We stayed in the Windsor Treasure this past week and had the best time. We are a family of five with an 11 year old and 4 year old twins. It is sometimes hard to find things that please both the preteen and the tots. This house has it all - of course the arcade being the biggest hit with the kids. They spent HOURS in there playing together, while my husband and I were able to actually have a conversation. We travel at least 2x a year and always try to address the things I look for in reviews when booking:
The accommodations were clean, spacious, and well appointed. We could have had another family come with us, or grandparents, as the entire top floor wasn't used. This would be a perfect house for two families traveling together. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need. We usually eat two meals in and one meal out every day we are on vacation, so having a kitchen that has anything we could want was helpful. There was also a grill, but we did not use it. On top of it all, there were multiple strollers, a highchair, a few games, a pack n play, and some kids plates and cups. We brought a stroller, but it was great to see that they were available if we did not. The beds were comfortable and every closet had extra linens, blankets, and pillows. The house also had pool towels, which saved so much room in our luggage.
The double washers and dryer were also great to have, as we would throw wet towels and bathing suits in after use to dry them up, and also came home with all clean clothes! The outside area was wonderful. We loved the pool and used it multiple times a day. It was warm and clean. I was anxious about the pool and having small kids, but the doors were impossible for them to unlock, there is a door alarm, and also a secondary netted fence surrounding the pool as back up. I did not feel like the pool was a safety issue at all, and I cannot say that for every place we have stayed.
We also enjoyed the amenities of the resort. The kids loved the zero entry pool and water park area. There is a place to get food and drinks, an arcade, and a gym by the resort pool. There were plenty of chairs and places to sit at the resort pool. The "Castle" playground was steps from the house and we spent a lot of time there as well. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. We considered staying a new resort in the area instead of renting a house, and all of the review said it takes a long time each time you leave to get through security. Who wants to spend their precious vacation waiting in line to get to their accommodations? Not a problem here, after you check in, you are given a paper with a QR code that you can scan to get in the rest of your trip.
One of the best things about this house are the owners. They put together an excellent, searchable guide that had information about anything we could possibly need or want to know about the house or the area. I used that guide multiple times a day. It saved me so much time trying to figure things out around the house such as trash, how to turn the arcade games on, how to use the appliances, where things are located, etc. I have never seen anything like it. You can tell Bill and Donna are passionate about wanting their guests to have the best vacation ever.
We can attest that the house is also close to popular attractions. We went to Magic Kingdom one day and it was great it did not take us long to get home - less than 15 minutes. We also enjoyed the Showcase of Citrus, if you want something a little less overwhelming. It is tradition to ask each kid what their favorite part of our trips are when we are headed home and all of them agree - the house/arcade/swimming- above all the other activities we did in 6 days...
I have already sent the link of this property to some of my friends and family, and considering staying in this house, or another of Bill and Donna's next year. It will be hard to top this vacation. Thank you Bill and Donna for helping us get through the rest of the cold NH winter.
