Reviews

Great stay!
5/5 stars
My family stayed at this house and had a great time! Last summer we came for a long weekend. This year we extended our stay to 10 days. The house is modern, well designed, and very functional. The backyard is huge, the landscaping is beautiful and the pool/hot tub is a delight. We grilled on the porch and roasted marshmallows every night. Tony and Jenna were super helpful getting us set up and addressing any questions that came up. We definitely plan to come back next summer!

Worth every penny!
5/5 stars
For our daughter's wedding we had family stay at Merlin's Escape. It was so comfortable and beautiful! Our guests stated that they felt like they were being spoiled with such luxury. The home had everything we needed and more (a movie room, game room, spacious kitchen and multiple eating areas). The beds were comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. The grounds were breath taking. I wish we could have enjoyed the pool area but it was February. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone who would like to stay in a comfortable, quiet, spacious, beautiful home.
- Jeremy & Nancy

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that the group felt spoiled by the luxury of the accommodations during such a special occasion. Providing comfort and exceeding expectations are our top priorities. There is definitely ample space for everyone to spread out. We hope you come back to visit when you can enjoy the spool and hot tub!
