I was a bit concerned about my choice of housing after reading reviews of this property. There was no reason for concern. Everything about the house was wonderful! The house, itself, is simply gorgeous, the design and materials are all top notch. Although the home is expansive, it still had a cozy feeling, due to lovely, comfortable furnishings and the rusticity of the natural wood and tasteful muted colors. We were a group of senior women enjoying an annual college get-together. We’ve rented and stayed in many wonderful homes over the years, and this home went straight into our list of “favorites”. The fabulous hot tub was hot and clean and ready for us, and we spent many happy hours around the fire pit, celebrating our good fortune in finding such a lovely site. [Shhhh. There’s a secret room with the double bed that you’ll never find, until you give that book case on the staircase a gentle push. Seriously! So much fun. Don’t tell!] The kitchen is an absolute dream and includes every cooking tool, dishware, flatware, etc. On top of that, the home is generously, well furnished with extra towels, pool towels, games, movies, spaces for gathering and spaces for escaping. The home was impeccable. There WILL be pine needles! I can’t imagine how they could keep the property clear of them, as they fall like….. well…..pine needles.
Lots of good walking area.
We enjoy staying in a different special place from year to year, but many in the group suggested that we return next year.
