About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Not a Resort. Not a Rental. Something Better…

You’ve been meaning to slow down. Reconnect. Get the family in the same place — without the screens, the schedules, the stress.

But somehow every trip ends up being more work than rest.

The rental looks great in photos… until it’s not.
The kids are bored. The adults are overwhelmed. You spend more time navigating logistics than making memories.

That’s why we built Jerob’s Place.
Five acres of private joy — recently renovated and upgraded with families in mind:
– A swim spa and pool just for your crew
– A movie room with Love Sacs and surround sound
– A scavenger hunt that leads to a real hidden room
– King’s Fortress playground with soft AstroTurf for wild, barefoot fun
– A zero-gravity massage chair when it’s your turn to recharge

At night, circle up at the custom-lit firepit.
Tell ghost stories. Share old memories.
Or just let the kids load up s’mores while the stars come out.
Every detail — from the sidewalks to the toy closets to the Curious George room — was reimagined to create ease, delight, and connection.
Yes, even your pets are welcome.

Spots fill fast, especially for reunions and holidays.
Reserve your stay now — and give your people a trip they’ll talk about for years.

Jerob's Place hosted by Comfy Spots Vacation Rentals.
Pets are allowed to come with you on your get-away. The pet fee is $100 per pet.

We loved our stay at this home! We were traveling with a large group for a joint birthday celebration and this home was large enough for all of us! We loved that there were two living areas, one where the younger people could play video games and watch movies, and a larger living space for everyone else to have quiet. The pool, firepit, and playground are AMAZING! My daughter (4) had a blast exploring the property and playing on the playground. The kitchen was well equipped with quality pans and appliances. They also had the most well stocked coffee and tea area I've ever seen in a rental property! Everything about this home is inviting.There was an issue during our stay that was completely outside of the owners control. They were quick to respond and did everything they could to solve the issue. The owner really went out of their way to ensure we had the best vacation possible. I would definitely recommend this property for any large gathering!

Wonderful Inside and Out

We had a group of 16 co workers and we all had a comfortable space without feeling like we were on top of each other. Lisa was easy to contact and quick to reply. There were even 2-3 "extra" fun things that helped make staying at the house a fun experience. We didn't have any kids, but it would be so fun for families!!
