past them to fully enjoy our stay.- Uneven interior flooring in main area that was coming up (actual tripping hazard)- At least 2 shower valves that weren't working properly. Thankfully one of them was in the double shower (one almost burned me giving hot water only with no adjustment).- Theater room projector is pointed very high up and off the wall and couldn't really be enjoyed as intended.We stayed for one night with a group of friends and had a great time as it was the company that was important to us and nothing was a total deal breaker for our stay.

property was beautiful for our family gathering but house had rules posted everywhere which seemed unnecessary, to the point we felt as if anything we did could result in a lawsuit

This was an excellent property for a small family birthday gathering. Communication with the host was excellent, both before, during, and after the stay. A minor malfunction was addressed promptly and competently. There were lots of activities for the small children and lots of room for children and adults to spread out. The dining room very comfortably seats sixteen, which was a great pleasure for breakfasts and dinners. Everyone in our group had a bed, which was an important consideration for me. Bathrooms are either shared between two bedrooms or ensuite, which was another important consideration. After our stay, the host and I discussed some minor additions to the kitchen amenities that she assures will be addressed, either in the provisions or by adding to the recommended packing list. A minor point that would only be obvious to short people like me is the very high shelving in the kitchen and servery cabinets. However, the host has taken that into consideration and tells me that she will investigate more accessible options for future guests. Recycling is not an option because of the contract the host has with the waste management company. Future guests might want to plan ahead for reboxing beer bottles & cans and bringing their own bins to bring recyclable waste back home. Overall, it was a fun weekend in a property that was the perfect size for our family. I recommend this property for an event like ours, & can see how it would also be ideal for a small wedding.
