This house and property is amazing! I have never stayed at a VRBO with the care, amenities and attention to detail that this property provided. The hosts’ communication with us during our stay, as well as prior to our arrival, was second to none. The home accommodated all of our needs and then some, as well as providing comfort and a welcoming environment. We had all of the comforts of being at home while enjoying our getaway. After a long day at Canton Trade Days and being in the sun all day, it was such a treat to relax and get refreshed in the pool while also enjoying the beautiful landscape surrounding the home. When we return to Canton, we will definitely plan our dates around the availability of this incredible property! Thank you to our hosts for everything! Wendy C.
We stay at Country Charmer 2 to 3 times a year when visiting family. Love our morning coffee on the porch and dinners on the back deck. Swimming makes it even more fun. Lots of games, toys and an upstairs play area for grandkids. Very comfortable. Highly recommend.
I stayed here with a group of ladies for Canton First Monday Trade Days. It was an excellent property! The property was extremely clean, had everything you could need, and the hosts were extremely helpful and responsive! There are lots of bedrooms and bathrooms which make an excellent place for a group. We really enjoyed the hot tub each evening after a long day of shopping!
Great place to stay!! The house was very clean and the scenery was gorgeous. Lots of shopping and eating was done! We would definitely stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property!! Bob was such a gracious host and willing to do anything needed to make our stay enjoyable! The home is beautiful and the backyard is such a great place to sit and enjoy the calmness of the country. We can’t wait to come back for another visit!
We spent the 4th of July holiday with two families and three children. This is a great location and a beautiful property with many amenities. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a peaceful getaway in the country. Bob was great and also helpful with any questions we had during our stay.
The Reese home was booked for a group of eight older ladies who were good friends and cancer survivors. I cannot express how perfect this home was. They had a fantastic time in a beautiful home with so many amenities.
Bob is a wonderful host!
I will book this again for the group!
Our group of 11 girlfriends have been coming to Canton for 12 years to shop first Monday. Once we found this beautiful home for our getaway we wouldn’t choose anywhere else for our getaway. The home is always very clean and organized. There is plenty of room for all of us to sleep very comfortably. The coffee bar is one of our favorite amenities. Thanh you again for having us!
My family and I loved this property. It's amazing how cozy and comfortable the property is while not being overly cluttered with belongings. We had two boys (ages 10 and 13), my in- laws (in their 70s) and my husband. We all enjoyed the property and felt at home. There are so many sitting areas to help us unwind. It is truly a lovely family home and the property manager ensured we had all of the amenities necessary to make this an enjoyable stay. The property manager created a thorough video that helped us get familiar with the property prior to our travel. The pool and spa was just the right size and we enjoyed it.
Our entire group of nine adults and six children and infants immensely enjoyed our Family Vacation staying at this Beautiful Family Friendly Vacation Home. It was very cozy and accommodating. The children were well protected with baby gates inside as well as outdoors. The swim spa, playground, and nature trails were their favorites. We all enjoyed the FirePit equipped with s’more sticks. All of our family enjoyed meals together and game nights around the big tables inside and out on the porch. We also enjoyed morning coffee on the swing and in the rocking chairs on the covered front porch. There were so many beautiful flowers and trees and the hummingbirds were plentiful. Thank you Bob and Connie for sharing your home. It’s Beautiful!
Nice stay in Canton, to isolate and distance yourself
We wanted to meet as a family, but did not want to worry about being around others, during this Covid pandemic. There were 12 of us adults and children. The children had a blast playing in the pool, daily. The adults really enjoyed being comfortable and staying put for the entirety of our stay. We would take morning walks around the neighborhood and never saw one car on the road. It was so peaceful. The only issue we had was trying to find room for all of our food for a week stay. You do not get the entire refrigerator or pantry for your stay, but we made it work. Everything else in the kitchen is there for you, to make meal preparation easy work. The owner stays in contact with you often, to ensure everything is to your liking. These owners will go the extra mile to try to ensure you have everything you need, just the way you like it.
