This property was the cleanest vrbo I’ve ever stayed at, the host was very caring and accommodating. I highly recommend this place, they even had snacks for us to enjoy. Great view of the lake and exactly as described. Great value and place to stay!
This home had everything we needed for our stay. The house was super cute and cozy! The owner was very kind and responsive. The view of the lake was absolutely beautiful!
This cottage was clean and soacious. The lake view was great. The hosts left us snacks and drinks. And communicated with us about everything. Definitely recommend staying here.
The host is great. Very responsive. The kitchen is lacking some basics - large bowl for salad, serving dish, etc. - but we made do easily. There were plenty of snacks, which was very kind. The place was clean and comfortable.
We spent a beautiful & peaceful week here and would come back in a heartbeat! The kayaking and fishing was delightful and we were surprised to find it stocked with a variety of snacks and drinks! Thank you Amanda for a great stay!
We had a wonderful time on the lake at this new rental. Owners were very communicative and accommodating, easy to work with and understanding. Will definitely rent again in the future. Thanks again for hosting us.
