Our group had about 17 adults & 5 kids & 1 dog. We enjoyed the layout of the large common room as a place we could all sit together for meals & board games. I found the house to be comfortable with AC in the bedrooms, but not the kitchen or living/dining area. Others in our group thought it was too warm. The creek right behind the house is really lovely, and we spent a lot of time relaxing by the fire pit watching the creek. We saw a couple ducks & harmless snakes ( it IS in the woods by water, so that’s inevitable). The kitchen is stocked well, but we had some trouble getting the outdoor grill heated up enough to cook on. All in all, it’s a great place for a large family group.
