Here’s a polished VRBO review you could use:We had a great stay! The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. The property was very clean, well-maintained, and had cute decor that made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The location was perfect for our trip—just a short distance from the boat ramp, making lake access incredibly convenient. There was also plenty of room to park our boat and trailer when we weren’t on the water, which was a huge plus. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient place near the lake.

Only encountered two problems. Biggest bed was a double in the main bedroom. We are large people so had to sleep in separate bedrooms. No large bowls in kitchen. Had to buy a bowl to make salad. Everything else was great. Very clean and comfortable.

So sorry about the bowl situation I thought I had thought of everything. I will get that fixed right away. However, the master is a Queen size bed, I am sorry about that but hopefully you still had a great get away!!
