Great spring break!

My family of 6 had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful and incredibly clean. The doc was a huge hit as were all the fun games! The front yard was the perfect place for football and we loved the fire pit at night. We look forward to coming back!

Lake house, please!

This beautiful lake house is one of my favorite vrbo stays ever! Anna was very communitive and check-in was a breeze. I can't emphasize enough the beautiful setting of this home. Very quiet neighborhood and the home itself is gorgeous! Fishing off the dock in the backyard was an added bonus. We caught many, many bass. Our favorite restaurant was Mountain Goat Market which is very close to the house. We plan to visit again very soon!

We had a great stay. Super easy communication, instructions, etc. House has great layout for family and friends (it was just two of us this time but would be great with our teenagers). Very clean and well provisioned. We would definitely rent again. Thank you!

Perfect Getaway

The house is absolutely as advertised. Very nicely appointed with a beautiful lake view and lots of woods for running around. It was more than enough space for our family of 5 and could comfortably accommodate more with sleeping bags or air mattresses. A king size bed in the master is really the only thing that could have made our atay better but that is just peraonal preference. We have stayed in Cooley’s Rift in the past but never on the lake. Now we’ve been spoiled and only want to return to a house with a view of Lake Louisa. Thank you, Anna!
