When my wife and I take a vacation, we look for places that are clean, comfortable, are in an interesting location, and most importantly, away from the chaos of big crowds, tourist attractions and commercialism. This place certainly checks all of those boxes and more.
We've used VRBO for every vacation we've taken for over 10 years. Usually, we're happy with most aspects of the rentals but there's always something about them that doesn't quite meet our expectations. The view might be great, but the furniture isn't very comfortable. The location is perfect, but the hot tub is a let down, or the grill is a mess, or the air conditioning is not up to the task, etc... Nothing that ruins the stay, but always some little issue that takes the shine off of the property. Not so here. Everything about this property met or exceeded our expectations.
The owner met us on arrival and gave us a very thorough tour of the house and property, offered some tips on local activities and made us feel right at home. The property is simply beautiful, the house is very comfortable and the view of the reservoir is simply stunning. The pictures do not do it justice. The sunsets are epic, the night skies are incredible , the quiet is amazing. The hot tub is not huge, but perfect for two people. It's location on the rooftop deck offers the best view from a hot tub we've had. Within an hour of our arrival we were surprised to see several bald eagles gliding around overhead, and hummingbirds feeding in the garden.
As we travel with our dog, the choices for pet friendly rental properties are understandably smaller, and we get that we may have to compromise on some amenities to accommodate taking the dog along. Not here. I'm happy to say that the dog had a great time also!
This place provided us with one of, if not the best VRBO experiences we've had. Yeah, we'll be going back. Highly recommended for anyone that's looking for peace, quiet, and beautiful natural surroundings without giving up modern conveniences and comfort.
