Nice place for large group getaway
Submitted: January 6, 2013
Stayed: December 2012
We had a large group who wanted to spend quality time together during the christmas weekend. Given that it was christmas weekend, we knew there wouldn't be much activities outside, so we wanted to select a place where we enjoy the property and time together and this one fit the needs perfectly.
It had everything that we had hoped for. It had spacious bedrooms so we could easily accommodate every family's needs, except one family who had to live in the garage converted bedroom. We had overlooked that fact. But since other rooms was spacious we were able to adjust our needs.
It had large dining area with a formal dining table and long bench where all of us could easily eat together at same time. The family area was the place where we spent most of our time as it was warm enough with the fireplace with large sofa and sitting space. The main kitchen had all the utensils and general needs stuff. We only carried the disposables and the food and had good time cooking.
There's also an adjoining house, connected through garage bedrooms, which is a house in itself, with two bedrooms, kitchen, bath and living room. We only used that side for bedrooms, since we wanted to spend time together in the main house. The main house also had large carpeted basement with pooltable and dartboards and bar area where we spent considerable time together. Given that it is such a large basement, I'm sure owner could add couple of kids games too (like foosball, airhockey etc) to have an increased value and also would help to keep kids busy. Also, not to be missed was the 8 person hot tub in the basement which was another fun activity area for us. I'm not sure why there is no shower in the basement, given that it has hot tub, but we managed well.
The property also had large swimming pool and basketball court outside, but since it was winter, we couldn't get to use it.
I think we would come back in summer to enjoy the outdoor portion of this house too. Overall very much satisfied with the stay and would recommend to others.
Owner's Response: Thank you for Choosing The Hill Top Mansion!!! Hope to see you in the summer.
