Other Things to Note:
CRITICAL HOUSE RULES:
1) AWNING: IF you use the awning on the back deck please retract it before going to bed OR if it rains OR if it gets windy. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! You are responsible for any damage to our Sunsetter awning.
Also: do NOT take the awning remote off the kitchen wall for any reason.

2) GRILL: If you use the grill, you MUST pull it out at least two (2) feet away from the house and decking before use.

3) A/C: DO NOT open any windows with an AC unit in it. It will fall out of the window and break. This should be obvious…but you’d be surprised what some people do..

4) FISH TANK: DO NOT bang, bump, or strike the fish tank. It is made of glass and will break.

5) DRUNKENNESS: Stay out of the hot tub if drunk (for your own safety)

6) KOI POND: DO NOT swim, fall in, or get in the koi pond for any reason.

7) HOT TUB USE:
● IMPORTANT: Be EXTREMELY careful in the hot tub. It is a very expensive, luxury item. Any spills require our staff to drain the water, refill, and replace all chemicals. This is a 3-hour job and you will be assessed a $350.00 fee.
● Please shower before using the hot tub.
● Be careful getting in and out. Do NOT step on the knobs; they will break.
● Put the lid back on the hot tub after each use.
● Take out any/all leaves or pine needles after use.
● Do not let children under 16yo in the tub unattended by an adult.

8) MUSIC: be courteous to my next-door neighbor. LOUD music after 10 pm is highly discouraged. It’s still okay to play at a respectable volume, but please keep in mind they are a family and have a younger child.

9) You are expected to *BRING THE HOUSE TO HOW YOU FOUND IT* when you check in (“the golden rule”)..
Please clean up all messes, clean/wipe down all surfaces, restore items to where they were, and follow the checkout directions carefully and fully (they will be sent to you the day before checkout).


YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR GROUP REVIEW AND OBSERVE THESE HOUSE RULES. ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM NOT FOLLOWING THESE RULES WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRIMARY GUEST WHO MADE THE RESERVATION.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Management company did not provide me with check in details until 1pm on the day we were to check in at 3pm and we had a 2 and half hour drive. Very stressed being given details at the last minute. Even though I reached out to them days before. The residence also had some issues. There are no large garbage receptacles for leaving our trash even though house manual said there were some. Trash and recycling had to be left inside the homes garage, so animals would not get it. The bunkbed room also had a ladder come apart due to loose screws and one of our grandkids were scratched from the screw while trying to get on top bunk.The movie theater room had a very pungent odor coming from the large fish tank. Only after using several plug in air fresheners could we stand to be in that room. The back deck awning was not usable because of a very large wasp nest that is in it. The grill on deck is very rotted and falling apart. When used and food cooks, the grease is just falling on deck from bottom of grill being rotted. Very slippery if someone walks on that spot after grill is moved to its storage spot. I would not recommend this rental due to lack of response from the management company. My husband called them to report all the issues and no one called us back.

No Response / Not as Advertised

I was really disappointed. The place was dirty / not as advertised. When I tried to communicate with the Property Management, I either got no help regarding my question or no response at all.

We booked this home for family visiting for a wedding. The group appreciated the comfortable rooms with nice private rooms, a bunk room, and a lovely large room with a beautiful window overlooking the wooded back yard. The group especially loved using the hot tub and the theater room!! It made their visit feel special and we appreciated the close proximity to our event.

Our bachelor party had a great time. The house was beautifully setup, plenty of space for 15-20 guys. Everything was clean. We didnt end up using the firepit or area around the Koi pond, but the sideyard was great for cornhole. My only gripe is about the Theater Room: the AV Receiver kept cutting out, and any streaming service would not load. Some sort of bad feed from the DirecTV box. I ended up going out and buying a Roku Stick so we could watch Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix. Hooked it up to the receiver. It ended up being a highlight of the trip, so it all worked out.Overall, great experience.

Some good, some bad

Great house but a few drawbacks..2 of the beds advertised as queen size were actually doubles. No spoons at all in the whole kitchen. Live Hornets nest in the closed deck awning. Fish tank that looked like a dirty swamp. A/c in living room controls don’t work. Manager doe not release access info until morning of first rental day.

Liked: Cleanliness
The place was absolutely wonderful, exactly what you would expect from the pictures. We especially enjoying sitting out on the back porch and in the hot tub. With that said, a few things to look out for: - None of the AC window units were installed and many of the windows didnt have screens, so the house was 75F our whole stay - the walking paths were completely flooded and unusable, and while I recognize that is not the owners fault, a heads up would have been nice - we had some issues getting the projector in the theater to work - our biggest frustration was the lack of communication from the owner, we didnt hear anything from them until I reached out a few days before our stay to ask for more information about the house, any rules, check in info, etc. Even at that point they refused to give me any information until the day we arrived, and we finally got that information via a phone call a couple hours before our check in time.
