Robert, we love your description - Fantastic property! What more could we ask for in a review. Thanks for your kind words for FVR. It means a lot to us. We hope to work with you again! - Claire, FVR
Spacious and accommodating! This was our second stay, only negative was that the lake shore in front of the house was full of dead animals, that had a terrible odor!
Property is just as advertised. Lots of space inside and out. All the amenities and toiletries are there with plenty to spare. Property was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay taking full advantage of the lake and the shops and restaurants within 10-15 minutes of the home.

Timothy, thank you for this lovely review. We love hearing that you enjoyed your stay and all the area had to offer. We appreciate what responsible guests you were, and we hope to host you again. -Claire, FVR
We were a group of 13, and this house was awesome. Plenty of sleeping space and something you don't get with homes with 6+ bedrooms--every bedroom was nice, had a closet, window, etc. Two living spaces is nice. Great views from any room. Very well stocked kitchen. Highly recommend this home!!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear the house worked perfectly for your group David. It’s wonderful to know the kitchen had everything you needed and that you appreciated the thoughtful design of the home.You were truly amazing guests, and we’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future. Thank you for your recommendation! -Van, FVR
Spacious, comfortable, lovely decor, and exceptionaly well equiped kitchen. We cooked all our meals in, the propane grill was adequate though it hadn't been cleaned in some time. We did a wine tasting on the patio which was wonderful. We found a golf course nearby, Granite, which was a good value. Rob's rentals provided our pontoon boat with room for 16, and we enjoyed our cruise around the lake. The extra fridge in the garage was very handy for the variety of beveraged we brought.

Thank you for the thoughtful review, Rick! We're so glad you enjoyed the spacious and comfortable home. We appreciate the note about the grill and will make sure that’s addressed. You were fantastic guests, and we’d be happy to host you again anytime! -Van, FVR
Exceptional, had everything we could have ever needed. The second fridge, highchair, kids tableware, pack & play, grill and the spectacular view were high lites!! We loved being able to gather around the giant kitchen island everyday, and the kitchen itself had every possible tool we needed to prepare multiple meals for our large family and then some!! The four showers were very handy. Had we been staying during the summer, everyone would have loved to take advantage of the lake and all of the water sport accessories available in the garage.
Highly recommend!!
