Jose’s house was the perfect weekend getaway. Plenty of space, a beautiful view of the lake, and a home-y vibe that avoided the vacation feel. Just a fabulous spot to kick back and hang out with friends. Jose was also very responsive and helpful. Furthermore, the house had cleaning products and necessities which reduced the load we had to bring. Would visit again!

Property was beautiful. The time was cut short when the air conditioning broke down and 3 of the bedrooms were not able to be occupied. I expect to be reimbursed for cutting our vacation by 2 days when everyone left due to lack of AC on such hot days in the 90's.Thank you

We had such a fantastic few days back in the community of our childhood summers. The house is set high above the lake with clear Mountain views. We cooked in the kitchen and at the end of the day retreated to the second floor living room. Each floor has beautiful electric fireplaces, adding to the overall cozy vibe of the stay There’s a lot of stairs and levels so keep that in mind. We got our steps in both inside and out! Beautiful place to walk the friendly neighborhood streets and breathe in fresh air.

Beautiful lakefront property

We stayed at this VRBO due to the fact of the large amount of people that could stay at the property we were in town for work. There were nine of us. The property was able to accommodate all of us comfortably. The views are amazing the lakefront. The property is nice and clean and the amenities were a plus I would recommend this place to everyone.

Weekend away

It was a perfect house and town for me and my 8 friends to stay. We all had room, were able to work remotely on Friday and we had perfect weather. My only note is that we had planned on using the grill one of the nights but only realized when we got there that it was not set up. We also had wanted to us the canoe but could not seem to find the oars. All in all it was an incredible weekend at a beautiful home and we will DEFINITLEY be back!

Pleasant stay at Lake House

Flew from California to our son’s wedding and rented this property for three nights. The house is perfect for a family of 8-10 if you don’t mind sharing bunk beds. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and share a nice meal with the whole family. The property has nice amenities, however we were so busy with wedding that could not enjoy them,

Beautiful home located right on Greenwood Lake. Home was absolutely perfect for our little family gathering. Warm, inviting, comfortable. It was even decorated with holiday trimmings. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, appliances, etc. Plenty of extra linens, if needed. Host was easy to reach with questions and was very accommodating to my additional requests. Highly recommend!!!

Family House on the Lake

Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The house was immaculate and well equipped for anything you could possibly need with varied spaces that invited spending time together or finding quiet, alone time. While the weather didn't cooperate so that we could enjoy the outdoor spaces at the firepit ot the outdoor kitchen, the hot tub was a nice respite after the Spartan Race. Our host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. His expectations were minimal and easy to meet. The views of the lake...the ducks, geese, and playful otters... and surrounding mountains provided a relaxing atmosphere...one that we hope to experience again.

Peace on the lake

The entire process couldn’t have been easier. Jose is such a thoughtful host as the house is so well appointed. We forgot to bring coffee, but no worries. He had coffee there. The kitchen is fully stocked and the best part for me was not having to pack our own linens. Such a pleasure to not pack bulky towels, blankets and sheets. The house is also well located with boat rentals, wineries, etc nearby. We can’t wait to return.

Thanksgiving on at the LakeHouse

The house was perfect for what we needed. All the kitchen utensils and equipment needed to prepare thanksgiving dinner were available. The views of the lake from the multilevel home were amazing. The house is equipped with indoor and outdoor fireplaces which we used outside near the lake. Even though it was chilly we took advantage of the hot tub and fireplaces. The main kitchen level does have a lower ceiling in the laundry and half bath which wasn’t an issue but thought it was important to mention for guests taller than 6’5+.
