Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Everything was great, Ranch was private and very nice, the only slightly confusing part was the check in communication. I'm used to everything being on VRBO, but after booking the property I received a separate email that I was not aware was coming, with the rental agreement. Lots of info that was not on VRBO when I booked. No problem. Then I got my check in instructions from a different email than the one that sent me the rental agreement. The check in instructions did not include the door code, that came from another set of instructions via text. Anyways, everything else was great. If they could simplify the check in process and put all the preliminary information on VRBO that would make it easier, but it was still a great place. ##### William H.
