After renting several VRBO properties, we have learned that the owners (understandably) put the best face on a property. We typically take the photos and descriptions with a grain of salt. While all of our vacations have been really enjoyable, we have never stayed in a property that is as clean, updated, and well-maintained as this one. The pictures don't exaggerate. If anything, they are under-stated. This place is huge, and it is gorgeous. We had a wonderful time in the surrounding area, picnicking at the Black Canyon, fishing at Crawford Reservoir, having a family pool tournament, Jeeping, going on drives to see literally dozens of deer at dusk, and sharing several fun meals prepared in the well-stocked kitchen. Renters before us had obviously done their shopping before arriving to find basic kitchen supplies, then had left behind their extras, so there were a ton of spices, plastic zip-top bags, condiments, canned goods, etc. We had forgotten a few things, but there was a small general store about 15 minutes away that was very handy for such purchases. The only small issues that we experienced were a few warped boards on the deck that presented a tripping hazard, and several annoying flies that got in as people were going in and out. There must be lots of flies in the area this time of year. (After dealing with chiggers in Texas, however, that was very minor by comparison lol.) It's a hunting lodge with lots of taxidermy in a rural area. If that's the type of house you are looking for, you can't go wrong with this huge, gorgeous place!
