Thank you! We look forward to hosting you again and appreciate your feedback.
I've stayed in a number of VRBO rentals and hands down, this home was one of my favorites. The home was exactly as represented and hosts were exceptional, kind and responsive. The location was ideal for horse showing, literally a minute drive or ten minute walk to GLEF. The number of extras this home had was remarkable - a lot of thought and attention to detail was put into getting the home ready for us, including fresh strawberries in the fridge and getting me an extra drying rack for all our lined dry show clothes. It felt like my own home with all the things I would need at my fingertips. Beds and linens were high quality and the two washers/dryers was really awesome. We literally wanted for NOTHING. I look forward to staying in this home again. Thank you to the Nelsons! Perfection.

The home is well-equipped, yet uncluttered, so you can make the space your own.
