Mrs. Smith

Loved our stay had two hiccups. One is the master toilet if it rains and did not see the note till after it had been used so a better placed note about that. The other was addressed appropriately would stay again. The nephews loved the trains.

Just like home

We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for such a wonderful stay at your VRBO during the eclipse. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and your thoughtfulness made it even more special. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the attention to detail you provided. The star-themed coffee pods were not only delicious but added a delightful touch to our mornings. Your selection of toiletries was exquisite, and we appreciated the luxury they added to our stay. Additionally, the well-stocked kitchen made it easy for us to prepare meals and enjoy cozy evenings in. Your home is not only comfortable but charming in every way. Each corner seemed to hold its own unique charm, making us feel right at home from the start. It's evident that you put a lot of care into creating such a welcoming space for your guests, and it truly did not go unnoticed. Thank you once again for your hospitality and for making our eclipse experience one that we will cherish for years to come. We hope to have the opportunity to stay with you again in the future.
