We loved our stay at the High-Falutin' Hideaway in late May and would certainly stay again. We had 5 adults and 3 kids and the house offered plenty of areas we could all gather together as well as lots of other places to get away for some quiet time. The views were just awesome, and even though there was another house nearby, all the trees and the position of the house provided complete privacy from every view.
There are a lot of outdoor activities within a 20 minute drive but the house also offered a LOT to do right on the premises. We did have rain one day but the two covered side porches still provided plenty of space to enjoy the hot tub, grill, fireplace, and ping pong.
Towels, blankets, throw pillows, couches and chairs (inside and out) were thoughtfully provided throughout the house to make our stay very comfortable, and decorations, overall design, and games made it a very ‘fun’ place to stay. There was an individual AC/heat control for each bedroom upstairs and one for the downstairs. This was a great design as it is a very large house and sun heats up each room differently throughout the day.
I would absolutely recommend staying here to any of my own friends or family.
Helpful hints:
- You may want to consider bringing a fan to help circulate the air in the bedroom downstairs, especially with showers or using the washer/dryer located in the bedroom
- Be VERY careful on the stairs, the dark wood can be a bit tricky especially in low light, or when carrying luggage up and down
- Bring some extra ping pong balls as you can easily lose them off the porch
- Let the ‘early riser’ in your party have the east bedroom (kitchen side) as the morning sun can get pretty bright pretty early!
- There are no closets period, so pack accordingly. There are dresser drawers and a couple of hooks on the back of the bedroom doors.
- The on/off switch for the old school video game table is in the back on the very bottom and there is a volume control, you just have to look for it.
- There are plenty of dinner plates, glasses, basic cooking utensils, but I would suggest bringing extra paper towels, soap, spices, etc. if you have a larger group
- Did I mention the stairs? NO joke
