Nice location

The location of the property was fine, at no fault of the host, but getting around due to the flooding was a little more difficult than we thought it would be. We like the area, and we were able to do everything we wanted to do on this vacation.

Great location!

This place is perfect for a trip to Madison IN. It is half way to Vevay so you could go eihter direction. Hot tub was awesome and the property was clean. They had board games if you are into it, so I wouldnt be afraid to bring the kids along. Overall great experience.

Such a peaceful and relaxing location! We enjoyed our weeekend getaway. The kitchen had everything needed to make a meal and the beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was amazing! But the best part was the peace and quiet. Thank you!

This was the perfect spot to stay. It was right between Vevay and Madison both of which provide a little something for everyone. Everything in the house was in working condition and very clean. The hot tub was a wonderful benefit to the home.

Relaxing, peaceful getaway

We loved sitting on the porch and listening to the birds in the morning! Saw wild turkeys too. There was a record player cued up with a Conway Twitty record, which we played when we came in, really fun! Lots of room to stretch out. Didn't use the hot tub but nice option. Had a couple minor glitches with things, which always happens at rentals, but nothing that would reduce our rating! Thansk for a great weekend stay.

Convenient and clean, no water view

Great layout, except master bedroom. Should move the king bed into the master and the queen across the hall. Huge kitchen, fabulous porch/patio to watch the sunset. If it had a bit more water view it wiuld be perfect.... well, that and a hair dryer! Plenty of towels and kitchen tools for eating in.

Avoid this rental - not as described and poorly maintained

We were extremely disappointed with this property. Upon arrival, we found it to be dirty and far from the description in the listing. The fridge, counters, and bathrooms were filthy, requiring immediate cleaning before we could use them—hardly what you expect when paying a premium price. We were traveling with small children and couldn’t simply leave, especially as we were 4.5 hours from home and attending a wedding. Despite this, the owner only offered a refund if we left within an hour, which was unreasonable. The well water smelled foul and left a slimy residue, likely from over-treatment. This made basic tasks like washing baby bottles, hands or dishes unpleasant. Even after providing photos to VRBO, they did not take action, so I’m leaving this review to warn others. This rental was overpriced, poorly maintained, and not worth the stress. Proceed with caution!
