Can't Say Enough Great Things!

Starting with the booking process to check out Alma was quick to answer questions and was extremely helpful. As soon as we walked into the property we were already wanting to plan a trip back with the kids. Every details was thought of from the basics to details that were above and beyond other properties we have booked. The canoes were great and we also brought our paddle boards and enjoyed the water. We brought our dog and the fenced yard was perfect for letting her run around and enjoy the house as well. All of the thoughtfulness Alma and her team put into this property shine through even in labelling light switches so you aren't struggling to figure things out as a guest. Every time we thought of something we might need, it was there, even a wheelbarrow to haul would from the truck to the firepit! The third floor loft kid's area made us sad w were on an adults only trip, but definitely will have us coming back with the whole family next time!

WOW WOW WOW!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!! is how I thought of this rental when I saw the listing and I knew it was going to be the place to stay. Now that we've stayed there, I can say that it lived up to all my expectations! The listing on VRBO is very accurate. The home is absolutely beautiful. It was immaculate and comfortable. The owners have put a lot of thought into making the home a place the entire family can enjoy. They were easy to get hold of when I had a question. I highly recommend.
