Beautiful updated clean place inside and probably the best stocked place we have been to as far as amenities. Loved the private pond to fish in, which we caught crappie, bass, and bluegill. Host provided paddleboat which was awesome too. We did not meet the hosts as we were happy with the place as a whole. In the 40's couple nights during our stay, so tried fireplace but gas shut off to it since told, after we booked, seasonal. Also, did not bring own hair blowdryer and one provided didn't work which host appreciated knowing and would remedy that. Went to several restaurants and enjoyed the local area. Our stay was very peaceful and we loved the privacy. We went during harvest and they were combining next to us so was at times very dusty...understandable. Outside, typical seasonal bugs and dirt. Shocked however, after our stay, we were told strong cigarette smoke sensed and they would be checking into additional cleaning fees. We don't smoke. As veteran vrbo users, it is best to take pics of all or any damage when arriving as well, even the cigarette stain blemish on the tub. All said, it was what we were looking for on short notice and a beautiful getaway.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 October 2026
Thank you for your comments about the home and amenities. We would like to clarify a few points for future guests. The fireplace is listed as seasonal in our listing, so this was disclosed before booking, not something added afterward. With daytime temperatures around 80°F during their stay, it was not something that should have come as a surprise. Had we been notified that the hair dryer wasn’t working during their stay, we could have delivered a replacement immediately. A new hair dryer is now in the home. Regarding the cigarette smoke, we stand by what we reported.(we ended up not charging although 5 days after their departure it still smells faint of cigarette smoke) The odor was strong enough that we had to wash the shower curtain, unused towels, unused wash cloths, unused beach towels, and unused bath rugs as they had absorbed the smell. Multiple people independently confirmed the odor. We respect that the guests state they do not smoke, but the smoke odor was unmistakable and required extensive additional cleaning. There was no prior booking and the tub blemish mentioned was pre-existing and unrelated to this stay. We take the cleanliness of our home seriously and want future guests to know that concerns are addressed based on what we actually find.

Laid Back Getaway

My family had a weekend trip to the area for a wedding. This was our second time staying. We enjoy the little pond and porch swing. Having easy access to kitchen and open concept living room is great for kids.

We absolutely loved this property! From the pond with paddle boat and fishing, outdoor seating with fire pit, front porch swing, horses next door and nearby dogs that came to visit it was the most perfect setting. Kudo's to the owners! Hopefully we will have a reason to come back and visit some day!

Perfect Vacation

This property was absolutely perfect. The kids enjoyed the lake much time was spent fishing, swimming, and paddle boating. The adults enjoyed the porch and great country views. My inlaws were able to come have a cook out. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Marissa!

Much nicer than staying in a hotel!

Couple with an older Mother. Much easier than room cards, elevators, getting dressed to go out each time when something is needed. We appreciated that the house was like home.

Wonderful retreat

This property is a perfect getaway, we absolutely loved it. Our daughter spent hours in the peaceful pond and on the little beach, swimming or fishing. We loved sitting on the dock listening to the birds and watching the sunset and the stars at night. The hosts have thought of everything you may need inside and out. The home is decorated beautifully and the beds are so comfortable! We are definitely planning on a return trip soon!
