If there were more stars to give I would. Top notch, great experience, exactly what we were looking for. Host is amazing.. couldn’t ask for a better one!
Perfect get- away. Peaceful, quiet, clean and comfortable. Vicki thought of everything you could possibly need! Definitely will plan on staying here when we return to the area. Thank you!
The house is very clean with a lot of amenities! We didn’t get to spend much time there but sure enjoyed it when we came back to relax and go to bed. Nice and cool and very comfortable. Beds are great and the bathrooms are outfitted with many skin care items.
Really enjoyed our time at the property. Plenty of space for the family and very clean and well taken care of. Short drive to Mark Twain Lake for a fun time there too.
This is our third year staying here and it was wonderful, as always. They've even made some lovely improvements to the property. Looking forward to next year.
We had a wonderful stay! My only regret was we didn’t book a longer stay! My parents joined my husband and I and we all were very comfortable and content. I’d love to come back and stay again some day.
The house was great! Very clean with a welcoming home like atmosphere. Vicki has thought of lots of little details, like having beach towels, so just bring your swimsuits. Roasting forks, so just bring the marshmallows. I definitely would rent this house again and highly recommend it as a great place to stay when you are in the area!
Beautiful scenery calm and quiet with surrounding sounds of nature. Some great fishing, a place to swim. Way more appliances and utensils then expected. Definitely a 10/10 and will visit there again!
