Graduation Celebration and Family Gathering

The house was great and perfect for all ages. The kids had a ton of fun in the pool and game room while the adults enjoyed the hot tub! We enjoyed cooking on the grill and eating at the poolside bar when the weather was nice. The accommodations were more than enough for the 14 of us.

Wonderful, long weekend!

We had a wonderful stay here over a long weekend. The house was amazing and just what we needed for three families-plenty of beds, living areas, and outdoor space to do things together but also have a little space if one needed it. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the pool and do more things in the surrounding area though we did make it to the castle (so cool!) and the train ride. Communication was also great and speedy. Highly recommend this spot-we are hoping to go back next year for sure!

Our favorite vacation home

We've stayed at this house before and love it! The whole family is entertained in the game room and there's plenty of space to be together, but also be apart, which is so important for family gatherings. House is immaculately kept and stocked with everything you need. The backyard looks amazing but it's been too cold to use!

Annual Family Vacation

This property was very well maintained and had so much for our large family group (9 adults, 5 very young children) to enjoy. The pool area was the nicest we have ever seen in a rented vacation home. Beside the pool is a large bar area, where we ate dinner most nights. We visited a few surrounding locales - Gillette Castle State Park, Devil's Hopyard, and a little farm where we could feed the goats. Fun time had by all. 5 stars!

Amazing Vacation

We are long time vacation renters hosting our children and grandchildren for summer vacations. All agree this is the best house with everything for the adults and four teenagers! There are so many places to enjoy; pool area, game room, porches, kitchen even some lively poker games. We were there during an extreme heat wave and the central air made for very comfortable sleeping. The pictures and overview of this listing reflect why it is so popular the perfect place for friends and family to gather. Thank you Deb and Sean. We are already planning our 2025 return. .
