Family get together

Large property with plenty of space for our group of 20. Lots of bedrooms and outdoor space. Easy check in. Had an issue upon arrival but it was resolved very quickly. Rented both sections of house just wish there was an internal staircase connected them. So close to Natural Bridge and other grst hiking locations.

Perfect place for us & friends!

There were 16 of us and each couple got their own room! Definitely not a good place for people with mobility issues, but we all welcomed the extra exercise from all of the stairs! Our friends could not get over how perfect this place was. There were plenty of bathrooms and plenty of places to sit and play cards and have fun! The location could not have been more perfect. we are glad we all had SUVs because the rain made the driveways a little muddy. Everyone really enjoyed their stay. It was so close to the reptile zoo and the kayaking and we love the little goats next door.. our bed was very comfortable. The host was very responsive and answered all of our questions.

Nice place

This is our 2 year in this house, it’s a good place to spend Christmas with the family is has alot of space. They only need to fix the locks on the restroom because if you have a big family or go with friends they going to open the door when you’re doing your business because they don’t work. But we really enjoy staying there. (There are wolves around we can heard them at night)

40th birthday surprise

Kitchen furnishings need to accommodate the number of sleepers. We had 22 people and barely adequate for our large group, even with renting the upper unit. A few burned out light bulbs, jiggly handles, loose steps, ants in the kitchen and bedrooms, no lock on the main bathroom door, upstairs cable didn't work, and stairway railing broke. But, very fun location, the layout of the house was neat, the beds were comfy and the hot tub and sauna were a big hit. We had a great time with lots of laughs. Thanks for opening up your house to us. Would stay again!!!

Long weekend with family

We booked the Big House to accommodate our large group. The house was clean, safe and had great views. Can’t get any closer to the hiking and climbing in the area! The large kitchens made for great family dinners each night. And the hot tub and sauna rounded out the fun. Note there are a number of stairs to navigate outside and in. We visited during the devastating Helene Hurricane and lost WiFi and TV. No issues with gas, electricity and had plenty of hot water. The hosts were available as we managed the storm. Will definitely return and recommend!

A fun place

Third floor is private. Two rooms where the grandparents stayed. Has a bathroom and kitchen and lovely views. First and second floors are fun and quirky. Center winding staircase around a rock wall. Plenty of bathrooms. Nice and plentiful linens. Kitchen held all 18 of us for meals. To get from third floor is an outside staircase. Nice sauna and hot tub. Enough parking for four vehicles.

Family Reunion

We rented both the top & bottom cabins for our large family of 23. - Cabin design is quirky but makes it very cool - NOT handicap friendly even the bathroom has stairs - Water stopped working in both cabins however the property manager sent someone over to fix ASAP - 2 bedrooms do not have vents & guests were hot at nt - Location made up for all the issues - Place could use a good cleaning especially the window sills. There were thick layers of dust and dead bugs. - Supposed to have 3 full bathrooms but top floor shower does not work at all

Perfect location and very spacious

The Big House had enough sleeping and gathering space for our group of 24 adults. Had everything we needed to cook our meals. Susan was very responsive when we were having gateway/internet/ tv issues. Great location. Towels, dish soap, hand soap, toilet paper all provided. Brought our own paper towels, napkins, dishwasher detergent etc. Some seasonings are there. Close to Natural Bridge, kayaking and climbing. Please be aware the directions to get to house are a little out of date. The entrance to road going back to house is through Miguel's climbing store parking lot. Next door to Miguel's pizza. Once in parking lot go to far end and turn left on road. From there follow signs and directions. Cannot turn in on drive with the tree in the island it is blocked off with chain. Was a great rental experience and would recommend.
