Our expectations were exceeded upon arrival. The owners were present and greeted us with useful information. We were pleasantly surprised by numerous snacks, toiletries and other items that aren’t usually included at other VRBO rentals. The home served our needs and while we weren’t in town long enough to utilize the lake, we would definitely come back for a longer stay to enjoy the lake!

We had a great time staying here for the Barry Roubaix :) Not too far from Hastings. Best accommodation we had. It was a pleasure staying here, as it was catered to please the guest, and made you feel welcome and at home. It was well stocked and had extra goodies. The personal touches in each room with robes, slippers, and bottled water was very nice. The house was very clean and beautiful and everything was set up for the guest’s needs and comfort. Very spacious for guests of 10. Rob responds right away for any questions and concerns. Looking forward to come back here again. Rob, thank you for your awesome place.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house and all the amenities were exactly as listed, and Rob made it so easy to just show up and have a good time. Despite the colder weather, we were able to make good use of the large patio, fire pit, and golf cart (which was so handy for my physically limited FIL who wanted to go fishing). The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The bathrooms and bedrooms were also very clean and there were plenty of linens for our family of 6. We also appreciated the useful little extras like travel-sized toiletries and the fun bonuses like the oversized Jenga set.
