Reviews

• Amazing stay

  5/5

  Clean, beautiful home, and amazing gifts

• Bachelorette party R&R

  5/5

  I hosted a bachelorette party for my best friend with a total of 10 people. This house had more than enough space for everyone to stay and everyone to gather on both levels and outside! We rented a boat from Toontastic all weekend and really enjoyed ourselves! The house is a quick drive from Carlos creek winery and 20 minutes from Alexandria. In a quiet neighborhood on a dead end road so rarely we heard cars drive by! The bay we were in was quiet also. Will be recommending this house to friends and family!

• Relaxing Bachelorette Party

  5/5

  We had 10 girls stay here for a 4 day weekend. We were able to relax, feel safe and go for awesome boat rides right outside of the house! The house was stocked with everything we needed, including extra lawn chairs and all kitchen items needed! The staff member that we worked with, Marisa, ensured our stay was enjoyable and we had all amenities needed. The location is a quick 10 minute drive to Carlos Creek Winery. We rented a pontoon from Toontastic Rentals, which was affordable and also a great company to work with! Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending this house to others!

• Peaceful and relaxing stay!

  5/5

  The property is lovely and just as described in the listing. The check-in/check-out process was simple and the owners were responsive to questions and requests.

  The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools and appliances necessary to cook meals. There were plenty of sheets and towels too. The basement bedrooms got quite chilly so blankets were needed in that level.

  Our family enjoyed the laid-back vibe of this unit. We were far enough away from town to feel a bit secluded, yet close enough to town to grab a pizza, pick up some groceries or do a bit of shopping. The kayaks and canoe were greatly appreciated. We didn't have the best of luck with the paddle boat, but maybe we just didn't know how to operate it properly. The fishing off the dock was superb. The grands were entertained there for hours. Thanks so much for dropping off the extra life jackets. With 6 adults in the house, we definitely needed those larger size jackets. Lastly, we spent lots of time on the back porch visiting, playing games, and enjoying the view. It might have been our favorite spots of the home.

  The only suggestions I have are minor ones. We could have used another couple of boxes of tissues and extra paper towels during our stay. Perhaps those items were available, but I just didn't locate them. Travelers should know there is no "beach area" for swimming at this property. That was not essential for our trip, but worth noting if your family likes to swim daily.
