Beautiful property. Great for a weekend with friends!

The property is beautiful and just what we needed. 6 of us stayed for the weekend and floated through Blue Springs Ranch just down the road. We’re thinking about turning it into an annual trip! The house had everything we could have needed!

Hideaway Haven!

Wonderful property to get away & relax. The pictures don’t do it justice. Boundless amenities-very clean-and decorated like it should be in a magazine! The hosts thought of everything from the inside out ! Swing on back porch overlooking the lake was brilliant! So comfortable & Cozy. We will be booking again ! Thank you for the gracious hospitality!!

Beautiful!

I can't say enought how amazing the property was. The cabin was gorgeous and so beautifully decorated! The view of the lake and the carezza was our favorite part! We enjoyed it so much. A relaxing mini vacation and perfect spot for a low key family weekend after my son spent his summer at Basic Training. We will definitely be back!

The perfect getaway

My family and I booked this property as a home base to float locally and it far exceeded our expectations. The home is perfect in every way. The attention to every little detail made our stay effortless as well. The outdoor swing, and multiple fireplace options were where we spent our time most. The huge yard area was perfect for playing catch, wiffleball, frisbee, or just hunting for lightning bugs. The pond onsite is such a relaxing view and our children had such a great time feeding the fish. We really made some great family memories and i am thankful to have been able to spend pur time here. The hosts are top notch m, incredibly responsive to questions and overall thoughtful. We are already planning next years stay!

Beautiful Chateau

I truly do not know where to begin. The amount of work put into this home is unreal. It’s not called “Jones Hidden Gem” for no reason. Truly a little slice of Heaven. Christie and Tracy were so good to us. We fished, explored the property, and spent A LOT of time enjoying the back patio. If you are looking to disconnect from the outside world, this is the place for you!

Dream living!

When we came across this listing we immediately booked! The pictures are beautiful but do not even do justice to how stunning this home truly is! Christie, the owner, was more than kind to us and made us feel at home! She was very easy to contact. The porch is GOALS, that's where we spent most of our time. Deer would get very close to us at night while feeding on the land, which made for lovely scenery! Our kids loved feeding the fish in the private lake. None of us wanted to leave. It was such an amazing vacation spot to call home for a few days. Definitely reccomend, steal of a price for such a quality stay! Beautiful decorating skills with more than enough amenities! Thanks so much Christie!

THE BEST VRBO EVER! & THE BEST HOSTESS EVER

Perfect. That is the only word that could describe this property and it’s hosts. I can’t think of anything a person could want that this property does not have. It seems like when I stay somewhere I always wish they had this or that. Not here!! They had EVERYTHING! The property was beautiful and tranquil. I met a group of friends here for a three night stay. They had corn hole boards for outside gaming. We had a fire in the outdoor fireplace. Sitting in the porch swing, looking at the lake while drinking morning coffee could not be beat. We also enjoyed small town USA be visiting the “Town Tavern” (yes-actual name). The hostess had fantastic communication and made sure we had anything we needed to enjoy our stay. I hope I get the opportunity to visit this property again!!

Dreaming of our return

The pictures of this home do not do it justice...it is much, much better, and it far exceeded our expectations! These were some of our favorite things: * Sitting on the porch looking out at the pond. * Reading a book and drinking coffee on the cozy swing. * Building a fire in the outdoor fireplace and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows while looking up at the stars. * Walking down to the pond and watching the fish and turtles; we appreciated the bucket of fish food provided by the hosts. * The large walk-in shower with the amazing shower heads, one being a hand-held option. * The gas fireplace inside was very relaxing. * The jug of natural spring water in the refrigerator was refreshing. If we have to list something that could be improved... * We could not find any tissues * We could not get the fire pit table to light. There are so many more things that we enjoyed about this property, and we fully intend on booking it again! Also - thank you for the delicious muffins!

*sigh of relief*

Aside from the relaxed and spacious location, the rental reaches as close to perfection as this Goldilocks has ever seen in her travels. I really felt welcomed here instead of an afterthought. There are so many little touches that you wouldn’t have thought would make such a difference. Here is a list of some of my favorite things: - Wireless phone chargers provided - Welcome muffins sourced from local bakery - Gas range - Comfy porch swing - Outdoor fire locations - Extra lush grass - Roomy shower - Actual closets for storage - Two bathrooms - Natural light from large windows - Indoor fireplace with options for actual heat or just an aesthetic flicker - Plush furniture, extra pillows and blankets everywhere - High ceilings to the loft - Brick facade in the bedroom added warmth to the ambiance - Little concrete bunnies outside, which seems like a weird thing to mention but something about them made me feel welcome - So very clean; the most important thing for any rental place I visit I could go on with things I loved about this place, but VRBO has a character limit. If I had anything to change (and these are absolutely *not* complaints), I would say: - Add hooks everywhere for hanging bags/clothes within sight - More usable countertop space, particularly in the bathroom - Remove the bulky wardrobe in the downstairs bedroom - A soaking tub. I know that’s a huge ask, but doesn’t hurt to mention :D I really can’t speak highly enough of this place. 10/10 will stay again.

Dreamy Set-up!

This property is amazing!! It is not just decorated beautifully, but all the little details have been thought out. You can cook or bake virtually anything you want with everything provided in the kitchen. Then take that to multiple eating areas outside with fans to keep you cool & the bugs away. Afterwards relax on the supersized swing with a view that belongs on a desktop background. This place was so wonderful we referred a friend before we had left.
