We use this in one of our schools as an indoor play house. The kids just love it.

this house looks great and my son had a blast playing in the water for one hour and then the pump broke!

I bought this product for my son's 4th b-day, and it was overall a great buy. He just absolutley loves this playhouse, example...the fountain and mail slot. He wants to go outside all the time now and play.... I am wondering why there are 3 windows, which one is HUGE and they only made shutters for one?? I am going to buy him some boy curtains to put up. I am also disappointed that they took out the secret entrance at the bottome because "ALL" kids love to play hide and seek. I also throw a tarp over it at night time so it doesn't get ruined.

my kids loved playing with the house but the pump went out within 1 hour play and there is no secret door. that was one of the reasons i bought the house for the secret door and fountain.i was very disappointed about the door not being on the house. they took out the door for saftey reasons i guess that is good thing to do. but it is stil a great play house for my kids.

Great House with the unique feature of the fountain. It has been the one that has kept their interest the longest (1 and 3 yr. old). My only complaint is that the fountain is a bit too loud and it would be nice if it didn't have to be unscrewed to pull it out, since I would like to do a more thorough cleaning more often without the extra hassel. Still, it really is the best one of the bunch so far (they have palyed with many at this point).

We love this playhouse! My 2 1/2 year old son and 13 mos. old daughter play in it everyday for hours. It is really roomy and can easily fit 2 more kids.

GREAT PLAYHOUSE!! PURCHASED FOR MY 22 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. SHE LOVES IT! DOESN'T WANT TO GO INSIDE FROM PLAYING. WE BOUGHT A SMALL FOOD SET [$] TO KEEP IN THE HOUSE TO USE WITH THE SMALL SINK AND STOVE BURNER. SHE LOVES THE "SECRET DOOR" UNDER THE WINDOW. THE FOUNTAIN WORKS WELL, IT'S A LITTLE NOISY BUT FUN. WE DRAIN IT EVERY NIGHT, JUST TAKES A LITTLE WATER TO WORK. THE MAIN REASON WE CHOSE THIS ONE WAS BECASUE THE FINISHED HEIGHT OF THE HOUSE IS 4' 9". IT'S ROOMY AND WILL LAST A LONG TIME. ALSO THERE IS A WINDOW OR DOOR ON ALL FOUR SIDES SO THERE IS GOOD AIR FLOW AND THE HOUSE DOESN'T GET TOO HOT INSIDE.

Great hit at our party. More to offer than most houses that only keep my son interested for a few minutes. No problems so far with the water pump, but it is kind of loud.

Overall, I would rate this product well. The problems we had were the pump did not work well, it was roaring loud and acted like it might stop any moment after only an hour of play in which it was not on the entire hour. The play phone also had buttons that would stick on and remain beeping. I called Step 2, they were very helpful, and are sending replacements for pump and phone right away in the mail. I also thought it would be bigger inside. I would like it better if it had a table inside. My 2 year old, loves the fountain, but we are hoping the replacement holds up this time. I also did not think that the door to the house stayed shut well. The house does seems sturdy all around though.

Overall, I am pleased with this purchase. I ordered online, so I thought in person this was much smaller inside then I had hoped. The door does not seem to want to stay shut well. We had trouble with the pump sounding very loud and not working well, and the toy phone would not quit sounding with buttons sticking when we put it together, so I called Step 2. They were very helpful and are sending me another pump and play phone right away to replace the nonworking parts. I felt I was treated very well, as I should have been with a newly purchased playhouse. If the pumps hold up, I think this will be a very fun house. My 2 year old loves the water fountain, which is why I chose this playhouse. I also like the big window because we have this outside, and I can see easily when he is in the toy house.
