Fun At the Family Oasis

We had a great time playing Cornhole and board games, plus had a fire one night to check out the stars! Plenty of space for 6 adults, with 3 bathrooms (when needed!). Really short drive to Holiday World and Splash-n-Safari!

Great for our family

Overall it was a wonderful stay! We stayed as our entire family for our trip to Holiday World and used all the rooms and beds. There were linens provided for all beds (except for pillow cases) and plenty of towels for everyone! Just a heads up, if you do plan to come be sure to bring all your own shower supplies as no soaps/hair products were provided. The host was very responsive and it was a very smooth process! The location was great for our visit and do plan to return!

Great family place

We had a wonderful stay with our family ranging from adulthood to infant. They had everything we needed and more. The only problem was the pictures with the listing show a bunk which we were hoping to have and they had a twin with a trundle. Which eorked out finebut would have preferred the bunk bed.worked out fine

Family vacation

We enjoyed the amenities and closeness to Holiday World. The children loved playing in the big yard. The kitty was an added bonus! Gas station next door was useful. The children were a little disappointed because in pictures it showed bunk beds, but there weren't any. Overall though, it was a great stay and fun trip for all!

Perfect Location for Lincoln Amphitheater

Our band played at Lincoln Amphitheater and needed a local stay for some of the band and crew. This worked perfectly for our needs. The venue was literally just a few minutes down the road. The owner was responsive, everything was clean and we had plenty of places for people to sleep. The kitchen had pots/pans/dishes for the quick breakfast we made. And my two teenagers were absolutely thrilled to find there was a cat on the property. If we come back to Lincoln City we would definitely stay here again!

Family oasis

Having throw rugs on floors knowing they had not been washed in a while is not very sanitary. Bedding, blankets need to be washed. House needs to be deep cleaned. Surface looks good, but old and worn out. Air conditioner did not really keep house cool, however it was unseasonably hot during our stay. Yard was very nice but had no idea we were sitting on a highway. Saying it sleeps 12 people is very deceiving with trundle beds. You have to climb through the other bed to get out of your bed. Thank goodness our granddaughter is only four, would have been awkward to have an older child hooked to their parents bed. Or it should be advertised as trundle beds and an air mattress. I guess for the price this is what you get in or around Santa Claus, IN. We still had a great time, but would not rent this property again.

Perfect Family Retreat

Invitingly comfortable accommodations awaited us as we arrived to this well appointed home. Inviting lights over the picnic area, welcome basket outfitted with all the fixings for smores as well as bug spray, firestarter block and lighter. Comfortable beds, inviting living room, roomy kitchen and 3 bathrooms for accommodations up to 10 were just what we needed for a family retreat to relax and enjoy being together. Games were provided in one of the bedroom closets as well as bag toss game for outdoor fun. WE greatly enjoyed our stay and the owner made us feel we were welcome guests. You can tell she put a lot of effort into making this home a retreat and not just a place to stay.

Cozy home with close proximity to Holiday World

We had a wonderful stay overall. Our first evening, we went down to Lincoln State Park and did some hiking/swimming. The next 2 days, we ventured to Holiday World, which was an extremely easy drive from this location. We had a group of 12 people, 5 adults/7 kids, and we comfortably fit in this house. It was wonderful to have the air mattress and pull out couch available to make it happen! Kitchen was also great and included everything we needed to prepare our meals. Only negative to this house was the location. On 2 different days, we had people wander onto the property and not say a word to us. We also awoke our 1st morning to find someone had vandalized/broken into a vending machine across the street. With several young kids in our group, we didn't always feel the safest here...

Nice but overpriced

Property is nice but not as nice as nightly rate plus fees would suggest. Two nights just under one thousand dollars. No way twelve people could sleep there comfortably. We filled the place with six adults and two small children. It wasn't as clean as one would expect. Windows, mirrors were dirty and house was dusty throughout. Lots of little things require maintenance, storm door doesn't close, deck sags, rocky area to walk on is trip hazard, promised wood for fire pit wasn't there, central air unit sounds like a jet plane starting up, grill ran out of propane during use, clothes washer wasn't available. . The house desparately needs some TLC.
