Such an amazing experience When we go there the house was clean it felt cozy and there was some laminated paper to explain the rules of the house the history of the house and the family also how to get around the house. It was easy to get a hold of the owner and get a reply in hours. The house was perfect for the family with board games the jacuzzi was a plus, there was extra blankets the beds were comfy as was the blankets. and overall the amazing peaceful experience we had as a family. This place was perfect and we would love to comeback and do it again. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to getaway. Thanks to John and his wife and kids for letting us use their home for our vacation. ##### Jesus B. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kim M. 1 Jun 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Sadly, Not What We Expected The home is spacious. However, there was food in the freezer so, we didn’t have any extra room for our frozen food (it would have been nice to know ahead of time). There was old coffee grounds in the coffee maker, the patio had not been cleaned off (leaves, spider webs). Then when we went to grill dinner and the bbq was not in the best shape. There was gunk in the grill that we had to clean off and then the grate fell into the coals so we had to rig it up to cook our steaks. If we had known this ahead of time we would not have brought anything to grill! We went to open our wine and there was no corkscrew so we had to drive to get one taking time out of our relaxing weekend. All said, we wouldn’t stay here again. ##### Kim M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanie B. 6 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyable Weekend Getaway Thank you so much to John and his family for letting us rent this cozy home. This VRBO was easy to find in the dark. There was enough parking for all 3 vehicles. Although the listing stated that we would have to purchase firewood, the property manager we spoke to said the wood/kindling was available for us if we wanted to build a fire. We were surprised by an apple pie waiting for us in the kitchen. We would like the owners to define "fully stocked." Altho the listing said fully stocked, a few essentials were missing like a vegetable peeler, paper plates, cups. There were mixed messages on the paper work. Like "please don't eat our food", yet the fridge had condiments. We weren't sure what that meant. Were we allowed to use what was in the fridge? We have used vacation rentals and "fully stocked" included condiments/salad dressing etc in the fridge. Yes we appreciated the teas/hot chocolate packets, but some were expired. Please check your supplies periodically. We have had Owners who were very particular with their properties and we want to comply with every rule by the owners so we won't get charged extra fees. We enjoyed our stay very much,but the mixed messages were unnerving because of past experiences with other Vrbos. Thank you again for making your home available to us. ##### Joanie B.
