Summary: This was one of the best VRBO rentals we have experienced. The home was clean and bright, and very user-friendly, based upon both the plethora of charming notes/instructions through the home as well as the hostess's timely communication and assistance with questions. Love the amenities at the lake, the beautiful and spacious deck, and overall charm of the home. Thanks for making our time in the area so comfortable!
