This was just the most perfect getaway we could imagine! Loondocks is a tremendously comfortable, well-appointed home away from home. The teenagers loved the bunk house, where they could sleep until noon undisturbed, and there were plenty of watercraft and toys to keep the rest of us entertained without leaving the grounds. Like others have mentioned, the kitchen is very well-stocked. Sheets are soft, towels are ample and plush, neighbors were very friendly and welcoming (with cute and well-behaved doggies to play with ours!). The layout is just awesome, with spaces for everyone to rest and be quiet or play board games or talk or play guitar without disturbing anyone else. The deck with fun lights, the fire pit, and the mix of lovely landscaping and trees made for plenty of outdoor meals, laying about in full lazy vacation mode, and snacking in the sun. The Frozen Spoon ice cream and coffee shop provided our afternoon treat run, and Lupulin tap house has an incredible array of craft beer on tap with a dog-friendly deck, to boot. (As an aside, I could not believe how few bugs there were!)
I know different folks have different needs, but the stone steps were absolutely no problem, even with suitcases and coolers. We had easy parking for all three cars. While there is only one bathroom, the outdoor shower is very cool, and the six of us had no difficulty managing, with no complaints about hot water (though we are all pretty speedy). My husband had to work a little, and the internet connection was very good. The TV and huge, soft couch was perfect for a little winds down Netflix time.
Most of all, Matt and Michelle were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Our ten year old is just begging us to buy the house from them, but I think we will just plan on coming back!
