Lots of coffee choices along with the espresso bar. Lots of bathroom soap/shampoo/lotion choices, deep pile on the towels, and the kitchen was well stocked. Many matching dishes and utensils. The BBQ grill was amazing! A large gas Weber genesis. A fantastic property we would be happy to stay again if we visit the lake.

When you're traveling with three teenagers, finding a place that doesn't make everyone want to stage a rebellion is practically a miracle—and this place delivered!The location was perfect—close enough to our relatives in Stoutsville that we could pop over whenever we wanted, but far enough that we didn't have to hear Uncle Bob's "when I was your age" stories 24/7 (love you, Uncle Bob!).The kitchen was well-equipped for both my ambitious breakfast plans and the kids' midnight snack raids. Our teenagers actually said they "didn't hate it," which in teen-speak translates to a five-star review. ##### Priscilla O.

The property was spotless, which made it feel instantly comfortable and inviting. The location was incredibly convenient, just minutes from the lake, making it perfect for anyone looking to spend time on the water or enjoy the surrounding nature. The hosts were outstanding – friendly and attentive without being intrusive. They truly thought of everything! From fully stocked essentials to small touches like travel shampoo and conditioner , it felt like they anticipated our every need. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-cared-for getaway near Mark Twain Lake. ##### Louis L.

This was one of the most well-stocked and well equipped rentals I have ever stayed in. I can’t think of anything else that I would have wanted to find in a home. We slept very well in the very, very comfy, cozy beds. Vicki answered any questions we had immediately, and is a very gracious host. The weather turned out much more cold and rainy than we had hoped, but the house was so wonderful that it really didn’t matter. ##### Patricia J.

There is plenty of room for yard games, a huge deck overlooking the oversized pond, and an amazing corn crib fire pit! Our 7 and 8 year olds enjoyed trying to play badminton and it was fun feeding the fish in the pond too. Smores was definitely a highlight. ##### Janie M.

It's not too often that you book a VRBO simply as your vacation destination, but this is one of those places! We booked this home as a destination for our son's birthday weekend getaway. He wanted fishing, campfires and open spaces to play; and we got all that and more! Grandparents joined us for the weekend and there was more than enough room for sleeping arrangements, preparing and eating meals, and relaxing outdoors. The pond providing great fishing all weekend as well. The owners were kind and accommodating. There was plenty of firewood, good fishing tips, and the outdoor amenities were amazing! On the first day, our son said "We should come back here every year!" It was that good from check in to check out. Thank you Vicki for sharing your slice of Heaven with us and making us feel right at home! ##### Andy B.
