Sammeln Sie Ihre Familie in diesem Landgut

Thank you so much for the lovely review! This is my husband’s & brother’s home that I updated furnishings with a mind of what the boys and their mother would have wanted. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. That is what matters for all of us.

Thank you for the nice review! We have been working on updating the property. Next time you visit we should have new appliances! Thank once again for leaving the property in excellent condition!

I'm glad you enjoyed our family home. We've just reinstalled a shower door in the upstairs bathroom. It adds more light to the tub area and keeps water off the floors. The toilets are the old American Standard one piece units before water conservation toilets hit. Once again thank you for staying with us.

Thank you for the nice review. Paul services the bathroom locks every few years. I guess it is time to do it again!

Thank you so much! That is exactly what we want this place to be for families.

Great that is was a memorable stay!

Paul and I were blindsided by this mean-spirited review. Our check in time is 4:00, and the guests arrived at 2:50 complaining they wern't feeling well and had to take their medications and lie down. Under the circumstances, we allowed them early check-in, explaining that we still had tasks to complete if that didn’t bother them, and they cheerfully agreed. We were removing AC units from the windows at their specific request, assembled a new fire pit that they also specifically requested, we sat with her and showed her how to navigate to her favorite TV channels and told them both (as we do with every guest), “If you have any special needs or discover any oversights, we live 5 minutes away and will make it our priority,” as we left (on schedule, 5 minutes before 4pm check-in). That week, we received 4 inches of rain in one hour from a hurricane and reached out, they assured us everything was fine. On checkout they left a threatenting note that they "cleaned," didn't want to pay the cleaning fee, and would otherwise leave a bad review, so we can only leave it up to the reader's imagination why this review is the only negative review we have ever received.

We are delighted you had a wonderful stay and were able to reconnect with your sisters! It is a family property and we always feel great about families enjoying it together. That's just as it should be! Like all properties, there's always ongoing maintenance and improvements, and we are proactive about that but also rely on our guests' constructive input to guide us where we need to put in more effort. The "smart" thermostats were just installed, and only one zone (the entry porch) is restricted, but all the other zones are user-controllable. Since your stay, we have replaced all 16 doorknobs and strike plates, and the traverse rods are on the to-do list. Apologies about the piano, which is easily overlooked by us non-musical types, but we will tune it up for guests who know better!

Thank you for the nice review.

We've hosted several film students since you were with us!

As the saying goes - “No good deed goes unpunished!” Giving us 3 stars? Shannan McDowell and husband/boyfriend booked the property for a week. They had no reviews. They asked if the house was ready the night before checking in and I offered them the opportunity to drive through from Pennsylvania to the House. Otherwise they told me they we going to sleep in a Walmart parking lot! “Oh gosh” I said “Don’t do that just come tonight because the house is ready for you! “ 1) They did not tell me they were pulling a 20+ foot trailer which they were living in! They also felt it was O.K. to plug into the house utilities to run the trailer. 2) They paid a pet fee for 1 dog not 2. 3) Check out time is 11:00. I arived 11:30 and was greeted by an angry pity bull that the owner retrieved with the second one coming over to check me out. I stayed in my car. 4) I didn’t question the trailer, the umbilical cord to the electricity, the extra dog, but the 2 other beds that were used for guests that they didn’t pay or disclose were coming? That upset me! I was a bit curt. “Oh we just had some cousins come!” Shannon said. 5) They did not tell me they melted the stove element. It wasn’t discover till right before the second group of guests showed up Nov. 6th. I asked our appliance technician about this: “Stove elements go bad when they are turned on high and left without a pot to conduct the heat.” That is $58 that I will not see since the deposit has been returned. They notified me in a review! 6) They reprogrammed the thermostat to be 78 with it turning 85 degrees at 10:00 p.m. The week before their arrival I put 475 gallons in for $1350. That galled me! 7) As for their complaint about the upstairs shower. The knob needs to be pulled all the way out and adjusted or the diverter will revert to the tub spout. You need water pressure to run a shower. These guests were young and frugal but not honest with booking the property. They should of told us of the trailer and hook-up, They should of paid us for the extra guests They should of paid us for the extra dog They should of paid us for the stove element instead of bringing the issue up in a review 2 weeks after the fact.

Glad you enjoyed the house and had fun there!

We are so glad we could share our family home with your family!

I’m thrilled the property worked for the surprise party/get together. Our goal is to provide an upscale, comfortable setting for families to meet. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us.

Thank you for the nice review

Thank you for the kind review. I'm glad it felt like home and it was relaxing to be there!

Thank you for your four-star review. We strive to provide a five-star experience and wish you had given us a chance to exceed your expectations by reaching out to us with any concerns you had during your stay, rather than detracting a star. To address your concerns individually, the toaster oven has 3 knobs, a function, a timer and a temperature. It is fully functional, but we observed the temperature was set to “0,” and unplugged. We addressed this with some further explanation in our home manual so guests will not repeat the experience. The shower diverter is also fully functional, although (like any diverter) it may not “divert” if the water flow is very low, so we will also recommend in our home manual that guests turn the water volume up to assure they do not repeat your experience. Last, the shower enclosure has a towel bar, which is not load-bearing to the extent of a handicap grab bar. It appears a guest exerted a great deal of force on the towel bar causing the shower door to physically separate at the corners and distort. This did indeed cause the shower enclosure to bind, and was able to be repaired to it’s original condition by realigning the frame. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your constructive input, although we wish you had reached out to us during your stay instead.

Thank you for such a nice review! Come back with more friends for the “Taj Garage” I’ve been working to make this area a added gathering place!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. We have since upgrade the kitchen stove cooktop, refrigerator, and ovens along with adding many small appliances such as a waffle maker, electric mixer, hot water pot, crockpot and an air fryer . The internet has also be upgraded to facilitate guests working remotely. There is also a new TV and couch in the library area.
