    Area was great Overall it was ok to stay in the house . As soon as we enter the house it was with full of dust and it was not cleaned and also there was water pressure problem which they addressed after we reported. Major drawback was the drive way from main road to the house and this was not mentioned in the website. The driveway was so bad that one of our car could not move up and because of bad road .

    The property (house is old). That is not an issue but we had to search to find towels, the front room funiture was very uncomfortable, basic cooking items were not there (simple baking sheet, dishwasher did not work(we turned it on and it ran but there was no water and at the end the dishes were dirty, oven temperature did not hold, it was all over the place. Other than these few inconvienances we had a great time.

    The bar b q was great. That was where it all ended. The beds were very uncomfortable, there were no lamps in the bedrooms so it was blaring lights or total darkness, there were no night stands, the king bed was literally broken and could not be used, the furniture was very old and dingy. The kitchen is quite small and the appliances are from 1980. We could not even fit our trays in it and all the knobs are worn off so you are hoping you turn it on. There was not nearly enough furniture for the number of people there. The place was filthy. We stayed during the highest priced weekend as it was JMU graduation. Now let's talk about the driveway. Not until the final email was sent did we find out that it could be inaccessible in bad weather and that they recommend a 4 wheel drive. We would not have rented this place if we had known that prior to booking. The location was great for JMU events but there is no view and no chairs to sit out on the upper deck. I truly can not say enough to sway you to NOT select this unit.

    9 Scouts and 3 adults had a super stay—thank you so much! Great location. Be aware that the driveway is steep (but still manageable).

    Property Manager, TripForth, was very prompt at addressing questions and issues before and during our stay. Home could use a major maintenance overhaul and repairs. But provided all we needed. The carpet is very stained, as others have reported. I agree the carpet should be cleaned, but I also feel that folks staying in the home should respect the property and try to be more careful and try to clean up spills as they occur - this could help. The sleep sofa could not be used for as a bed, as it has no mattress. Until this is resolved, I don't believe the sleep count should be adjusted. Fortunately, we were not counting on using it, but the others may be.

    We had a great time! There were many activities to do and enjoy and fit for all ages. From the hiking, swimming, playing tennis and pickle, going to the water park and sightseeing, we all had a blast. The house was a perfect size for our 13 people with plenty of space to rest, relax and enjoy each other’s company.

    This was a roomy, comfortable house with plenty of space for a family. Several things of note: although the description describes an inclining driveway, it doesn't say that the driveway is crumbling and has pot holes, making the uphill drive difficult and hard on your car. Inside, the carpet is terribly stained all throughout the house. Although the house appeared clean, I had to pick up dead bugs on the floor.
