Stayed Dec 26, 2025Mansion was great! There were 27 of us staying and it never felt crowded. Whiffle ball out back, fishing on the dock, football games on TV in one of the downstairs family rooms, 1000-piece puzzle being worked on at one of the dining room tables, meals being prepared in the huge kitchen, all of this going on at once! we had a blast. This place was well stocked with ALL the kitchen tools needed, plenty of hot water, not a single complaint from any of the family or friends who stayed the 4 days with us. Love the originalness of a 100 year old mansion with modern conveniences.

Stayed Oct 21, 2024My husband and I, our 6 children and their very young families joined together at this beautiful home. It was the perfect place for our gathering. Each family had plenty of individual space and the home also provided lovely and comfortable communal space so that we could all eat and be together for evening activities. Communication with the hosts was incredible and they went above and beyond helping us secure more porta-cribs and answering any questions in an extremely timely way. We enjoyed the beautiful setting and grounds, and the location was fantastic for our schedule. Though the home reflects its age, it is charming and has been carefully cared for and upgrades are beautiful. The carriage house was perfection and a wonderful addition to the historic home. The entire family loved it and we are so grateful for such a fabulous place to stay. It will provide memories for years and years to come. Thank you!

Stayed Sep 22, 2024A group of ladies stayed at the house. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms with multiple kitchens. The house is 100 years old. It had a wonderful water view. The house requires some TLC both inside and out. We had an issue with pests inside the house. The manager brought traps but we still had issues with ants. The outside needed cleaning and the landscaping is overgrown.

Stayed Dec 23, 2023We chose this property for our family Christmas (about 30 of us)! The house worked really well! Loved it, enough room in the back yard for games and got to watch dolphins each day! A short drive to a nice public beach! Great host! A child broke a window and we had no problem working with them to have it repaired! Covered by trip insurance!

Stayed Dec 27, 2023Great old house with updated kitchens. Had a group of 17 and we comfortably fit. Plenty of TVs and separate spaces to gather as a group and have some alone time. Recommend if you need a big space for a big group.
