Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home Away From Home This home is exactly what our hearts needed during our stay. We visited due to a family member in Hospice and I specifically booked it so my family could come “home” daily. The lake gave us a little piece of Hawaii in the mainland. It’s equipped with everything you need. Pictures are exactly what you get and here’s the best part for me, as a cleaner myself and property manager in Hawaii for over 20 years, I’m not easy to impress and I was EXTREMELY impressed with how clean the home was upon arrival. We ran into an issue the second night we were there and the home owners were there immediately to address our issue. This stay has definitely left an imprint in our hearts and we hope to be back again someday. Mahalo for going above and beyond!! ##### Jaclyne W.
