We just spent a weekend at the Yellow House. Four families which included us and three daughters & their families. (6 adults, 2 teenagers, and 3 little kids) We met here for a family Christmas since Columbia is mid-way for everyone.
The house was an excellent choice for us, giving each family their own bedroom & bathroom. With three livingrooms and four tables w/ chairs there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out to play cards, do art projects, and just hang out.
The backyard is huge so plenty of room for the kids to run around. (We played a very competitive game of kickball) The patio is very large with 3 large picnic tables and a fire ring. We made s'mores so bring your marshmallows and sticks.
The kitchen is stocked with lots of dishes, pots/pans, & utensils. There are two refrigerators so plenty of room for food & drinks.
The main livingroom is huge, with a very large sectional and two recliners. The other two livingrooms were nice with couchs and chairs. All 3 livingrooms had tvs with direct-tv and Netflix. The internet was hit or miss at times.
If you are looking for a great place for family gatherings then this place is great! (We plan to go back again next December) However if you are expecting a miraculously clean place then this might not be for you. It was mostly clean, but it could definitely use a deep cleaning. It is a huge house so I'm sure it's hard to hit every detail. Some examples were cobwebs in ceiling corners, dust build-up on ceiling fans, refrigerator needed a good cleaning, (especially freezer!) and the wood floors needed to be swept better around the base-boards. Also several windows needed cleaned, as well as the windowsills. The beds were clean, although one of the queen beds had a big hole in the fitted sheet. The bathrooms were OK. Overall it was acceptable. I will say the house has a very "homey" feel to it. Almost like coming home to grandma's house. 😀
