I honestly cannot rave enough about our experience at Mark and Lesa's property. Oh where do I begin? You know how when you go somewhere in your travels, and looking back on the memories, a certain place or person just warms the cockles of your heart entirely? Well this is THAT place. My goodness everything here was simply PERFECT!! This was the last place we stayed during a 4-night trip to the midwest. After a harrowing experience two nights earlier with another VRBO, arriving at this location was pure heaven. The space provided was the most luxurious, beautiful, cozy, comfortable, immaculate place for which we could have wished. The room is a HUGE expanse on the second floor of the main home with a gorgeous full kitchen, full bathroom, eating area, TV relaxation area, dense, plush carpeting, and cozy, comfortable bed with the prettiest pillows and comforter you ever did see. Everything in the room was just beautiful. We were seriously in awe when we opened the door and were greeted with this space. Right down to the embossed toilet paper roll, the hosts have thought of your every need. My husband and I arrived very late, almost at midnight, so we could not see the landscape around us at all while we were driving. The next morning we woke up to find ourselves in the most glorious countryside! Sheep grazing in the field outside and cows in the pasture next door, chickens in the chicken coop...it was all just breathtaking. Our favorite part, however, was getting to meet Lesa and chat with her. She showed us around the property and answered our many questions, even offering to make us breakfast (I wish we would have time to take her up on that, ha ha!). Meeting Lesa felt like we were visiting an old friend or family member. She is a charming, lovely, warm-hearted person indeed. We did not have the opportunity to meet Mark but have no doubt he is the same. We very much appreciated getting to meet her and learn about their home. We plan to return and spend more time here and see our new friend Lesa again. Our experience here reminded us that the world has wonderful, real people who, by inviting you into their home and lives, add joy to our day by showing care and sharing friendship. Thank you Lesa and Mark. We are looking forward to visiting again and are sooooo blessed to have found your VRBO listing! :)
