The reviews made this "mansion" sound incredible and perfect for a reunion. "Movie stars celebrities use it " Even a Ritz Carlton comparison which I love. ... Thought it would be perfect for us but no. Our family was disappointed to be honest when we checked in. House is tired, clearly a rental machine! House wasn't cleaned very well at all (in fact cleaners were still there at 4pm when we checked in) Floors were so dirty our socks were black in an hour. Patio and outside space is a cluttered mess. Was excited about the piano but nope many keys broken that it cant be played. Beds need upgrading, One bed has a rubber mattress and was horrendously hot. One bed had a spring sticking out and one bed broken (in guest house) Not enough towels for a house that size, we needed to run out and get paper towels and toilet paper that night maybe they forgot to stock up. Oh and ice maker was broken so we got ice. We had ordered a catered dinner Saturday night as I heard great reviews. We got sent Chef Kirk info from host (not Will who apparently is amazing so I read and does a Seafood boil? ) Our dinner was so bad and so overpriced. I picked out the menu from the list. So Basic and bland. The Gumbo wasnt gumbo at all (we had 8 true Cajun cooks in our family attending) the biscuits so dry. Potato salad was great at least. Not enough food at all for 25 at $1250 and Im not sure why I assumed the chef service would supply plastic bowls or something to serve it in. There is a dinner service for 11 or so at house so we had to use some coffee mugs for "gumbo" . We ordered Pizza later than night -total disaster, I was so embarrassed as I organized it.
All in All we were there together for Easter after five years and weather was great. Location was very convenient. Little sketchy at night I'm sure but great to be able to walk to FQ during the day. Nice coffee shop across the street great food great people.
