Great time with my siblings celebrating our mother
The host and home were amazing. We did not need for anything, the house was welcoming and well stocked. Included special touches and personalized texts to ensure everything was good and you did not need anything. We do this trip every year and Molly was one of the very best when it came to accommodations and making us feel at home. Wonderful memories.. We HIGHLY recommend!

Fall Break at the Lake
We had a wonderful stay! The hostess, Molly, was great. She reached out ahead of time to let us know about the lake levels being a little low and she was very responsive to any questions we had. Her home is wonderful- very nicely decorated and extremely well stocked - it was like being at home! If we forgot anything, she already had it (ie charging cable everywhere and sleep spray by the beds!) She thought of everything! Location was great - quiet part of the lake. Loved the outdoors space which she had all lit up. The whole place was so cozy and inviting. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us (two families with 4 college/high school age boys). Lots of things for the boys to do at the house and outside (games, darts, arcade games, ping pong, etc.). Fire pit was perfect for making s’mores this time of year. It was a little cool so we didn’t use the beach but we did rent a boat and the dock was great for that. It was one of my favorite VRBO places we have stayed at over the years and there have been quite a few! Molly is wonderful and really went out of her way to make our stay as nice as possible! Thank you Molly and we will be back!!

Wonderful property!
We had an amazing time here! It’s a short drive from the city and the house had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the beach and dock and our pup had a blast swimming around in the cove. Molly was an excellent host and checked in daily. The cove was quiet and relaxing and we saw many deer. The home was very spacious, well decorated, and had more than I could have asked for as far as entertainment and space goes. We certainly hope to return soon!

Incredible Place
Wonderful stay at an incredible place. The pictures do not do it justice. The house was roomy, homey, comfortable and fun! Lots of places to relax and enjoy a quiet moment, and lots of places to have fun. Downstairs game area with bedrooms was perfect for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked and worked great for large family dinners. Easy to kayak and paddle board, as the cove was quiet, but had great access to the lake. We didn’t catch any fish from the dock, but had a lot of fun trying. Molly was perfect host with just the right communication. There were lots of little things that made this place great! Will definitely stay here again!
