The outdoor table was used the whole trip. We ate out there every meal. We used the hot tub MANY times (a huge selling point for us when we were booking). The entire home was clean. All linens were nice and clean as well. It was one of the most stocked homes I’ve ever rented (tons of kitchen necessities, ziplocks, laundry detergent, etc.). It was a good location as far as proximity to wineries, lakes, etc! Communication with the host was great as well. We’d definitely stay here again, and recommend it as well. ##### Kayla W.

You can't go wrong My family enjoyed a four day stay at this clean, comfortable home We enjoyed and utilized the well equipped kitchen as well as the top of line grill for our cook outs. Many of our meals were enjoyed on the nice deck before the family took advantage of the large family size hot tub. My two grandkids loved the yard and the nice walk to the lake behind the house and the near by trails. Bob, our host was most helpful, he even provided us with some mushroom to go with the steaks enjoying grilling. He let us go into the house before 4 pm after we arrived early which was greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a nice quiet place for a family outing you will not do better than this lovely home. Thanks again Bob for a great experience!!! ##### David A.

This is definitely a 5 star property. The outdoor space filled all of our needs. The outdoor furniture, hot tub and gas grill were exceptionally clean. Firewood was also provided. The home itself was amazing. Traveling with four teenagers we appreciated its size which allowed everyone their own space. The kitchen was well equipped and had an amazing set of cookware. A more than ample amount of towels and linens were provided, even extra blankets for getting cozy and watching movies. The cleanliness of the home was very impressive. The only regret that we had with this home was that we didn’t book a longer stay. Thank you Bob for making our stay so enjoyable. ##### Brenda O.

Very friendly host, plenty of space (4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, lots of space for eating together). The outside area is just as great with deck, patio table, hot tub, fire pit and gas grill. We had deer visiting every morning and night! If relaxation is what you are looking for, book this home! ##### Jenny J.
