Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommended!We had a wonderful time during our stay! Everything was exactly as described, if not better.The check-in process was seamless, making our arrival completely stress-free. The property itself was spotlessly clean and located in a lovely, quiet area that offered the perfect amount of seclusion for a relaxing getaway.We especially loved the thoughtful amenities that made our trip so much fun. Spending time by the koi pond was incredibly peaceful, and we got plenty of use out of the pool table and the hot tub in the evenings.Our host was fantastic—highly responsive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel right at home. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a private, well-appointed retreat

My friends and I enjoyed our stay here! While it is out of the city, there is another VRBO on the same property and the host lives on the property as well. However, we did still feel as though we had enough privacy. The hot tub was a lovely amenity that we enjoyed every night of our stay! Feeding the koi fish in the pond was also fun. We had a good time watching movies, playing darts, and shooting pool was another favorite activity of ours. The only complaint really is that there's no stove top for cooking. There is an electric cooking pan, but you can only cook one thing at a time. We were able to make it work. We would stay here again in the future!

When I booked this place I thought there would be 4 of us, but my son and grandkids decided to tent camp at the lake and that was fine because it turns out that Mark’s place was just what I needed! It was so quiet, peaceful and all the things that I love! As I told Mark, I have 2 jobs and because of my work in rescue I have 9 cats (1 who is partially blind and takes daily medications for seizures) AND 2 dogs (one being a golden retriever so she’s just as needy as the blind cat ) My life is very chaotic and I just needed a break from everything. First of all I want to say how comfortable that bed was!!! I haven’t slept all night long in a year or more! I loved getting up early to the sound of a rooster nearby and taking my coffee to the koi pond, they loved it also since I brought them bread for breakfast. Most days I did nothing but enjoy the quiet and simple beauty of the place. I loved that it wasn’t far from town so I could go pick up some groceries rather than eating out. I found everything I needed in the kitchen except a knife for cutting a melon no worries tho I had lots of camping stuff in the car including a steak knife that worked perfectly. Obviously it goes without saying that I adored pretty boy Quinn who came to visit me and because I had read through some of the reviews and saw there were cats on the property, I made sure I packed cat treats. Mark was super to work with and I will definitely be back, probably sooner than later

This property is a hidden gem

I stayed 2 nights for a quiet get away with plans to explore Smithville lake. I was blown away by all the amenities this rental offered for such an affordable price. I enjoyed watching the sunset by the koi pond, relaxing in the hot tub and the overall peace and quiet such a remote location offered. Explored the trails around the lake on foot and also on an electric bike the host has available. Played pool and darts and took advantage of all the extras this property offers. I enjoyed my stay tremendously and will definitely be back.

Cool place with a lot of potential

Birthday short getaway close to home. However I think we have different definitions of private and seclusion. The host appears to live above the rental while he was working on the property in the afternoon and introduced himself we could hear him walking around upstairs in evening. The hot tub is right under a window. Not private. Also didn’t notice the kitchen has no stove or oven. Air fryer was there but no pans foil or way to cook anything other than grill on the far side of building. Overall a nice one night stay planned to cook breakfast but went to local diner Captains corner which would recommend.

The place is advertised as private and secluded but it’s not. It’s listed as a house in the advertising but you have a lower apartment. Not a huge deal but it felt like it was misadvertised.The host lives above the apartment (it’s the lower part of a large metal building that you’re renting). Then across the drive way and about 75 more feet is another Vrbo in an old silo, it’s really nice from the looks of it.The silo also advertises as having a hot tub? But there is not one in the picture so I’m not sure if the hot tub next to our rental was a shared hot tub or not? As for the private and secluded it was a bit weird sitting in the hot tub at night to see someone drive up the drive way, park and go into the upstairs apartment.I would call it city private and secluded as from the front door you can see the neighbors houses in two directions. Again just not what we thought we were getting based on the pictures.The apartment is extremely well maintained, it was clean and comfortable, the appliances were all in working order and the check in and communication with the owner was extremely easy.
From the driveway looking back at the property you can see the other houses and both rentals.
From the front door to the silo rental.
From the front door to the west you can see the neighbors property.
