We rented this house while in town for our daughter’s wedding. We had as many as 12 people staying there during the week and never felt crowded. The location is fantastic- the open concept of living room, dining, kitchen and pool table area is great for entertaining. We easily hosted the rehearsal dinner here.

We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub, large screen TV and Bose wave Bluetooth sound system. The kitchen provided all the necessary equipment (food processor, blender, toaster, coffee maker), plenty of plates, glasses, utensils, and the second fridge came in handy for stocking water, beer and wine. Separate ice maker got a lot of use as well.

Perhaps the best part of the rental was dealing with Sarah Stewart- she is on top of things, quick with replies to questions, concerns, etc. We were made to feel comfortable going in and at ease during our stay. Not all property managers as efficient and available, and I speak from experience. This can be key during a rental- knowing that any significant problems will be addressed.

Considering the cost for this rental it bears noting some of the deficiencies- despite replies from the owners to previous complaints, the decks are still very weathered and prone to splinters (2 of us got them)- to be fair, the house has a LOT of deck space and some of it has been replaced recently; kitchen cabinets are old and a couple doors are off a hinge, plus one in living room; many of the sliders and casement windows are rusted and very difficult to open or are inoperable; the outdoor grill is very rusted (I’ve seen better at the curb); and there were mouse droppings in many of the kitchen cabinets and drawers.

None of this spoiled our time there, but I’m sure it would for people more discerning than we are. We had a summer home in the woods near a lake and are accustomed to dealing with critters. We paid for the location and size of the house and were not disappointed with either.