We stayed at the Reese’s house for a four day weekend to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. Every year we have been married I have tried to create the best birthday possible for her as birthdays were hard for her when she was a child and I want her to feel as special as she makes every one around her feel. Our stay at the Reese’s was one of the simpler things we have done over the years, but she came away firmly touting this as her best birthday ever.
I was pretty hesitant to spend the amount of money listed on VRBO for four days in a house with just our family and a few visiting friends. I saw all the amazing pictures and amenities, but I couldn’t tell from the pictures how perfect this place would be. From the luxurious gourmet kitchen to the extremely comfortable beds to the really well stocked coffee bar and multiple huge dining room tables, this place had it all! The outdoor space was everything you could ask for as well. The spa pool and hot tub were exactly as shown and described and our kids could hardly stay out of it. There was also a great playground and multiple walking trails in the woods that the kids loved. The outdoor area was very kid friendly as they had gates with locks and keys stored in high places to keep kids from wandering around where they shouldn’t be. We adults thoroughly enjoyed the ample outdoor seating and beautiful views on the back and front porch, and we definitely didn’t let the kids have all the fun with the spa either.
This is an amazing house and we could not have been more pleased with the experience. There are photos of the Reese’s large family everywhere and the love in those pictures and throughout the home is palpable. The Reese’s were also great about communicating with us on everything from pre-arrival info to check in to prompt responses on any questions we had. If you read this review and any of the other reviews here, it should be evident that this place is uniquely special and very much worth a stay. We feel so blessed to have spent a long weekend in the Reese’s Homeplace as it was the best home away from home we ever could’ve asked for. Thanks again Mr and Mrs Reese!
The house was lovely, and everyone in our group had a bed to sleep in. The beds were all very comfortable and everyone slept very well. It is very quiet and peaceful. The location is perfect if you plan to go to the Trade Days; it's only about a 15-minute drive.The home had everything that we needed. Several people in our group took advantage of the hot tub. It is not a huge hot tub, but there was enough room for two or three adults at a time.The generator worked perfectly, and we were never without power during the storm that came through.Please be aware that there is an additional cost for insurance at the time of booking. This is not part of the listed on the VRBO initial page. It is reasonable, but something to be aware of if you are dividing the cost.
When we come to Texas to see family this is where we stay. Upon arrival everything is set to bring you into a beautiful home in the country filled with peace and caring. The Reese’s go out of their way to meet your needs throughout your stay. The pool spa is a relaxing benefit, plus coffee in the mornings on their front porch. During warm nights we eat on the back deck at the picnic table all while listening to birds and lights lit for a perfect setting.
Staying at the Country Charmer is an experience of comfort, fun, and relaxation. We come in town to visit our family with little grandchildren and this home makes us feel like our home. From the spa pool, toys, and play area for the kids, a kitchen that has everything I need to cook meals, endless tables inside and out for family gatherings, and every morning coffee on the front porch, our needs are more than met and then some. Bob and Connie Reese are the perfect hosts of their lovely home.
This home is so lovely. Literally has everything you could possibly need and a lot of room. This is the second year in a row we have spent our girls trip here and will most definitely be back. The owners are amazing and make sure you have everything you need
This country home was perfect for our two week stay visiting family. The pool and hot tub were a big plus for us and the grand kids. The Reese’s had thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. The kitchen had everything we needed to have family dinners once we bought the food. Every morning we had coffee on their front porch. It is very quiet and peaceful. Nestled in country roads but only ten minutes from Walmart and shopping. Highly recommend.
This VRBO is AMAZING! Our family of 16 (8 adults and 8 kids) had the best time! Everyone loved the outside trails, the heated spa/pool, the two large porches, the large beautiful yard with deck and fire pit, the open living room/dining room with two large dining tables, so we could enjoy our meals together. All the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. We stayed three days and two nights. At the end of our stay, we wish we had booked more days because we didn’t want to leave this beautiful serene property. The owners are great and very accommodating. We will definitely book this fabulous place again!
