Best VRBO Experience Ever

The apartment was top notch. Decorated so lovely and had everything we needed. You never know what you are going to get on a first stay but this exceeded our expectations. Host Kim and Rainer were delightful! Going to make this a stay for each season for sure.

AMAZING Weekend at Lake Badin

5-stars aren't enough to express our satisfaction with our experience with Kim and Rainer. From the reservation through end of weekend, everything was first-class. The property was perfect, continental breakfast was remarkable, and boat tour was awesome. We arrived as renters and left as friends. Would highly recommend and expect to be back again. As someone who travels frequently, I found this property exceeding several of the 5-star experiences on the road. Well done...Kim and Rainer!

The Truth!

I am that person who reads all the reviews both good and bad. I depend on them because I want to know the truth about the properties. So here goes: Kimberly was very responsive and accommodating, Ranier was super nice. Check in was easy, clear instructions, the property is beautiful, it is SPOTLESS, bed is comfy, bed linen was very nice, the description on posting is exact. The cakes she made was delicious and she has equipped the entire apartment with everything you need. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED if you are looking for a quiet low key break from the hustle and bustle.

Absolutely Incredible!!

This was, by far, the best place we have ever stayed (and we have stayed at a lot)! Kim and Rainer are incredible hosts. We had the privilege of meeting them but we had complete privacy in the apartment, the dock and the lake. The apartment is beautifully decorated and immaculate. We had everything we needed and Kim had provided so many special touches (homemade cinnamon crumb cake, orange juice, coffee, tea, condiments, fully stocked kitchen, towels for the lake, and so much more). We swam in the lake, and almost used the kayaks but a pop up thunderstorm hit us. We had the most special dinner served to us at the lake, prepared by Kim (a gourmet chef) with a little help from Rainer. :) It was the most magical moment and the food was absolutely incredible- the best bread I have ever had, the salad and the dressing was mouthwatering and we had chicken piccata which was also amazing. We also chose her delicious dessert. Words cannot describe what a wonderful time we had and we cannot wait to go back!
