Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Nathan was one of the absolute best hosts I’ve ever had at any VRBO. He was kind, answered quickly and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We were there for a horse show at the equestrian center and the property was perfect! The location could not have been better and Nathan was such a gracious host, we were able to focus on our daughter’s competition and not worry about anything else.
