Our whole family (my husband and I, five of our adult children + two of their partners, and my mother-in-law) LOVED staying here. The open layout of the main floor and the BIG kitchen was perfect for having lots of people cooking and hanging out together around meals. Really nice to have A/C during the August week we stayed there since it was +102 degrees outside! Having the creek and private dock just steps away from the house allowed for swimming, fishing, and splashing around in innertubes. Next time we'd like to bring a kayak! The owner Elizabeth was patiently indulgent of all of my questions before and after arrival, since cooking for a big gang like ours requires a bit of planning ahead. We would definitely stay here again - it was the perfect family getaway.
The one thing to know ahead of time is that although is does indeed sleep 12, there are only three actual bedrooms. It worked just fine for us since our kids were willing to bunk in together, but if you have a snorer in the bunch you may want to move one of the beds into the sun room like we did! :)
