We are all looking forward to another stay next summer! ##### Dorothy B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcus S. 19 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Hideout From start to finish (and after) John was responsive and helpful throughout. I was in a unique position as I rented the same house the year before but with a different owner. John turned the house a complete 180\. It had the vibe of a B and B with snacks left for us, complimentary sundries in the bathroom and all the right updates. There were ZERO supplies the year before, not even frigging TP. John's pride as a homeowner and host is obvious throughout his home. If you're looking at this listing, just book it. You will not be disappointed. We had 6 ppl from ages 8-75 and everyone had a good time. Even my godparents visited for a couple of days and the process was easy and without any problem. I can't say enough good things about this listing. John has set the bar really high , I'm worried any other experience on VRBO will be a let down. ##### Marcus S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ---
