We never had any contact with the host. We only talked with Vacassa. I do not care for not have a local contact. We did have a few issues, and it was not as easy to get assistance. However, the property was great.

The property was immaculate and we immediately felt at home. Never stayed in a home as well stocked up as this. Very peaceful setting with a deck and seating down by the lake for reading as well as one attached to the house for morning coffee. Several excellent restaurants just a few minutes away. Looking forward to staying here again.
