30th birthday party

this house was amazing!!! so perfect for my gathering of friends for my birthday. Incredible backyard and amenities. Just a few hidden fees so be sure to ask ahead of time about pool heating / pets etc. as I was charged after the fact without knowing those were additional costs. Other than that, we had an incredible time!!! such a beautiful home.

Awesome property for wedding!

We enjoyed staying here couple of days for small intimate wedding! Our families love the location and the view and also the pool! There a lot of steps down to the altar. The room looks like it maximized the beds and fills the master bed room with 4 beds which isn’t ideal for newly wed. There was couple of things broken like toilet but owner is open for feedback and recommendations. Overall, awesome place to be and for small event like ours.

AMAZING

We had a small causal backyard wedding ceremony and reception here. It was so beautiful. Everyone was wildly impressed by the entire property and had an amazing time, from the games and activities that were there, the gorgeous pool and enough space to be comfortable. We would 100% recommend this as a venue for small wedding, family reunion, or just a weekend with the family or friends. We would totally stay here again

Wedding weekend

The outside property is beautiful. Plenty of seating and what a view! Unfortunately the hot tub or “spa” was not working correctly and would not heat and jets were sporadic. The host was kindly responsive to my calls but it was quite a hassle and process to enjoy this much desired feature. The house is very spacious, but it is advertised as a 7 bedroom 4 bath home that can sleep 30 people; there are actually 6 bedrooms and one of them cannot sleep a full size adult. The “7th” bedroom is a large closet with a twin bed in it. There are 2 full bathrooms. One jack and Jill bathroom and a half bath. The house is dated, but that didn’t matter to us. We enjoyed our time here celebrating our daughters wedding at mount Woodson castle.

Beautiful home

One of my favorite home stays. This is a beautiful home that housed 20+ of us comfortably. We loved every part of the house. A lot of fun amenities. The beds were nice. Host was great at communication and friendly. We had an hibachi dinner outside which led to neighborhood noise complaints, but that’s on us and our hired chef for starting a late dinner after quiet hours. It’s important to respect the hours here and stay indoors. Once indoors, there’s no issues. My only gripe was the pool was extremely green and not heated as paid for. The pool servicer came in the next day; said it looked terrible and that we were right not to swim in it. It would take 24 hours to clear out (which is when we would be checked out). It seemed like this was not typical and was probably just a filter issue this unfortunately happened on this weekend.
