Thank you so much for your wonderful review! So glad to hear that you guys enjoyed your stay! We loved having you and please come back and see us again soon! Wishing you all of the best! Amber & The Blue Roost!
We had the the best stay! The house had everything we needed and more! The kids played in the lake and had a blast, jumping off the dock. We brought our own lifejackets because we weren’t sure if there would be any and I’m glad we did. Check in with seamless and we really enjoyed the welcome basket and sample of drinks in the fridge. Thank you for a perfect stay!
Our family of 11 stayed comfortably at the Blue Roost. The host was great, the place was cute and clean and stocked. We really enjoyed it!
