I couldn't have picked a better rental property. It accommodated all of my family. They had a Christmas tree which was perfect because we visited during the holidays. They had every amenity you could think of. We were not far from a local store. This property was beautiful and well decorated. Will book this property again.
We enjoyed our family holiday in your lovely home. The house was amazing and the location couldn’t have been better. We felt the house was top of the line and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The only small issue we had was the couches and chairs did not have that comfortable cozy, curl up in front of the fireplace feel. We plan on being back next year.
This is one of the top two vrbo houses I have ever seen. It has everything you need and more, for a large group. House was very clean upon arrival and communication with the host was spot on.
Everything was great! Plenty of room for 22 adults. It has all the cooking utensils you will need, well stocked with house hold items like toilet paper, trash bags. Some rooms dont have tvs and its hard exercise getting to and from the dock but its still a 10!
The property was way better in person than the pictures and that says a lot. Everything you need, they have. The amenities were perfect! We loved it so much we can’t wait to do our next retreat there again! Our guests loved it!
Great weekend property, extended family with 4 kids and spouses plus 7 grandchildren. House had everything we needed for sleeping, cooking and outdoor activities. It was convenient for all our kids and close to a store in Arley if we forgot anything. Evans Marine and Dunkin Bridge Marina are close for pontoon boat rental. We’ll definitely rent again.
Celebrated a 60th birthday with all the children, grandchildren and Sister. This place is perfect for large families. So much room! The amenities were perfect. Don’t pass this one up!!
Beautifully appointed, great communication with owner, and tons of great spots for our big family to hang out. The kids loved the water slide and the game room! Would def book again… can’t say enough good things. Enjoyed renting a pontoon from Evans Marine - easy pickup and dropoff at Duncan Bridge Marina.
Beautiful house! We loved our stay at Dwell.
We loved vacationing here. It was so clean, had everything we ever needed and close to a small grocery store just incase you forgot anything, the outdoor areas were just as beautiful. We will definitely book this again in the future!
This house is a gem! We stayed here with our adult children and grandchildren and the house was perfect for us. It is much more spacious than we realized it would be- it was more space than we needed, but since it was such a good value we didn’t mind that at all. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room and the second floor game room (especially the arcade game!), and enjoying the lake with the kayaks. The kitchen is beautiful- I loved cooking on that range!! I also appreciated how comfortable all of the beds were and the cute reading area upstairs. The walk down to the dock wasn’t bad at all for how high the house is- they have done a great job breaking it up with some beautiful decks and patios, so honestly there aren’t actually that many stairs- and we actually used the decks more than the dock because of how pretty the views were and all the great outdoor furniture. All in all, this was a fantastic stay and we look forward to returning again in the fall!
