This house is ideal and has everything you need, from the golf cart, clean house with new amenities and location in The Villages. The host is gracious and responsive with any questions. We will be booking for the 3rd year in a row
Beautiful house that was very clean and comfortable. Loved the location as it had easy access to town centers and grocery store. Host was extremely responsive and helpful with our questions. Would highly recommend.
We stayed for two weeks and it was perfect. Joni is a great communicator and provides a book with instructions for smooth navigation. Highly recommend staying here.
We loved it! The location of home was quiet and centrally located. Furniture was comfortable and a plus was the acceptance of our small dogs. We have already booked for next year.

Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you next year.
We've rented Mutterhaus several times and it never disappoints. The house is beautifully decorated and centrally located. Looking forward to our next visit!
Excellent property, great owner. Lots of communication, nice check in to reassure us when the storm was coming in. Excellent golf cart included, good for the whole family. Comfy and clean, would definitely book again.
This in my opinion was the best location to explore The Villages. This location allows you to go north or south in the villages!!! Definitely we be looking to rent again next year!!!
Home has everything needed for your stay. So many extras are included. Great, quiet location that is convenient to everything. Was not ready to leave and look forward to our next visit. Would definitely stay here again.
This property was just what we were looking for while in town visiting my parents. The house had everything we needed, was in a nice quiet location and use of the 4 seat golf cart was the icing on the cake! Highly recommend!
We had a great time and really enjoyed our visit. The house is located in a great neighborhood! It was great fun to take out the golf cart. The house was well equipped and worked well for us. We would stay at this property, again.
Beautiful home, has everything you need plus a quiet Yamaha gold car!
We always love our stay with this exceptional host.
The home is comfortable and has anything you could possibly need. We have stayed at two of her properties and they’re fantastic! Animals welcomed and a great golf car provided. Her kindness and hospitality is why I will keep renting and telling our friends and family about her properties.

Thank you Tasha! Sorry for the delayed response. We certainly appreciate your business.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and clean home. This is one of the nicest VRBO homes we have rented and we would definitely stay again. It included a golf cart which we didn't get to use since our friends picked us up every day and took us places. We had so much fun discovering The Villages. We can't wait to go back.

Thank you!!! So glad you had a great stay and do come again.
Joni was a wonderful host and her house was very accommodating. We were in town for a family emergency and I have to say everything about Joni’s house just made us feel comfortable. In addition, the house was spotless and in a very quiet and beautiful community. I can’t thank Joni enough, she was truly a wonderful host and VERY responsive to any requests we had.

About the host

I live in The Villages full time. Someday, I hope to retire and enjoy all The Villages has to offer. Right now, I live vicariously through my neighbors.
Why they chose this property
Investment/rental homes are a hobby. The five homes currently on VRBO - Mutterhaus, Ruhe Haus, Friedlich Haus, Glucklich Haus, and Villa Sonnenschein - are all lovingly cared for to both retain their value and provide a premium, "at home" experience for guests. If you think of anything during your stay that is missing, but would be great to have, let me know. Your feedback is extremely valuable.
What makes this property unique
Great home in the Village of Amelia, a sought-after location near lake Sumter Landing. The four seat, gas golf car will allow you to explore with confidence and Resident passes will give you access to all the amenities afforded to residents of The Villages.
