Great spot but BYO water and disposable items
Everyone loved this location. The property is fantastic for families and large groups. The water situation is a huge bummer. We used bottled water for everything, including brushing our teeth. The owners are communicative and friendly. The dishes, utensils and cookware are cleaned and maintained by people renting like us, and they were all filthy. Just be prepared to bring multiple jugs of water and I recommend disposable plates, utensils etc. Its a shame bc the place is basically otherwise perfect. I still do recommend and would go back, prepared with this knowledge.

Awesome for family reunion!
The host is amazing and was fast and very attentive to anything we needed. We had trouble with some outdoor lights and there was someone there to fix them in 10 minutes. My family cooks a LOT...and the kitchen and dining areas were great for our family reunion. The pool slide is fast and very fun! Great times had by all. Would stay here again. Thanks to the host and staff for making this a great experience for our family!

House/pool were amazing
The house was spotless. The kitchen was large and well stocked. The pool/spa/slide/grotto and entire backyard were amazing, entire group loved it. The large front room was great for gathering a big group. The location was secluded which is exactly what we wanted. We would absolutely stay there again. The only negative (which is notated on the listing) is that the 6th bedroom is really just a shared room with the Master bedroom, but we made it work and it was a great time. Check in and communication with the host was very easy.

Love this property!!
This was the second year we stayed at the house for our annual girls weekend away. Everything was so easy from completing the paperwork, checking in and communication with the host was excellent. Simple text to turn on the hot tub and the water slide and any other questions was seamless. Our group loves the spaciousness of the house and backyard. The pool was perfect temperature and it made lounging around all day catching up with our friends so fun & relaxing for our long weekend. Everything in the listing was there at the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked the house for next year!!!

This is the second time we stayed at this property and it was as amazing just like the first time. The pool, grotto, slide and hot tub were enjoyed by all. We spent many of our days there just sitting by the pool and enjoying the peacefulness of the property. My family and I cant wait to go back again next year.

Disappointed
The property was beautiful especially the back yard pool, slide and hot tub. That is the reason we booked this house. Is to hang out in the pool and let our grandkids enjoy. However the hot tubs could only be turn on for 3 hours without having to pay extra. It was absolutely ridiculous. I had to text when I wanted it on. So so disappointing to have to plan when we wanted to play. I have never been to a vrbo that I was so upset at. We had a wedding to go to that lasted until 9:30 pm. We wanted to come back to the house and enjoy the hot tubs, but we couldn't because they had already been turned on for the day. The water on the slide could only be on for an hour. My grandkids were very very upset. We had talked about our get away and that pool and waterslide for months. Imagine how upset they were! I don't know why the owners cant have a switch for the waterslide and hot tub and put them on a timer so they will go off if people forget or if people want to play then they can. We were all just very very upset. Not a great get away!!

Great Golf Getaway
The property was beautiful. Everything yoiu would need was provided. It was off the beaten path so very quiet and woodsy. Our group of 9 were high school buddies (50 years ago) having our yearly golf trip. Several golf courses within 15 min and after a round of golf in the warm weather, the pool was a life safer. Everyone staying there said the accomodations were beyond their expectations.

Awful Service and Inaccurate Listing, but Nice Property
- Our landlord was VERY inconsiderate, making us wait at the gate in the rain for 20-30 minutes, despite knowing we were there. I had initially submitted a waiver for 12 people but needed to update it for 8 after some people had to drop out. She demanded a resubmission with the exact count before letting us in. In a rush, I altered the document in the car, only for her to then insist on a handwritten signature instead of a digital one. Scrambling to find a pen and redo the document added to the frustration. - She was ridiculously stingy about the hot tub usage. Both days, we were shorted on time. The first day, she claimed it was heated, but it was cold after an hour. Only after another complaint did she start it again, yet counted the unusable time against us, leaving us just 2 hours of heat. The next day, cold water started shooting into the tub after 2 hours, and by the time she fixed it, we had moved on. - The property listing falsely advertised a heated pool, which was, in fact, unheated. - The front door lock was broken, and her property manager couldn't fix it, forcing us to use the back entrance. - Also, one of the "bedrooms" is actually a bed inside a walk in closet. Very creepy/weird setup

Stayed over for one night with friends and family. All our guests loved the large space to connect. The little ones loved the space to run around as well. There was a basketball hoop, bowling ball + pins, and tetherball for the kids to enjoy. The large living room was perfect for everyone to come together after the day was over!

Great property, too many restrictions to enjoy it
As for the property itself, there’s nothing to really complain about. It’s fantastic. However, the rules which limit use of the hot tubs to only one hot tub in a three hour block (of your choosing) per day meant it couldn’t be enjoyed at numerous times we would have liked. Additionally, requiring us to pay for my parents as registered guests just so they could stop by for an hour was draconian and over the top. So like the review is titled, it’s an amazing property that unfortunately can’t be fully enjoyed due to the rules. If you don’t plan on anyone stopping by, or you are ok with limiting your use of the hot tub to one hot tub for a 3 hour block per day, then you’ll probably be happy staying here.

Beautiful Property
We were a group of 11 senior women and we had an amazing time. The house and surroundings are relaxing and peaceful. I will note for the senior age persons there are no ADA modifications in restrooms and the pool however there is a way to enter the home with no stairs. Its hard to tell in the photos but there are 2 bedrooms and full hall bath on one side of the house, master with bath and 1 bedroom with hall 1/2 bath on the other and 1 bedroom at the entry. Perfect for large groups. Laralyn was a wonderful host she always responded to me within 15 minutes and resolved any issues (which were minor) quickly. Being a first time vacation rental person she patiently answered all my questions. I recommend this vacation home. Oh and they provide alot of amenities which is extremely appreciated.

We loved our stay, but...
We stayed four nights for a three-generation family vacation in July. It would be spacious for a group of 10-12, or cozy but possible for up to 16. Four rooms have queen/king beds. Kids can also sleep on a double bed in the master closet, 3 twins and a double in the bunk room, or the sectional sofas and a pullout twin in the living room. The property is secluded and very quiet. There is a two-story building at the front of the property that houses a "caretaker". That upstairs window can look into the front yard of this home. This looked intrusive at first. However, once we entered the house we never used the front yard at all, so it didn't matter. There is one drawback that we considered serious: All communication is done via text with the owner, who either turns on equipment remotely, or contacts the caretaker. This communication was extremely cumbersome because the owner was three time zones away and often had no cell service. We waited an hour to check in and lost 3+ hours of waterslide or hot tub use over our stay because the owner wasn't responding. If this system is revised, we'd gladly give the property 5 stars, but as is, our rating is 4 stars.

Family Auburn Get-a-Way
Excellent choice for a gathering of brothers & sisters ranging in ages from 73 to 82. Our big family of eight brothers & sisters have been holding annual get-togethers for the past 10+ years. This June 2023 experience was an excellent experience -- quiet, secluded and a single level floor plan which made it convenient for the older family members who have difficulty climbing stairs. The pool & hot tubs are added bonuses. A wise choice for our group. The description of a gated community may be a misnomer, but don't let it cloud your selection.
