For the first time, my wife and I booked a trip with VRBO, and we were incredibly satisfied with our house, as well as our host. We loved that it is pet friendly! This was, as advertised, a lakefront house with many amenities including a hot tub, a fire pit, beautiful bedrooms (including towels and linens), a wonderful living room area, and an expansive kitchen. We also had a private dock on the lake, which was just a short walk down the driveway and across the street. The house was also within a ten minute (or less) drive of major restaurants and places of entertainment.
Just a couple of potential improvements: only one of the two televisions worked, and it was not the one in the living room, so standard TV watching was not available. Also, other people were using the pier over the weekend, so it wasn't fully ours.
But overall - we had a GREAT time at a GREAT house. We would definitely book with this host again.
