The listing said it would sleep 16, but we had trouble sleeping 6 comfortably. We had some ladies drop from our trip last minute which was good or we would have had to get hotel rooms.

This was our 2nd time staying at this property while spending a couple days at Kentucky Kingdom. Very clean, responsive owners, lots of space, and the young adults and kids loved the pool table and basketball goal. It is one large open space with a small bathroom (shower is very small) but perfect for spending time together and a very affordable place to stay when you have a large family. We will be back next year!

If you're looking for a good enough, very inexpensive place for a lot of people to crash, this house is perfect. It's basically a giant room with 3 queen sized beds, 2 smaller couches, and a lot of space to put up air mattresses. It's got a bathroom with a decent shower, a kitchenette with a full-sized fridge and sink, and plenty of space. The place has some quirks and is a little rough around the edges, but it's got everything you need for a short stay. Is it the nicest or most luxurious place? No. Is it one of the best bargains you'll find on VRBO? Yes!

Convenient location and dog friendly. Nice host who was very responsive. Some basic items are there. Bring forks, charcoal, grill brush and paper towels. Might ask if grill still works. The listing advertises games which is why we rented it for our teens but the games were not there or broken. The shower is tiny and not for average or large people. Shower curtain isn’t secure, constantly falling. Covered parking a plus.

Our family of 8 stayed here as a half-way point on summer vacation. The property was exactly as described- clean, pleasant and easy to access. We ordered pizza, watched a movie, the kids played pool and bags and shot the basketball a couple of times, then we crashed. It is not at all fancy- the couches have slipcovers and one is missing the back cushions, the beds do not have headboards, there was one sharp knife and no oven. But for our purposes, it was *perfect!* It was far cheaper than the two hotel rooms we would have had to book and very comfortable. Also, we had a vehicle crisis and Kati was so accommodating. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Kati.

The big nice open space was awesome! We needed a place to have a cookout for my mom's birthday/4th of July and this building was very spacious for us. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with. I WANTED to give this place more stars but there were things that need to be updated on the listing.
There is no basketball hot shot game inside.
There is no foozeball table inside.
The small billiards table was so off balance the balls roll before you can even shoot so it was basically unplayable.
The Cornhole boards kept falling after you hit it with bean bags.
The hot plates on the kitchen do not work
We couldn't get any of them to turn on.
I like getting what I thought I was paying for so very disappointed for the kids to not have anything to really play with like we thought.

We stayed for our son's wedding. Neighborhood was quiet. The property was clean and well lit. Bathroom had everything we needed. I do want to point out that if you're a large, or very tall person, the shower is but awkward, but it suited our needs.
Having no weight/breed restriction listed, with approval we were able to bring our two big dogs (a Newfoundland, 95#, and a Boxer-mix, 90#), and at a competitive fee.
Communication was great and and host was very accomodating, allowing us to have some family members we hadn't seen in a while hang out a couple of evenings.
There was plenty of seating and the beds had fresh linens. We had our three teens with us. Two slept in the two smaller beds, and one wanted to sleep in the couch. With a pool table and corn hole, our teens were able to entertain themselves on our downtime.
The only thing we were disappointed with was that the two things the kids and we were excited about -- the double-shot basketball hoops game and the foosball table -- were not there, as listed in the description and pictures. I would suggest to the host to update your listing and pictures as soon as possible, or return the games to the room.
Overall great stay in this huge room!

Great place with lots of room for everyone. It was a little tough to find lol. We are here twice a year and will be back, for sure! One thing we missed was a stove/stove top for cooking. Really enjoyed the place and the kids (6) had a blast. Low key and comfortable

My husband and I stayed here four days with our eight children and one friend. The home was comfortable and well equipped for our stay. The beds and couches were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for our additional air mattress. No other place could we stay with 11 people for this amazingly low price! The kids loved the indoor and outdoor basketball, and we also enjoyed slow mornings on the porch and hammock, and evenings around the fire pit. The shower is tiny but the water is stayed hot. There is no oven, dishwasher, or washing machine, which we survived without, but it’s good to know so you can plan.
We didn’t see the owners even though their home is on the same property. They gave us privacy, but were available when I messaged with a question.
Overall, I’d recommend this guest house for a low cost, family friendly place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The beds were comfortable and there was plenty to do for our 5 boys. they really enjoyed the pool table, arcade basketball and the corn hole games. Also they liked playing basketball outside. The owners answered any questions And concerns we had very quickly. We enjoyed the fire pit at night the kids roasted marshmallows. The garage is in the backyard of a house but the occupants were very quiet and we only seen them a couple times but were friendly and didn’t bother us in the least. The house is Also located on the side of an apartment complex but there is a privacy fence located on that side. Everything was adequate and it was a nice pit stop on the way to gaitlinburg tennesse. Thanks so much for everything!
