Family trip 2-19

We loved staying in this property. Discovery of the amazing decor and notes were fun. The Pool and spa were wonderful. We had guests for a BBQ and dip in the pool and this property had all the amenities in the kitchen needed to host a family get together. Dog park was close by and walking paths were well light in the evenings. People are very friendly in the community. Thanks for everything.

Not as advertised!

The property is old rundown and dirty. It smelled of mildew. The sauna was full of pool equipment. The pictures were very misleading. The only reason we slept there one night was because we arrived so late. The owner did not seem surprised by my disappointment and did refund us. The first 24 hrs of my vacation was ruined.

Not satisfied

Arrived to find a service man repairing the refrigerator, 1 hour later the refrigerator still wasn’t cooling, contacted the host who told us we could get ice at Walmart. Service man returned and told us the compressor wasn’t working and he would try to return tomorrow. Contacted the host who offered to plug in the refrigerator in the garage for us. We told him that was unacceptable and we would make other arrangements. The host was too cute in his attempt to BS us, and he finally told us to contact VRBO and start the paperwork and he would confirm.

Paradise at Paradise Lakes

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The beauty and uniqueness cannot be matched, and truly does remind one of being in a castle. The amenities were top notch and I would recommend a stay. Gary was very responsive to questions and an issue with the air conditioning and had a repair tech out the next morning. We were traveling for a family wedding and enjoyed the respite this property offered.

A great way to escape the real world.

We had a wonderful experience in this castle for our 20th wedding anniversary. Every single section of this home is well thought out with beautiful authentic decor fit for royalty. We had so much fun taking pictures in all the rooms pretending we were rich and famous. :)

Amazing property!

Everything about our visit was amazing and we will definitely come back. The property was better than advertised and the owner Gary was great and communicated with us before arriving and also if we had any questions. Indoor pool and hot tub were what originally drew us to the property but the entire house was amazing inside.
