Estate Property in great location
Booked estate for family (8 guests) holiday vacation for 12days. While the grounds & outdoor amenities were wonderful (tennis court, sprawling lawns & pool), the house itself is tired, in need of updating in key areas & not adequately furnished in the living areas to be comfortable for groups over 5 on extended stay. We give the grounds 5 stars. Natural Retreats 5 stars for ease of communication & the check-in/out process. But house needs improvements in wiring, several of the bathrooms & furnishings. Also note, one of the bedrooms is in a converted garage bay so to access main house you have to go through an adjoining bedroom or go outside & enter house through an exterior door. This is not mentioned in listing.

Beautiful home and location. The facilities have a fair amount of deferred maintenance, but overall a great spot to vacation.

Private Paradise
It seems so much larger than the one acre it's listed at. The property is completely fenced in by masonry walls and natural tree growth, maximum privacy! The location is perfect to enjoy a walk to center of town!
