A Real Dream Home!

Donna and her Mid Century Lake House were absolutely incredible! Elegantly furnished, yet comfortable and spacious, it felt like a true dream home, & was a fantastic NYE venue to host our themed murder mystery dinner for friends traveling in. Donna was friendly, flexible, & communicative. To top off, you can't miss the spectacular views of the lake especially at sunset and sunrise! Perfection! Thank you, Donna, for sharing your incredible lake home with us and allowing us to close out 2024 in such a magnificent place! We will definitely be back!

Fabulous!

Donna's home is absolutely gorgeous! She was a wonderful and communicative host. We had a blast! Would definitely stay again. It has anything you would need. We were blown away at the beauty of this place. Everyone had something to do at our celebration with the game house, the lake and the pool. The pool was perfect and the lights were a bonus at night. People wanted the info to stay there later. Didnt want to leave.

Family vacation

We absolutely loved this property! The home is large and gorgeous. The walk-in pantry had everything we needed. We loved that the pool had a deep end (6') and plenty of nice beach towels. In fact, we were never short on towels. We used the kayaks and canoe every day. We caught fish each day, but we threw them back. Our grandkids (ages 6-14) were outside all day - from early morning fishing to evening swims. They loved the game room, but it was too hot for us adults. Everyone slept well-beds and pillows are amazing. We loved this place so much that I booked it for next year already! Donna is great to work with as well! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!!

A Glorious Week

Enjoyed the week here with my kids and grandkids. Such a beautiful place with so much to do. There is no need to leave. We swam in the pool, kayaked with kayaks provided, explored the beautiful grounds and amused ourselves with the closet of games. The host was extremely responsive when we needed to call. We would definitely stay here again.

Unique house/great location

Can't say enough good about this place. Stunning grounds, very quiet. Our grandkids ages 8-14 enjoyed fishing, swimming and kayaking. They were never bored. Large selection of movies for evening entertainment. Plenty of room for all 12 of us. The only down side is some of the furnishings a bit worn. House could use a good airing out. Ran into some dishes that got put away dirty. Owner is very quick to reply to all questions. Had lots of recommendations for restaurants and ice cream. Only down

Long House - Union Mo

The property was outstanding as advertised with great views; direct access to a fairly large "pond"/"lake" and swimming pool. The pool could use a handrail on the steps as the last step in and first step out is taller than normal and difficult for "older people" to get out of the pool. The owner was gracious; responded quickly to very minor calls for questions. The onlh drawback is the house is not HC friendly with steps up or down into virtually every room. Franky, it shows on the pictures but I did not scrutinize it sufficientluy to understand that. All in all, I would recommend the Long House with 4+ stars for groups of friends (5 BR) or a family.

Most Amazing Stay & Experience I've Ever Had on VRBO

As soon as you turn down the driveway, it feels like you're driving to a winery. Instead you pull up to this gorgeous property. You have to stop to just to take it all in. The lake, the home, the grounds, the overall setting is stunning. It feels like you're in a whole other world. I threw a surprise 40th birthday party & had about 30 guests attend. There was more than enough space throughout the manor as well as multiple places for people to mingle & sit outside & take in the beauty of it all. My fiance & I, plus 2 other couples stayed Friday & Saturday but several others could have stayed in the manor or RV on the grounds & nobody would feel on top each other. Every single person who attended the party was amazed at the space & beauty of all that it entailed & had rave reviews. Several couples ended up getting the VRBO information and said they will be booking this place for events & just a weekend getaway. The band said in all their years, they've never played in a space that gorgeous. I found a hidden gem by accident & will be making this an annual event to spend w/friends & family, & I'm telling everyone about the experience we had. Donna was amazing.I asked if I could take a look at the property before the party so I could get ideas for band placement, where the bartender would be setup, etc.& Donna graciously abided. Amazing memories were made. Thank you Donna for opening up your home for so many others to enjoy. Hands down, greatest experience ever. EPIC!

Family Getaway

First annual family vacation to celebrate parents wedding anniversary. Siblings travelled in from 3 different states. Listing included incorrect access and Wi-Fi code but was quickly remedied after contacting host. Wifi and cell service are spotty in the area (great if you’re trying to disconnect, not so great if you need to get some work done). It was great to have the pool and pond- kids and adults enjoyed swimming, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Bedrooms are small (aside from the master) which made it a bit challenging for those of us with young kids. Otherwise there were mattresses available to put in other living area for the older kids. Loved having the laundry available, only had one load to do when I got home! Lots of other amenities included. The kitchen is small which created some difficulty cooking for a large group. There is plenty of dining area and also outdoor seating- wear bug spray! If our family is able to get everybody together again next year we would definitely consider this place. Thanks Donna!

