Best Hosts and home on VRBO

We can’t say it enough, Karen and George are by far, hands downs the best hosts one could ever ask for. The attention to your situation personally upon checking is without a doubt the best in the business. This was our second stay at their beautiful home and it will NOT be our last. In a time where our family was visiting for again not so great times, Karen and George and their home made those times so much better. We thank you both, from my entire family, thanks will never be enough.

We stayed at this property while in town for a funeral - it proved to the perfect place for our family. The hosts were responsive and friendly. It was one of the best stocked rental properties I’ve stayed at, including a little coffee area and lots of family friendly games.

Wow! Even better than expected.

This property had everything you could want and more. We were there for family/holiday visits, but truly, could have never left the house and been happy. Clean, comfortable, spacious, safe, well appointed, well located, great outdoor space. Our kids were bragging to the rest of the family and my grandkids had a great time with the games provided when they came to visit. We/our dogs really appreciated the extensive walking trails and the fenced back yard. We unfortunately left a day early due to impending snow event, but gave some serious thought to asking for an extension to just hang for another few days alone, since our adult children had already left. We highly recommend; hosts Karen and George provided all information necessary and were very responsive, too.

George & Karen thought of everything. We arrived to a personally written welcome note & a box of treats from a local bakery. The home is spectacularly clean & beautifully decorated.

Absolutely perfect!!

I don't think I could say enough good things about our stay at this wonderful property! We were ready to move in after one weekend there! It had absolutely everything we needed. We will 100% be booking here again for future visits. Here is a rundown of how well this location fit our various needs: Grandma (80s): Especially because of mobility issues, she loved that everything she needed was located on the first floor. Other than entering and exiting or wanting to go out on to the LOVELY porch room, she was able to get around very easily on her own. It was also nice for her to have a bathroom to herself. Mom/Dad (50s): Our favorite room was the porch room. We had lovely spring/summer weather while we were there, but being able to turn on air and still have the outside light and views was wonderful. We also loved how stocked the kitchen was with items we could use to cook at home. The back patio with outdoor seating was a lovely surprise! We thought there was only a firepit area. Having BOTH was awesome. Daughter (20s): She loved having a space to herself upstairs AND a shower of her own. She appreciated that there was a fan waiting in that room for extra air movement. Dog: He loved having a backyard which was fenced in making it both safe and homey. He was very happy to be included in the trip and grateful he was accepted in the house :) He couldn't smell that any other guests had been there, because the house was so clean and sparkly! Awesome spot!
