A&D Rise Getaways @ Fox Wood Path with hot tub

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 61 reviews2 weeks ago

We had a great stay here. Danielle was super responsive to any questions I had. The house was very clean and looked as advertised in the pictures. We enjoyed the Hot tub, Pac Man game and the projector in the upstairs bathroom. We appreciated the extra beach towels and the toys and games you had. Great time and a great place! Would definitely stay here again or another place with this group. Thank you!

Our stay at this home was great! We were in town for my mom’s birthday and Danielle had great recommendations listed in her book and had great recommendations for birthday cakes which was great! She was very responsive and answered all my questions! Her space felt very homey and had great amenities such as the pool and game room which we made sure to make use of! It’s a very calm quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again!

A&D Rise Getaways @ Lookout Trace Treehouse

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews1 week ago

We had stayed here for a quaint little bachelorette weekend and this place could not have been any better for it! It’s private, has lots of space for many to stay in separate beds, a couple common areas we could all hang out in and it’s got beautiful windows and views. We even enjoyed the patio thanks so a randomly beautiful spring day!

Cozy townhome in resort core!

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews3 months ago

Super place to get away from the hustle and bustle. There is a lot to do in the area and around the property, but if you just want to kick back and be secluded from people, it's greta for that too. Nice kitchen allows you to make your own meals, and it was nice having bedrooms on each floor of the property.

This was our first family getaway! We ended up spending almost all of our time due to the weather and it was fantastic! There was something in the house for everyone. We especially loved the downstairs with the foosball table and tv center with DVDs! This was the perfect way for the whole family to be together, even with a toddler!
