    This is a lovely house- clean- and great location. Messaged with property manager a couple of times prior to stay and they were quick to respond- much appreciated the fast response. I was in town for a wedding and the house was so beautiful we had the bride get ready at the house. Was hopeful she would have taken some photos there but we ran out of time. Thank you for a great stay

    Used as a company retreat. It is a beautiful property that I'd use again. Very private. Sleeps 7 is true, but only 4 bedrooms (it looked like more in pics - more of a VRBO issue). Hosts were great and clear about expectations. Comfortable accommodations. It was a great space.

    House was scrupulously clean and well appointed. All the information we needed was easy to find. Lovely setting and plenty of space for our mid-sized group to spread out throughout the day.

    The house and property were immaculate and beautiful. The manager was somewhat short with me when I reached out regarding sending the code to enter the property which I felt was unnecessary, especially considering the premium price we paid for the house. We did enjoy our stay and appreciate being close to the venue we had planned for our family get togethers.

    The property was very well maintained on a beautiful manicured lot. Plenty of seating for our group of 8. The kitchen was well stocked with many kitchen utensils to prepare a meal. We do have a few suggestions: When we arrived there was only 1/4 of a paper towel roll. Please have an extra roll on hard. There were no storage bags, plastic wrap or tin foil. If you have foil it will save on the wear and tear of your pans. You also did not have any Pyrex type storage containers. With a big house and grill I am sure your guests eat in. Finally, there were hardly any hand towels & was cloths (not very sanitary with one bath on the main floor). Finally, not many bath towels & quality of the towels did not match the house. These are a few suggestions that would have helped may our brief stay more enjoyable when preparing meals. Thank you very much! Over all you have beautiful property and great for families or multiple couples! :-)
