    “A great spot for our gathering. The theater is impressive, and the main kitchen/hall is super nice, and worked great for our dinner. Don’t sleep on the slide, it’s fast. We didn’t have too much time outdoors, so can’t comment on these amenities. We couldn’t get the golf simulator working btw, but pool worked great.”

    “Great house for a large group of people. We booked this in early March and needed a place that had a lot of indoor activities and this place did not disappoint. Would recommend and even more so in months with warmer weather as the outside area had even more activities to do. The host was very responsive to all of our questions.”
