Thank you for the great review and your kind words about Tom and I ! It was our pleasure to host you super nice guests like you both and we loved that you caught a lot of fish ! Tom and I also enjoyed our interesting conversations with you both and we look forward to hosting you again !!

We are very happy to hear you really enjoyed your stay at Rippling Waters ! Glad to hear you enjoyed sitting by the campfire under the stars and that you hiked up to Lookout Point to savor the sunset each day. It was a pleasure speaking with you and hosting you both! Hope to see you again sometime soon!

Thank you so much for an awesome review !! Tom and I are so glad you had a chance to enjoy many special features of the property including hiking up to Lookout Point, fishing, enjoying our sweet horse Foxy and enjoying your morning with coffee overlooking the lake and mountain view. And thanks for letting us know the ice cube tray was missing. It was great meeting you both and we hope you come back sometime soon !

In response to this ungrateful guest, we say the following. We have had years of happy guests who enthusiastically revisit our private property as we open up to people who we do not know, that become our friends. We have incredible reviews, not just on our properties but on the effort we put in to make our guests visit with us the best it can be. We disagree on the facts, narratives and responsibilities in and around this guests claims. Let me share that VRBO supported us with this complaint. VRBO agreed that our description of the barn/stable accommodation was correct and not misleading in anyway. VRBO also said this situation does not require a refund at all. We offered her another accommodation here on the property that was far from the horses, she refused. We offered to have her return in the fall to enjoy the colors on the trees, she refused. We still sent a partial refund to this guest despite of her refusal to work with us fairly, regardless VRBO's agreement with us, and regardless of the nonstop texts and threats from this guest. This guest complaints shifted and changed throughout this horrible experience for us. The bottom line is that she did not like being up in the countryside which was admitted. Nor did she ask qualifying questions for additional information on the phone conversation we had the night before her arrival, where we laid out even more pertinent information. We are extremely proud of this accommodation, have no need to hide anything regarding it. In fact it is our most popular and booked accommodation. This guest chose to make us responsible for her lack of awareness and lack of accountability. For VRBO guests, please continue to enjoy our unique retreat as you all have for years. For those who rent their homes to VRBO guests, take heed and avoid this guest....as you may regret being kind and opening up your home to strangers.

Thank you for your incredible review and mostly for being such an awesome guest! Tom and I really enjoyed getting to know you and appreciate your wonderful enthusiasm for our property! It was great to have you join us while feeding the horses and see you're loving them all. Also lovely to see you up early for your morning hike. Your genuine appreciation for our magical place brings us great joy and we truly hope to see you return someday soon !!! PS thank you for making a memorable great first impression on our son!

To a super nice family, Tom and I really enjoyed getting to know you all and we are happy to hear you had an amazing time! Thank you for sharing your love with Foxy! Hope you will all visit again !

Thank you for your lovely review ! We look forward to hosting you both again !

Thank you so much for your awesome review!! We really enjoyed meeting your beautiful family (especially adorable kids) and our lovely conversations in the barn getting to know you and your wonderful family! In our book, your husband actually wins the fisherman of the year award for all the fish he caught...Wow !!! And what a joy it was for us to see your little ones partake in all the activities with such enthusiasm. And of course Mark loved running around with your kids, mud and all! And glad to hear you had a chance to enjoy the balcony relaxing together with a cocktail. We definitely hope to see you all again in the future. In the meantime, we wish all the best to our 5 star family !!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your beautiful review! Tom and I were so touched by your heartfelt comments about your stay, the property, the horses the lake, etc...and us...such an outstanding review like this makes hosting a joy! It was a such pleasure to get to know you all. Thank you for your best wishes to us. We definitely look forward to seeing you again with your adorable son who didn't want to leave as he fell in love with our horse Foxy (whom we celebrated his 38th birthday today)! All the Best to our 5 plus star guests ***

Thank you so much for your lovely review ! We really enjoyed getting to know your awesome family around the campfire roasting marshmallows for s'mores . We are so glad you enjoyed all the activities on the property plus some beautiful sites in the area. Please tell the boys Foxy misses them and so do we!

We are so happy you all enjoyed your stay. It was such a joy for us to see you all loving the lake activities, the horses, catching dinner, hiking and more !! Thank you for being lovely guests.....we truly hope you'll visit again sometime !
