The Lil Blue House was so cheerful and cozy. It is a wonderful get away with a nice outdoor space. The host was so understanding and answered all of my questions as a first time Vrbo renter. We were provided with everything we needed and more.

Wanted a fun weekend with our kids before heading back to college. The little blue house was a great little place to laugh, play games, enjoy a s’more by the fire, and rest. The house was close to our pontoon rental which was convenient.

She took our payment, lied and said she didn't receive it from VRBO, didn't refund us and then gave our days to someone else. All on the day before we were supposed to arrive. I called VRBO because she told me they had my payment and it was up to them, she lied. I do not recommend booking this home.
