Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the property and its location. You were wonderful guests, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime! -Van FVR
House was exactly as it was stated in the description. Although, the house sits on a main road so at night sitting on the deck you hear the cars going by. Beautiful view of the lake, beach was nice and clean. Sunrises were beautiful as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful lake views, clean beach, and stunning sunrises. You were great guests, and we’d be happy to have you stay with us again! -Van, FVR
We loved this perfect family space! We’ve done a lot of VRBO’s over the past ten years and this was by far the best appointed. They have thought of everything, and the space was spotless. We hope that it remains available in the future, as we plan to return.

Thank you so much for the kind words Jeremy! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and all the amenities. You were wonderful guests, and we'd be happy to host you again anytime! -Van FVR
We were notified before arriving on some minor issues. All was handled quickly and had no effect on our visit. The house was beautiful and clean, looked just like the pictures. The host went above and beyond for our stay. There was a welcome basket with snacks the kids enjoyed, a binder full of great information about the house and area, everything we could possibly need was there. We have rented from several other properties and you never know if soap, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc. are provided. This house had it all. Little things you may have forgotten, floss or q-tips. Already there. It may seem silly but I loved how every switch and drawer was labeled. It took the guess work out and there was no time lost flipping things trying to figure out what does what. The hot tub worked , firewood was provided the for beach fire pit. We appreciate all the thought put in to this property to make an enjoyable vacation.
