You'll feel right at home!

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!

This host is awesome!

This stay exceeded our expectations. There were thoughtful, handy little extras everywhere. We didn't want for anything. The highlight of my stay was I learned how to use an espresso machine! When we needed to communicate with the host, their response was always prompt and kind. We will definitely stay here again.

Awesome property!

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.
