  Great spot for a getaway. We loved the house, the yard, and the E pool.

• Would be a 5 but have to be honest about the community PCP.

  4/5

  This feedback is in no way towards the owners. The place itself was nice both indoors and out back. The major issues came with the ammenities. First it's a $12 per day per person fee for the pool. Although this included the kayak and paddle boat, you were not able to even get into the water due to high levels of Ecoli. Making the beach area unusable. The life gaurds at the pool literally had the whistles in their mouth the entire time and blowing the whitsle at every little thing. Wouldn't allow any pool toys for the kids. No jumping in the water, no splashing. On one of our days we got to the pool when it opened which isn't until 11:30 am which to me is pretty late. We were there for 1.5 hrs, when they made an annoucement that the pool was closing for an hour due to possible weather. Then after 5 mins they closed off the entire area for the day. No refunds and no cash only credit cards allowed and then you get charged the CC fee. Biggest headache was the line at the welcome center so you can get a pass to be used to come in and out of the community. This is great in theory, but when it takes over 3 minutes for each car to go through the gates due to someone needing to look in the camera and press the button it was the most annoying thing ever.

  Unfortunatley, we will not be returning to the community for any future rentals.

• Very cute and cozy home.

  5/5

  The house is in a very safe gated community. We not only enjoyed the house but loved the fire pit in the backyard.

  There are a lot of deer which just forces you to be careful when driving in and out of the community.

  I only wish the community pool had umbrellas and music which would add to the

  Ambience of hanging out at the pool.

  Our host was very responsive too.

  Tobyanna is a great area and close to all the major attractions. I will definitely be back!

  4/5

  We mostly enjoyed our time at this community. We were 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 infants. The house size was the perfect size for us. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to enjoy the yard as the grass was at knee height. We have kids and a blow up pool that we were unable to use as the grass was so high. Additionally, the home floors were not clean, our feet were black and our kids that crawl had black on their knees, hands and feet. Finally, we attempted early check in and had a question about the pool but after 3 emails received no response or communication from Yoojin, still to this day. She did respond after we sent our paperwork originally so I’m not sure why she stopped answering after that. The neighbors had 2 dogs that were outside yapping the entire evening as well. It sounded like a kennel and we are dog people. Definitely not the owners fault but it did effect our evening while grilling and sitting in the screen house.

  5/5

  We had a great time staying at the house. It was the perfect space to get together with friends. We ended up using the fire place, due to how cold it was for this time of year. We didn’t know that you needed to check in to get a pass to access the community, that went smoothly, but would be helpful to know beforehand. Overall we really enjoyed everything and would come again.
