Very disappointed because of the lack of information and direct contact from agent. Property needs a lot of deferred maintenance. Outside door locks were problematic—deadbolts need to be fixed. Oven door drops to floor and is dangerous, plumbing fixtures and shower heads need adjusting. Main windows were really dirty, cabinets need to be cleaned. We found unwashed sheet pans in cupboard.

Perfect family getaway

Communication with vrbo was quick and easy, the cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay! Plenty of room to play games, have large family dinners, and movie nights! Thank you for providing us with a beautiful place to make forever memories!

Great House and Great location

Our second stay here with family for a nearby wedding. The house is amazing, beautiful, and well taken care of. It has a high end cabin feel and a morning coffee on the dock of Gomm Pond is a great way to start the day.

Fantastic property

This was such a fun property to stay at! Plenty of rooms, beds, bathrooms (more than what is listed) and an awesome outdoor space. We were there with our four adult kids (19-28) and their significant others for a 50th bday celebration. The pond was a hit! The kayaks paddle boards (adult/kid size) , and canoe were in great condition and provided hours of fun. We hired a local photographer (Lampshade studios) to take family photos by the pond. The neighbors property is really close with the yards running into each other, but the neighbor John was very friendly. We had five cars and easily had plenty of room for parking. This property would be great for families with older children as toddlers would be too risky to have around the pond. The hike to Periodic Springs was beautiful and very, very easy (about 3/4 mile) and the little town of Afton was very quaint, we loved the Dogeared used bookstore. We enjoyed our trip here and wish we would’ve booked it for a little longer stay. We will be back!

Perfect family vacation place!

We had a great time! The house is amazing with lots of room. It was clean and cozy. We had plenty of room for all the adults and the kids. The garage has several kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe. We loved playing in the pond! About 10 minutes out of Afton.

Great location

We loved this property. It was a great place for a teen leader ship retreat. Lots of things for the kids to do. Games, fire pit, all sizes of lifejackets and water equipment to go out in the pond with. Beds were super comfortable. A few minor things could enhance the property, lightbulbs that were out in, the little side deck was dirty, a little dust and cobwebs (but who doesn’t have that !). But nothing that took away from our experience of the property. It was a great location, it was as described.

Beautiful location, beautiful home, needs TLC

This home is in a beautiful location and is a beautiful home. But it needs a lot of TLC. The master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced, it was awful - two large divots where use left the mattress a taco. Essentially the only comfortable place to sleep was in the middle of the bed. We communicated this the first night we arrived and were told they would do their best to replace within 4 days. Never heard back about it - we stayed 7 nights and returned home with major back aches. The rug in the master bedroom is worn to the rug backing in numerous spots and needs to be replaced. The minimal pots, pans, serving bowls & dishes are worn also & need to be replaced, as well as more of them - there is NOT enough for a large group. Lightbulbs are burnt out in almost every fixture. When we arrived the fireplaces and fire pit weren't cleaned out - still had ash, trash and burned logs from previous guests. The refrigerator froze everything, no matter how high we turned the temperature. There weren't any containers to store left over food in, cooking utensils were sparse, no hot pads at all and knives were dull. The couch cushions were stained and throw pillows worn to bare threads and dirty. The high patio dinner table appeared to have been broken, leaving only chairs and a low small side table - no meals to be had outside. The BBQ grill wouldn't ignite and no lighter on the property, the grill also was dirty upon arrival. The kitchen island stools are broken and too low to utilize at the counter, in the broken position. It is a large property with space for large families. Main level great room and lower level family rooms are wonderful. The kitchen and bathrooms are very nice. Bedrooms comfortable in a beautiful location, with tons of outdoor toys provided. But the items provided to make the home comfortable and usable are tired and worn out or don't exist. When contacting the property manager they said they would share with the owner and correct. However, not sure how that will go as many items we had issue with are also shared in previous reviews. We took two tubs of our personal items and were so glad we did. We have rented numerous VRBO properties, this was the nicest home thus far, but also the least cared for. I hope the owners visit soon and provide some love and care to this beautiful home.

We loved our stay here. House layout is awesome with two separate living areas, tons of space for flexible multi-family sleeping arrangements, and garage full of fun stuff to enjoy the water. Will definitely find an excuse to come back here again.

Great place too stay!!

Stayed from a Sunday to Sunday. It was the perfect home for my family and extended family. It had ever amenities you could think of. From toys for my grandkids to a kitchen with everything you would need to cook. Rooms were big enough for multiple people to be in. Not to mention the bedrooms and bathrooms. Over all a fun place to have a reunion.
