Everything was simply wonderful at Runabout Lakefront! What a treat to be ON the lake with your own private dock. The house was spotless...really clean!...and the decor was that charming "classic lake house" vibe: cozy and intimate. The gas fireplace was easy to use --perfect in the mornings and evenings. Staying here was a dream come true! One other note that I'd like to mention; I've stayed in several VRBO houses where it looked like someone made a mad dash through a thrift store, grabbing a random assortment of mismatched silverware to toss in a kitchen drawer. (Yes...really.) But NOT here! WOW! I opened their drawer and discovered a gleaming new complete set of matching silverware. YES!!! If you're planning a special celebration (family reunion, Thanksgiving, etc.) it's really important to be able to set a nice table. This attention to detail is emblematic of how everything in this house is top notch. I'm looking forward to coming back again. Thank you, Runabout Owners, for taking such good care of your house and sharing it with us.

This home was perfect
From the moment I pulled in the drive I knew we’d made a good decision to stay at the Run-About. Truly and outstanding property. It was hands down the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in.
The views and sounds from the deck are so much better than the pictures can convey. Outstanding home!
