Fall stay
Very comfortable and clean house that accommodated the 20 of us well. Upstairs rooms all have adjoining bathrooms. However there is no bathroom in the basement or in the bedroom above the game room. Since the closest available bathroom was on the first floor these bedrooms were somewhat inconvenient. Otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay with lovely outdoor space and comfortable accommodations.

Friends Weekend
The house was perfect for our large group, with plenty of space and great amenities. The spacious rooms and bathrooms in most bedroom were convenient for a group of 15 adults, and having a well-stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals for everyone. The yard and oversized front porch made the house even more enjoyable, providing the perfect setting for both daytime relaxation and evening gatherings.

A great house for a big group!
My extended family of 13 adults and 1 baby really enjoyed our long weekend at the Jewell house. Everything was clean and comfortable. The huge kitchen, dining room and covered porch allowed us all to be together without feeling crowded. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed hiking in the nearby parks.

50th Anniversary Trip
The property was gorgeous, and a perfect fit for the 14 of us (plus a couple of dogs)! The bedrooms were perfect, with multiple A/C zones, and the common spaces were awesome. The chef's kitchen was unbelievable!

We Love This Place
This was our second family weekend at Jewel House and it did not disappoint! The big well stocked kitchen makes meal time prep and clean up easy and it has plenty of beds & baths for our group of 17. The front porch is a great place to relax and enjoy time catching up and we especially enjoyed our evening spent around the backyard fire pit. It's private and peaceful, just what we were looking for. The host was quick to respond to text messages when we found a small issue at check in that was quickly resolved. We're looking forward to coming back next year!

Friends Reunion
We really enjoyed our stay! We had a large group of 24 friends, and the house met all of our needs. It was very clean, had enough bedrooms for everyone, and a large dining table that accommodated everyone for big dinners. We spent a lot of time throughout the weekend outside playing lawn games and sitting by the fire. The place was close enough to grab amenities or go to a grocery store, but off the beaten path and quiet. It was exactly what was listed and made for a where enjoyable time. Would recommend this place for a large gathering!

Great house, wonderful hosts...
My family of 17 stayed at Jewel house for the 2023 edition of our annual family reunion. Our hosts were very responsive to a couple of small issues we had when we first arrived, and the house was a "perfect fit" for our stay. I would highly recommend Jewel house for any large groups that are looking for a warm and cozy location for a large group event.

60th Birthday Weekend
The Jewel House was perfect for 16 friends that know each other for 50 years to celebrate our 60th birthdays! The house was amazing, especially the kitchen! We had a fabulous time hiking in the area and spending time in the cozy living room. We highly recommend the Jewel House!

Great Getaway with Cycling Friends
The house worked beautifully for our group of 14 adults. We were out and about most of the time (cycling, hiking, sight-seeing, visiting historic sites), but loved gathering on the fabulous front porch as well as group dinners in the enormous dinning room.

Plenty of Room
We were a group of 16, four siblings with our mostly adult kids and a few significant others. We get together every summer for a reunion weekend and were thrilled to find a house big enough to hold all of us. The biggest plus to this house is that almost all bedrooms have a private bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for meals and having two dishwashers and two refrigerators was a great help. We enjoyed spending time on the big front porch and took advantage of the fire pit in the back yard on our last night. My only feedback would be about the twin beds. Everyone who had a queen or king bed had a very comfortable bed but the same could not be said about the twins. They seem to be intended more for small children and our 20 somethings would have preferred mattresses that were a little softer. That being said, everyone loved the house, the secluded location where we had plenty of room to enjoy ourselves and most of all that we were all together under the same roof. We are definitely planning a return trip to the Jewel House!

Perfect for family gatherings
Our family and guests were very happy with the house and property. Bedrooms were large, lots of room to spread out in living and dining rooms; and deep covered front porch with large table was great. Owner was easy to work with and very responsive.

A Perfect Fall Weekend
The Jewel house was everything listed and more! From a communicative and helpful host to the spotless and sprawling property my group had a fantastic reunion here. The kitchen is unbeatable with a massive dining room for large communal meal. Everything was top notch in terms of finishes and there was no shortage of attention to detail. We have been renting homes for 8 years to bring a large group together and all the guests agreed this was the best by far yet. Thank you for having us and for anyone looking for the perfect upstate stay for a large group look no further!

An amazing weekend
We had such a fantastic time at this property. Plenty of room, enough bathrooms, places to escape your friends, lovely setting away from it all. Truly an amazing house. This is not a complaint, but some people were working on the property. I did not expect that and I think at times people stay in the side house. The board member who was there was very kind. I just did not expect to see anyone else on the property.
