About Your Host- I love to make people happy and that exactly what my properties are designed for. I'm a landlord by trade. I have apartment complexes and rental homes. Then six years ago I created my first vacation rental property, and it grew from there. I offer vacation rentals because it's fun! Making sure groups are set up to have a blast is a challenge that I find very rewarding. I take this seriously. Being a big kid at heart, I make it my mission to deliver the fun for kids- also being one who appreciates nice things, I deliver comfort and attention to detail for the adults. I truly desire for you to have the most fun and relaxation as possible, and with the fewest hassles as well. That is why we put in so much effort before you get there. We provide and offer many things that set us apart. Things like super comfy beds, awesome fluffy towels, mints, coffee, toothpaste and toothbrushes, luxurious body care products, personal care products, make-up removing towelettes, and others as well. I hope to get to take care of you and your crew soon! May you have and awesome trip wherever you stay...and may God bless you. Sincerely ~Steven

This property was perfect for our family christmas- plenty of things on the property for everyone to do, and close proximity to so many options for all ages
I had a group of 16 college students planning for a student organization and they loved this place! It was in a great location close to lots of options to eat, coffee shops, etc. also lots of space to have large groups together in the basement.
Checked in to this beautiful home was immaculate, plenty of room for everyone to sleep, many different bedrooms for privacy, lots of games to plat easy to find and grounds well kept, will stay there again for sure.
We used this property for our church’s junior high trip and it was perfect! Plenty of sleeping room - and the kids LOVED the basement games! Communication was a breeze, and we even took advantage of the apartment pool mentioned in the listing. Great location, close to the interstate so a quick drive anywhere around the area! Thank you for a great stay!
This was a spacious and clean property, which was very well stocked with everything you would need for a wonderful stay. Steven is an attentive host whom was willing to help and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We are planning to make this an annual stay!
We had an absolutely great time! We used the property for a family Christmas gathering. The reason we chose this house was because of the games in the basement and they did not disappoint. The kids had a great time with them during the day and the adults enjoyed them after the kids went to bed. I would highly recommend this property!
We loved how roomy the place was! Had enough beds and bathrooms for 5-6 ladies. The upstairs and downstairs living areas were perfect for our reunion. It was well stocked with toiletries, kitchen items, towels and washcloths, which was greatly appreciated. We had trouble with the hot tub but our host did his best to rectify our problem and responded back promptly to any questions or concerns.
The basement was awesome. The boys loved that space! The hot tub was also enjoyed. The kitchen had everything we needed.
Our one and only issue was with the inaccuracy of the number of people the home was supposed to sleep. Because of this discrepancy we had to sleep on the floors and couches without blankets and pillows. I had tried contacting Steven via phone and text upon our late arrival, but was unsuccessful.
Steven tried to make this right the following morning when I brought it to his attention with a late check out and a second night, but unfortunately we were unable to extend our stay.
We would stay here again, but with fewer people.
Steve is one of the best hosts we have ever had. He is extremely friendly and readily available. He is quick to respond to any questions. He allowed us to check in a bit early as the house was ready early. That really helped the young families with their travel and naps for kids. The house was amazing. It was clean and very well appointed.
We were a party of 14 and there was plenty of linens, beds, dishes and cookware. Nothing was overlooked. We did not have to bring ANYTHING. There were sealed toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, makeup remover, etc. Just like a hotel! The house has so much space as well as things to do in the basement. The hot tub was clean and in good working order. The deck was nicely furnished and allowed us some nice time outside after the kids went to bed. The house is set back from the road and we did not have street noise. We had a lovely time. We would highly recommend this property without any reservations whatsoever.
