Summary: It’s hard to know where to begin because there are so many positives about this property and the hosts. We have stayed in many VRBO’s, but this was the best in so many ways. I can’t say enough about how great the hosts were. They responded to every question immediately and were so helpful and nice. We notified them after dark on the first night we were there about the battery needing charged in one of the fishing boats expecting them to address it in the morning. But they sent someone out that night who replaced the batteries in both boats and a motor in one. The property is immaculate, beautiful, super clean and so peaceful. Check in and out was a breeze. We loved that it was secluded since there were 24 of us ranging from 2 to 69 years old, so we didn’t have to worry about the kids being noisy. The walking trail through the woods is awesome and the fishing was great. The basketball court was great for playing basketball and pickle ball that we brought with us. We have never stayed anywhere that literally provided everything you could possibly need and plenty of it. They thought of everything. There was even a welcome basket when we arrived that had the most amazing things in it. I could go on and on about this place and the hosts and still feel like I haven’t done justice with this review. I’ll wrap this up by saying I have never written a review anywhere near the length of this one. Can’t wait to come back.
