Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was the best VRBO my family and I have ever stayed at. The host was very communicative and even offered date-specific community event ideas. The view from the property was absolutely beautiful, and the area was very quiet. My family of 6 comfortably fit in the house, and we could have probably fit a couple more quite comfortably as well. If we end up heading back to Iowa, we will be trying to reserve this home again. STRONGLY recommend!
