Kate’s property was wonderful. The pool was a hit with all 7 of us. There was plenty of room to enjoy all of our activities indoors too. So glad we were able to come stay at this delightful place. Hope to return again soon!

Great Family Trip!

We had a great time at the house! We had 3 of our 5 grown kids and 4 of our 6 grandkids with us (15 years to 17 months). Everyone loved the pool and the space we had to be together or be apart if we wanted was great! The house was clean and had everything we needed during our stay! Not too far from shops or restaurants too! Our oldest grandson is already trying to plan our trip back!!

Large Home Perfect For Family Time

Our family of 6 adults and 5 children had a wonderful weekend at Kate's Weekend Retreat. This home is huge and was a wonderful home away from home. We enjoyed time away from the city and enjoyed the wonderful country views. The pool and outdoor spaces allowed for our family to relax, play, and just enjoy each other. The huge kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. A great VRBO experience! Thanks Katy

Relaxing Stay

The house was huge and spacious, and we loved the pool! During our stay we only used 4 of the bedrooms. There are only 2.5 baths for such a large house, I’m not sure how parties larger than 7 can manage to share so few bathrooms? During our stay we had a major fly problem! This was very off putting, especially around meal times. Overall the visit was pleasant but not worth the price per night for the worn down condition and outdated appliances/amenities.

So Much FUN!

This is in the heart of Amish Country. The house is extra Large and decorated beautifully. The cleanliness was impeccable. Everyone had a room and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is large and there are several seating rooms and an outdoor screened in porch There was a Ninja coffee maker and the kitchen was well stocked with tableware.. The owner was so great and easy to talk with she was truly concerned about potential problems ( none ). It was hot so the pool was cleaned daily and the kids were in it most of the day. The kids reined in age from 15yrs.to 10 months and they had a blast falling asleep exhausted. According to the reception book many repeat familys and groups IMO that is a sign of a good host and facility.

Spacious but lacking

The house is spacious with a nice selection of beds. Fantastic to have a large dining table that 8 people can have meals together and a 4 seat table adjacent to the dining table for additional people. Great yard, pool and outdoor seating. If you are bringing children be aware that the pools DOES NOT have a lock on the gate, play set has some rot, indoor house stairs cannot be gated for infants and toddlers, the wash and dryer are COIN operated and the interior carpets are filthy. Amenities should be expanded on the listing, for example the coffee maker is drip style and coin operated laundry. We learned the day before that the dishwasher was not functional. After we arrived we noticed that the dishwasher had dirty standing water in it that began to smell. Owner solution was to put pool shock chemicals in the dishwasher! Overall the home need TLC.

Disappointed in response

We've had our family vacations here for several years and we always have a good time together. The house air conditioner has always been insufficient for the size of the house, but this year it broke down completely and we spent 2 days and nights without air; windows have no screens so we battled flies, and with horses and cows as neighbors, it was a fly fest. When we finally realized it was not just insufficient but no air I emailed the owner (no cell phone service) but ultimately had to go to the owner's house to report the problem. We were made to feel like either liars or idiots as owners continued to tell us it was working before and we were not doing something right. Finally convinced there was no air coming out of the vents, they called a repairman who fixed a broken belt. I realize problems happen and it wasn't the problem but the owners' attitude that I didn't appreciate. Oh, and no apology, the owner just wanted us to close up the windows before the repairman had the air back on. And, what does the VRBO service fee do for us? Nothing, obviously...when I tried to contact VRBO, there was just a message to contact the owner.
