Very clean and modern. Pool and hot tub was very clean good breakfast options.

The beautifully landscaped setting was pastoral, offering several areas to sit and enjoy the fountains, foliage and lake. The tastefully appointed suite had modern appliances and extras such as a fireplace and high end shower. There was even a cupboard with items for our dog, such as bowls and towels. Jodi, the host was very approachable and communicated promptly.

We arrived to what I would describe as a complete bait and switch. The pool was rotten. It was growing parasitic worms and mosquito larvae. Not just unusable, but outright gross. I should note it was also covered by a tarp what was pinned down with cement blocks. Incredibly unsafe for anyone who might have inadvertently fallen in. 100% a drowning hazard to leave a pool like that. And to top it off, there was a live extension cord sitting a foot away from the pool. Yikes.... The hot tub was half full and non-functional. It appears to have been dormant for months and the water simply evaporated out. The lawn hadn't been mowed in months either. An attempt had been made, but with only about 1/3 of the lawn mowed, grass clippings strewn about and the other 2/3 about a foot high it would be been better had the attempt not been made. The house itself was nice enough, however the grounds were a complete bait and switch. And given the property is marketed heavily based on the amenities this was false advertising. Our group arrived late on a Friday and had no option but to stay overnight, but we vacated the next day. Upon contact VRBO we've been getting the runaround. After three points of contact with VRBO, we get the same story "We're working on it..." and no resolution seems forthcoming. Do not book this property.
