The lake was beautiful and it’s very peaceful out there! The house was very clean…the only areas that were not was the pollen on the decks but mostly on the deck and chairs at the back bedroom…everything else was wonderful! Dustin was easily accessible when I sent messages through the app! I would highly recommend this location/house for any family gathering!!
The host was great in communicating with me. House was wonderful!! You never have to leave, it has everything!! We will be back for sure! Pictures don't do the house justice!!

Thank you so much for your stay! We would love to host your crew again!
The view of the lake was beautiful! The rooms were so comfortable and the kitchen was great! The whole place was so nice and there was a peacefulness that we really appreciated for our first family gathering in several years. We prepared all of our meals there and just enjoyed being together in such a beautiful place. The owner is so easy to work with and we hope to go back again in the near future.

We would love to have you back in the future! Thank you for being such a wonderful guest!
This home and location exceeded our expectations! It was even better than we imagined. Our family had the most amazing trip and created so many wonderful memories together. Everything was comfortable, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for a relaxing getaway. We truly didn’t want to leave—and we’ll definitely be back!
Family of 15 members of all ages from 4 to 74 had a wonderful time. The house was extremely well equipped and there was very little we did not have! The dock is well supplied with a canoe and kayaks and we did rent paddleboards from the owner and the kids had a ball. We loved it!
Very well laid out for multi-generational family. Basement game room and ping pong were well used. Could use additional spoons and some folding chairs in main level so that did not need to pull seats in from living room or porch to sit more than 8 at the table.

Sorry for the lack of communication during your stay but there is a folding table in the kitchen and then 6 folding chairs in the closet on the main level for more seating. Our apologies if we missed this communication of this need during your stay!
Jason! Thank you for taking the time to respond, and thank you for the kind words. You guys get back to one of our properties sooner than later; you are appreciated!
Wonderful place for graduation weekend with family!
We were able to have all our families come in from NY, WA, OH and CO and stay while we had two graduate fro Liberty. The house had plenty of room, lots of fun games and being on the lake was wonderful.
Thank you!

Thank you for your stay! Hope to have you all return!
Beautiful home with a plethora of space and amenities. Didn’t get to indulge in using the outdoor equipment due to graduation schedule but maybe next time. The kids (and adults) definitely enjoyed the game floor. Excellent communication with host.

About the host
Hosted by Dustin
We love playing a part in bringing families together. We also really have a passion for creating an awesome experience for those that give us a chance to host. Our family...we are about as laid-back as it gets, and we spend much of our time laughing, speaking sarcasm, and being active. In terms of being good hosts, we are always open to suggestions. Truly, we have acted on so many sweet suggestions from guests, and it has helped us tremendously. We are grateful.
I'm Dustin, your primary contact! I live in Richmond, VA, I play doctor for a fantastic company based out of Denver, and I root for several terrible sports teams. Can't wait to connect and see how we can make your stay a lasting memory!
