Summary: We stayed in this property a year ago before my sister died. We returned to mark her 1st year anniversary. It is beautiful and was just what our family needed. The whole process is easy and I highly recommend this property. Our 2 year old grandson adores playing in the yard, partiuclarly the trampoline and cubby house. Having breakfast in the sun room overlooking the pond is heaven.

Summary: We spent a fabulous 4 days at Mackaloucoo Retreat MR1. The house is enormous - lots of room to spread out. The kids loved spending time in the hot tub during the day, and the adults enjoyed the hot tub at night. We even attempted to catch fish in the pond but were unsuccessful.Sam and Andy respond quickly to any enquiries.
