Stay Away!
I was very disappointed in this property. It felt like it was someone’s house that they just rent out. When they do rent it out. They shove everything they own in random places of the house and leave town. The house must use a well since the water had a metal taste to it. They have a whole list of things you can’t do. None of them were explained on the listing and it was really difficult to follow all of them and feel comfortable in the rental. You couldn’t use certain doors to get in the house or to the deck. There was a small hail storm during our visit and a large three stall garage we weren’t allowed to us. Forget bringing pets because they can only stay on their kennel while inside the house. I was overall very disappointed in this property and wish I could have felt more comfortable while spending so much money to be on vacation.

Family Retreat
The Woodhaven Retreat worked out perfectly for our family. The house was spacious with the right number of beds/baths. The location was very relaxing as we did not feel like we were in a metro area. We very much enjoyed the property.

Conferences
We gave the location a one because we were given a wrong address in our check in email, This took us to an empty field. After a long day of meetings it was frustrating to have to go back on line and go to the vrbo add to get the correct location. The house was beautiful and clean!

What a superb home in the woods!
We needed to have some major repair work done on our home so we were searching for a place to stay that would accommodate our family of six and our dog. This place was exactly what we were looking for! The home is spacious and the location, for us, was perfect. I loved the family room and the game room for the kids. My only negative review would be the water in the home. It had a rusty taste and smell to it. The shower in the master had very little water pressure and took about 15 minutes to get warm. But everything else was excellent! Would stay here again.

Great Home for Family Stay
This is a beautiful home and property for a family gathering. We had our whole family stay as the home was local to our daughter's wedding in New Prague. We made meals, played games, and enjoyed the quiet setting. I strongly recommend this property and would stay again!

This home is impeccably clean with plenty of room to spread out. Additionally, the kitchen is nicely stocked with the basics for cooking. The neighborhood is quiet so you can catch up on much needed sleep.

This is a beautiful and very well appointed home. We were able to bring our dogs with which is so important. Great space for them out in the backyard as well. The lounging and play space were perfect for our daughter as well. Overall, very relaxing.
