The place worked out great for our big group of 9 people and a dog. Lots of space, a giant table where we could all eat together and play games. we had people flying in from all over and we requested an early check-in so people could go to the house directly from the airport. Mike was very gracious and let the first arrives get in a couple of hours early... very nice. The kitchen sink clogged while we were there and Mike came over right away and fixed it - super responsive. I would recommendthis place for large family gatherings.
