House was clean with everything you need for a great vacation in nature. Cool town and beautiful views from the house. Kayaks and fishing were very good.

We had a great time staying at this house. It was clean, well stocked with everything you would need, and the view is amazing. The host was very responsive. The Vrbo app led us to the wrong address about 10 minutes away, but the host quickly gave us the right one. We would definitely recommend this property.
This home was perfect for our family getaway! Plenty of bedrooms (such comfortable beds) and space to spread out and come together to enjoy our week away. Plenty of nature and fun things to do in the area!

So clean, safe, comfortable, and picturesque. Hosts were immediately responsive when the directions in the app took us to the wrong address. Other than that, the stay was ideal. Beds were comfortable and everything we needed was furnished.

Thanks so much for the kind words. We certainly hope that you make it back to see us.
The property and house are beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the kayaks and fishing with the beautiful view. It is close to all main attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Host was quick to respond when needed. Wonderful trip and thank you!
We had a great time at your property. Having the kayaks and being able to fish right off the deck was fantastic and kept everyone happy. The goats are great and provide everything.

Thanks so much for the kind words, it sounds like you had a great time. You enjoyed the provided kayaks and fished off of the dock and said that we are wonderful goats. I think that you meant hosts, lol. That being said it sounds like you gave a 4 ⭐️ review for a 5 ⭐️ experience. Well we hope that you come back and visit us, we would love another chance to wow you.
Thanks,
Jason

The house is great and location is beautiful and quiet. The house was spotless and had all that we needed. There were 6 adults, plenty of space! Would rent again when we return to the area!
