What a fantastic VRBO. The pictures and the write-up don’t do it justice. Everything is as described, and the care and attention that has been put into it is amazing. Highly highly recommend.

This house is by far the most modern and nicest house in moose pass!! We loved it!! The only thing that we would want different if we came back would be that we didn't have to take the garbage with us But overall this house was epic!!

Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. Kitchen is clean and well supplied to cook at the property. Coffee shops nearby, restaurants are further out. Entire property is well maintained and complete with everyday amenities.
