I could easily make this review much too long just trying to describe how wonderful the home, and David and Stacy, are! So I'll make this as succinct as possible...
Prior to arrival - David and Stacy contacted us several times to make sure we had all the information needed for a smooth arrival. They asked what our favorite beverages were, and we were greeted with a welcome note, a bottle of our favorite wine, plus other thoughtful gifts to help us enjoy our stay. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome!
Upon arrival - The home was SPOTLESS! I'm not exaggerating - it was squeaky clean, and was very well stocked with kitchen essentials, beautiful furniture and bedding, lots of towels, and plenty of blankets and throws for curling up and relaxing in front of the picture windows. Did I mention the views? Our jaws dropped when we walked into the living room and saw Lake Superior right outside the windows. Watching the sun and shadows move across the Pictured Rocks shoreline was incredibly beautiful, and we watched a Bald Eagle hovering and hunting 20' off the shore right in front of the house, then roosting in the large White Pine at the water's edge. We simply drank in the beauty of this location!
Departure - My husband and I were both sad to leave. David and Stacy responded to our text that we had left by wishing us a safe journey, then texted again to thank us for leaving the home neat. They also refunded the damage fee within 24 hours, so we got an email the very next morning stating it had already been refunded. We are relatively new to VRBO, but we've traveled extensively and used airbnb, too, and David and Stacy are, by far, the best owners we've ever worked with! I only wish I could leave more than 5 stars. :)
