I stayed here with my large extended family. We all agree that it is was the most well stocked and nicely decorated Vrbo we have stayed in. We had everything we needed! There was so much to do, we ditched our plans to spend more time there. With fishing, kayaks, games, pool, hot tub, fire pit - there was something for all ages to enjoy. Would love to come back!

This property was amazing. Plenty of space, beds to equip all of us, lots of kitchen, necessities, and beautiful outside area. The only thing is that outside needed to be wiped down so that we could enjoy it a little bit more. Spiderwebs everywhere, and table outside needed to be wiped down. Had some small bug issues because of a window. I believe that doesn’t seal properly but outside of that, this was an amazing home.

Your place is stunning! The decor felt like we walked straight into an Anthropologie magazine. We took notes. ;) The backyard was our playground- we used it all, but the kayaks totally stole the show. The bunk room is an absolute must- have for our crew of kids. The lake is so peaceful and easy to enjoy. We’re honestly trying to figure out to convince you to sell it us, because we didn’t want to leave! Thank you for an unforgettable stay, we loved every second!

The house was decoration super cute and perfect for a girls space! The house can host 20 ppl however I would not suggest 20 adults. When we had issues come up, the host Jenna was very responsive which is appreciated. Now for the not so great parts. I’ve stayed in several AirBnb’s so this was not my first rodeo. Upon arrival the lockbox was dead to which the only way to access the house was to contact the host and get the spare set of keys out of a lockbox. We were warned about bugs and keeping the doors closed however once we arrived there were flies continuously in the kitchen as if the prior guests didn’t follow the rules or the cleaning crew. There were fly fans however they are rechargeable and not battery operated so it was a constant charge, switch fan, charge, etc the entire stay. The evening we arrived we had plans to grill burgers and in the middle of cooking the propane ran out and we could not locate any backup. We had to move all cooking inside and once host responded and alerted us where the propane was, it was located in the very back corner of a shed that was a mess. We had to move floats and life jackets and multiple items to find them. Not convenient. The same evening we arrived the sprinklers came on around 7pm, which meant #1 we couldn’t be outside in the yard and #2 everything was muddy by the fire pit and kayaks; such a mess. The hot tub never worked during our stay. A worker spent all Saturday afternoon on it which was weird to have him in our space.

Cute and funky decor

The house is very cute with all of the thoughtfulness of the decor, dishes, pillows, etc. It’s also large with plenty of areas to mingle, eat and relax. Overall the house is very cute and perfect for a big group of girlfriends. The only complaint was the amount of spiderwebs and dingy pool. The whole outdoor area could use a good leaf blow and wipe down of chairs. Although the pool vacuum was working, there was still some dirt and cloudiness at the bottom and on the steps.

Best River/Lake stay!

We loved everything about the house! The outside amenities were second to none! We enjoyed the pool so very much. The inside of the house was absolutely glamorous, and it had everything we could possibly need or want…More bedrooms than we could use, great climate control, huge fridge, lots of games and entertainment! We can’t wait to come back!
