Geralynn is very nice. She responds quickly and is quite flexible with special requests. We had an all around excellent time. It was great to go down into SC for the beach etc and come back to this quiet sanctuary.
The two separated bedrooms (each in their individual pagodas) are very cool, created like a bohemian or islander experience. It’s also really romantic (or it would be if you’re not sleeping alone in a king bed like I was haha).
There’s def a ‘king and queen’ situation, like, whoever scores the main bedroom will feel that way. Everyone else has to share the other bathroom in the house, which, if you’re having to pee in the middle of the night, is a bit of a trek across a wet deck hoping no one locked the sliding glass door.
The hot tub is super swanky with excellent lighting and water features. It was a bit tricky getting the temp up to 104, but none of us own a hot tub so maybe that’s normal. In the end we set the temp, turned on the jets, and closed the top (hopefully that wasn’t bad for the top). That did the trick.
The house is very well equipped so it’s easy to cook large meals, which we did both nights. The kitchen has great natural lighting (even in the mountain fog) and views of nature. The four of us could do-si-do around each other pretty well.
There weren’t any towels in one of the bathrooms (or maybe just one) so I had to steal one from my friends bedroom. But there were towels by the hot tub which I thought was super courteous.
The sectional sofa is a great spot to play games, watch birds, have brunch, etc. I don’t know if this is mentioned on the page, but there are these bird feeders right outside the giant window that get a lot of action. So if you have any interest in nature at all, you will be quite delighted.
Something should be said about the decor of the house. The place has a full on golden girls -esqué decor. So if you’re planning on having a sexy weekend, be prepared for a ‘naughty at gramma’s house’ vibe. The walls are also covered in giant mirrors. Like a half the wall space in the house are mirrors. It’s either great or uncomfortably distracting for depending how vain you are. I was just reminded of how awkwardly sunburned I was.
The cleanup is easy and reasonable if you’re a generally clean group.
I would probably book this place again. For the price you get quite a bit.
