Perfect Getaway

We stayed here in March during Spring Break. The drive here was gorgeous with all the wisteria in bloom. We always try to choose a waterfront VRBO, and this one did not disappoint! The home was very comfortable and relaxing. We spent lots of time on the dock and caught endless numbers of bluegill using just tiny pieces of hotdog. There was a huge bass living under the dock that also tried to catch our bluegill! We also enjoyed the other amenities of this community, such as the waterfall hiking trail, mini golf, and pickle ball. Would definitely come back!

We love this place!

We’ve come back to this beautiful cabin in the woods several times. The area is beautiful, the house is spacious, the yard is big with lots of trees and lake access, and there is a lot to do in Holly Lake Ranch. We did hear some of the amenities may be shutting down, so that’s something to check on. But we’d probably still come. It’s that great of a place. And Joe & Carolyn are super responsive and helpful as hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Carolyn Fields

We started off as college sweethearts and now have enjoyed 45 years of marriage. With 3 grown children, and 3 precious grandchildren, our home has always been the hub for folks to gather for food, fun and fellowship. We love offering a place for family and friends to gather, connect, and build great memories.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is owned by our friends, Mike & Cindy Shimasaki, who visited and fell in love with this area as well. They recently purchased the home and we have the pleasure of managing it as a vacation rental until they retire and move in it full time.

What makes this property unique

This home is located on Holly Lake which does not allow motors over 10hp. So the lake is always calm and peaceful for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and relaxation on the water. This home has both a lake view and a view of the woods.
