Amazing family getaway

The photos of the house don’t do it justice. What a beautiful home. We had 11 guests from ages 21 to 88. The location is amazing, who doesn’t want to wake up to look a beautiful lake. The house is well stocked with pots, pans and dishes. The “toys” to entertain the family was wonderful. Other than shopping we had everything we needed. Couldn’t be happier with the choice for our family. Thank you for letting our family enjoy your place.

This is a gorgeous property that easily held 9 adults - with room for more. It's spacious with lots to do, plus it's near many fun activities and restaurants, but has a quiet feel to it. Stacy was amazing to work with - seriously one of the best VRBO hosts that I've ever had. We would definitely go back again!

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Stacy made it say easy and even came and introduced herself and told us a little about the home. I loved this as no one ever does that.
