Two couples stayed for our bi-annual get together! It was so much better than a motel! Your house was so perfectly located, clean, and you provided above and beyond the normal niceties.

Two older couples, friends of 40+ years , we try to do a getaway a couple times every year. Batavia has always been our half way between spot. We usually do a motel. This was so much better!

Two couples who have been friends for over 40 years. We try to get together a few times a year. This vrbo is so perfectly situated, we can antique, shop, or go thrifting….and later on the casino. Something for us all. We loved it. And the house is very well appointed with plenty of extras and amenities. Like creamer, or waters, or napkins, very nicely done. ##### Diana P.
