One of the best VRBO experiences! Such a beautiful home and area. Right by Lake Shawnee and great for hosting a group! Would recommend to anyone and will be back!
The house was even more beautiful in person and had more sleeping spots than we needed, even for a group of 18! It was spotless, located in a nice area, and had a good energy about it, we especially loved the wooded area of the back deck. I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone.
