There were 9 of us staying in the home on a girls' trip. We could have fun together in a paper sack, but we love a home with a great pool and outdoor space, lots of beds and bathrooms. We never spend time in a house other than to sleep and prep food. This home checked the boxes when it came to plenty of beds and bathrooms! We were all super comfortable. Sheets and pillows were comfy! The kitchen was spacious and lovely! The pics of the pool were a bit misleading -- the pool is TINY! But we were able to keep cool and wet the entire weekend. Requests to use the hot tub were honored. I can't give 5 stars because the patio was not as shown. There were a few sitting chairs, but no chaises as we thought there would be. Landscaping needed some attention too. Due to a recent storm, a few windows were broken, but they were double-paned so broken glass wasn't an issue for us but they were quite an eyesore. The place is almost AMAZING. It almost feels like it's 80% done. Maybe one day it will be a 100% rental. There are two other homes on the property that seem a little more upscale than the home we rented, but the way they are laid out respects privacy for each. We had no interactions, purposely or accidental with guests in the other two homes. We wouldn't stay there again, but honestly we like to go to new places each year. We slept great, had comfortable meal prep, but would have liked to see the outdoor space receive a little more TLC.
Grandpa and Grandma (me) plus kids and their families - 16 in all - lots of little ones. Communication with hosts was immediate. Very responsive. Place and pool very clean. Kitchen well equipped and table (plus barstools) able to seat all of us!!!!!
Only glitch - and as a grandma I was not unhappy for less screen time- the internet was unreliable even cell service was not great. If you are needing to use your laptop for a little work while you’re there, make sure they have fixed the issue.

Over all this property checks a lot of boxes all for a large family get together. The kitchen is very spacious and lots of room. I’m sure it’s hard to keep stuff organized with different people in and out but everything was so disorganized and things like pots weren’t all centrally located in one cabinet. We had a group of 18, they definitely didn’t have enough dinner plates, bowls, cups for our whole group, so plan accordingly to have paper plates/cups/bowls.
The bedroom arrangement and bunk room worked out great for us and the smaller sitting room was nice to sit in with a couple people if you wanted to get away from the large group. It appeared as though a storm had been through recently, almost all the chairs around the fire pit were damaged and broken pieces were everywhere. We personally spent some time cleaning up the fire pit area so we could enjoy it a bit more and not be tripping over tree limbs and debris. The first night we were there we notice the 3 bedrooms on the same side of the house were all a bit hot, the property manager was very responsive and had a company out a few hours later they got us fixed up and the rooms were all cooled before we went to bed. I think they did a band-aid fix because we had to let her know again about a day 1/2 later they were hot and it seemed the unit was no longer working. Again, she was very responsive and had them come back out. The rooms were never unbearable but I felt like the home owner had paid for a service to have them fix it and wanted it fixed right for them.
Things I think this property could improve is making sure there are enough dining room table chairs. There is a very large table but I think it maybe had 8 chairs if that, we pulled up coolers and sat on those but would have been nice to have 12-14 chairs that I believe the large table could accommodate.
WiFi - I know they can only work with what’s offered out there but we had a hard time even streaming a movie so that was kind of a bummer.
The outside of the property is a bit lack luster - landscaping is non existent and what little stuff was there like landscaping lights were all broken and just not unkept. With that said this didn’t hinder us from having fun and enjoying the outdoor living space, pool, and lake.
Overall we would probably stay at this property again as it was clean inside, and had lots of space for our family to spend time together.
The size of the home is perfect for a large group because everyone has their own space. The large bunk room is perfect for kids and teens to hang out together. We enjoyed the pool as well as the lake for fishing. I only rated this property 4 stars for cleanliness because the grass was a little tall and the swimming pool area was very cobwebby but this is the lake so it really wasn’t an issue for us. The property managers were very quick to respond whenever I needed them.
