Our stay at Camp LaVie was absolutely amazing! We were traveling for a baseball tournament with a group of 6 kids and 2 adults, and the experience couldn’t have been better.The accommodations were wonderful, but what truly made our stay special was Pam. On our second day, we had the unexpected misfortune of getting a flat tire. I reached out to Pam for help, and she immediately responded with a phone call, offering assistance and making sure we were taken care of. Her kindness, compassion, and willingness to help went above and beyond anything we expected.It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and Pam made us feel truly welcome and supported. We are so grateful for her help and for the wonderful experience we had at Camp LaVie. We highly recommend staying here and would gladly return in the future!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review! I’m so happy to hear that you all enjoyed your stay and that the home worked well for your baseball tournament trip.
I’m especially glad I could help during the unexpected flat tire situation. Traveling with a group can already be stressful, so I wanted to make sure you felt supported and taken care of while you were here. Your kind words about my hospitality genuinely mean so much to me.
Thank you again for choosing Camp LaVie and for taking the time to share your experience. Wishing the team continued success and safe travels ahead!

We’re sorry this guest felt this way, as we strive to be responsive, fair, and accommodating to all guests. Prior to arrival, the guest requested an early check-in, which unfortunately could not be accommodated due to turnover timing between reservations. After check-in, no concerns were communicated to us during the stay, nor were we given the opportunity to address or resolve any issues directly.
We encourage all future guests to review our many past reviews to get a well-rounded and accurate picture of the experience we provide. We take pride in our hospitality, communication, and the care we put into our properties, and we believe our long history of positive guest experiences speaks for itself.
Perfect, remote, quiet getaway. We were able to unplug and relax