60 th birthday family get together

As advertised, the property is well located, beautiful views, peaceful and quiet. The owner, Donna responded very quickly to our questions and made the check in process very easy. She even offered us to use the game room for free as a birthday present. She seemed very nice, even though we did not meet her. However, When we arrived, the dishwasher was fully loaded with dishes that had grown mold on them. I tried to turn it on, but it was not working. I texted Donna and she told me that it should be working. She sent instructions, but it still did not work. We gave up. There were also spiders and dead bugs in the house and under the beds. I suspect we were the first renters of the year. As soon as we arrived, we had to hose the boats down and we had to beat the outdoor cushions for bugs and dust. Otherwise the house is well equipped, even though outdated. There was a lack of curtains in the bedrooms, but we invested in a few sleep masks and made it work. I usually do not give reviews, but I was very disappointed with the work we had to do as soon as we arrived to make the place look clean before the rest of the family showed up. I will admit though that after the initial workload, we did enjoy our stay: we fished, saw turtles, hiked, swam, kayaked and canoed...the connection with nature is amazing and we really enjoyed it. Even though the yard and landscaping are beautiful, I feel our stay could have been better, if we had not felt that initial disappointment

Relaxing and beautiful

I can’t express enough how much we enjoyed our stay. It was quiet, tranquil, and sitting and watching the geese fly over the private lake was exactly what we were looking for. Add to that we caught lots of fish in the private lake. Donna was perhaps the best host that we’ve ever experienced on VRBO and we have been renting for many years. She was incredibly responsive and caring. The house was beautiful and well equipped. Without a doubt we would go back, but perhaps during the summer months when all the trees are in full bloom.

Fabulous. Simply fabulous. I do wish the pool heater had been working, but everything else was great. Fantastic setting, generous, well equipped kitchen, IN-TUNE piano, lots of room to dance, sing and party inside, and out! We had a caterer bring out dinner, and after a LATE night, clean up was a breeze. Can't wait for a reason to go back!!

Peaceful Paradise

I try to hit on things I look for in a review. Donna is a wonderful property owner. She communicates in a timely fashion and is very kind. We couldn’t get the grill to work and they came right out to help. The view is the best part by far. I could sit out there for hours/days. The lake and the pool are spectacular!!! We had so much fun in the pool with a lake view. Our dog enjoyed exploring the property and going on hikes. The access to kayaks and a paddle boat are a great touch. The views from both master bedrooms are amazing. There is not a shower (a tub only) on the lower level so just be sure and pay attention to the lay out, if renting with others. There are two showers upstairs. The water pressure was good so great showers and no issues w flushing. The house has a unique feel and design which was fun. It’s older so don’t expect everything to be brand new. It’s lived in but honestly that’s part of the charm and less stressful in a way so you aren’t worried about messing something up the whole time. Access to cable tv (directv) downstairs and in the bedrooms was nice. The AC works well which is important since we do have some hot summers. The beds were super comfy. Beach towels and bath towels were provided. A water cooler was also in the kitchen since the fridge doesn’t have a water dispenser. Even when it rained and we couldn’t swim the views from inside looking out were peaceful, relaxing, & enjoyable. This is a place you want to share with others. I can’t say enough about our experience. It’s very private and you feel like you are in your own little paradise. We do hope to go back! Honestly the VRBO pictures don’t do the outside justice. You must see this for yourself!

About the host

Hosted by Donna Long

I started out at 15 being a hostess at a restaurant, for college I attended a travel academy, soon after had 2 beautiful bright children, ran a mechanical contracting company with my husband for 24 years, married 26 years to be widowed at a early age, and now once again a hostess to my own properties that I share with Wonderful Vacationers from all over the world:-)

Why they chose this property

This property is the home where my husband and I raised our children, when they grew up and moved out, I saw that we were not here as much and it's soooo beautiful to leave unattended, so I asked my husband if he would mind if we shared it with others. He agreed and the first year the response was soooo good that after I lost my husband, it's what kept me going:-) Everyone that stays here loves it, and many return year after year!!!

What makes this property unique

As soon as your drive down the driveway between the manicured fields to the woods by the lake and then approach the home, you feel a sense of calmness. When you enter the foyer into the great room you then receive the WOW factor and the view is absolutely fabulous! Different words everyday can describe the view and the feeling, well, it's sometimes indescribable!! I look forward to providing this accommodation that you will long remember:-)
