    Overall it was a very nice stay. There was a lot of good information sent ahead of our stay regarding check in and check out procedures. Location was in a quiet community within a quick drive to several resaurants, groceries and Wisp. House had plenty of space for our large family gathering. Parking was limited to 6 vehicles but there was enough space for probably 8 so it didnt feel too tight.Communication once we got to the house was pretty sparse. The thermostat was locked when we arrived and the inside temp was at 61. There was no response to the messages I left on VRBO in 2 different places and I was able to get through to customer service the next day and they said they would have the maintenace team contact me but I never heard from them either. Fortunately the temperatures were very mild (early October) so it was manageable. House was fairly clean but could have used a deeper clean that I would expect for a house at this price point.

    Celebrated the big 60 with friends and family. This house is perfect for hosting a large group - plenty of space for people to spread out. We loved the experience.

    We had a great long weekend with multiple families at Castle in the Sky. Check in was easy and the house looks exactly as it does in photos. We had a group of 15 and there was plenty of parking and space for everyone, including for meals. We noticed a small leak during our stay and the property manager got maintenance there quickly to resolve. The only thing I’d note for future visitors is the house doesn’t have any cooking basics (no salt, pepper, oil, etc.) but nothing a trip to the grocery store can’t fix. Overall a great weekend!

    A perfect home for my 40th birthday. This was the perfect home for our needs. Everybody having king beds and their own separate bedrooms but a nice common area to hang out. The home was spacious and had everything we needed. There was a loose toilet on the top floor and a leaking bathroom sink in the basement. It didn’t stop us from having a good time but it should be noted. Our only complaint was, we couldn’t get the code to work when we got there! And after a long drive that’s frustrating! There were also some dirty towels left from previous owners. However, the home met all of our needs and allowed go to make life long memories.

    We stayed here, three different families, and it was great! The perfect amount of space for everyone to feel comfortable and relax yet enough room that the crying toddlers didn't wake each other up! the adults also had a great time at night inside and out without waking up the kiddos! Lots to do, great time was had by all!

    Seven of us stayed here in September. The house is on the mountain overlooking the lake. You can see the lake, but it’s off in the distance. The neighborhood is well kept. We saw lots of deer and even a few bears on our daily walks. It was just a short drive to the lake, although public access was limited. The house was big, very well done and perfect to host a group of our size.

    We had a large group of adults and kids stay here and the house was great space for all!  It was a quick drive to the boat rentals, ice cream, and grocery store.   I was disappointed on the cleanliness of the home.  The floor and tables in the main area was sticky and dirty upon arrival.  The bottom of our feet and our children's were black after walking barefoot.  There was some trash and other items found under beds as well.
