Girls Trip

Our group of ladies have been doing wk end “girls” trips for 25 years and this place was perfect for our group. Freshly remodeled. Clean and stocked. So many bedrooms and bathrooms, we all had space. Super large dining table with room for all to eat together. We never tried the hot tub but appreciated it being included. Close to the outlets and casino. We enjoyed some local restaurants too. Thanks for a great stay.

Fantastic home

We did another ladies weekend here, and we plan to go back again next year! House is spacious, clean, has everything we need other than the food, and the hot tub was icing on the cake! It is very echoing in the upstairs, if people are downstairs, so just bring a noise machine if that bothers you. We loved our stay here, and plan to make this a yearly trip!

Extended Family Meet-up

We had a total group of 16 (4 separate families) stay and the dining, bedroom, and bathroom spaces were great! Good balance of adequate shared space and separate areas when we needed a little quieter time (or for the teenagers). Only had to reach the house once and Karen responded quickly. Would definitely recommend and are considering a return in the future.
