From the moment that we arrived everything was perfect. The house was so welcoming and beautiful. The house was very well stocked with everything that was needed and then some. Ron was such a pleasant host to communicate with. I would recommend this place time and time again.

We had an excellent stay at this property—very peaceful, lots of spaces indoors and outdoors to hang out. Sunroom, outdoor tables, patios, etc. House was really lovely with lots of charm. Owner very responsive to questions and check in and check out was very easy. Hope to visit again!

There are no words to describe this home and Ron's attentiveness to his guests. The interior of the home is so comfortable and cozy and no detail is spared. We were in town for a volleyball tournament and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This is memory that our girls will have for a very long time. I would highly recommend staying if you get the opportunity!

We are a group of 10 and the house was perfect for us. Lots of room to watch TV, play games, parking off the street. Used the game room in the basement and the cornered patio by the water. The host was quick to respond to our questions

We rented the property for out of town family for our son's wedding. It is beautiful! We all loved exploring the 3 floors and hanging in the basement. Hosts were great to work with. Highly recommend!

This house is beautiful. It was well equipped for our family gathering, and so much room inside and out nobody wanted to leave! The one possible issue there may be is was keeping the noise level down outside if you have a larger crowd. Neighbors are very close. We enjoyed our stay!

The house is roomy, clean and fun. For reference for anyone renting in the future, there is one full bath on the main floor, one full bath on the second that you need to walk through the master to access and one full bath on the 3rd floor in the hall between the two bedrooms on that floor. Can't say enough good things about Barnstormer Distillery - a must visit if you rent this home.

The only problem with this amazing home is deciding which beautiful room to have your morning coffee. We have stayed at VRBO all over the country...this may be the best. Then the owners decided to throw in some vintage video games, pinball machines, and an authentic Jukebox spinning old 45's....family dance party in the basement...Thank You for sharing this amazing property with us.

We are a group of women that get together and cook and discuss books. Ron's house was great -- lots of room for us to spread out and have a quiet space, but also wonderful, large rooms for gathering. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. Wonderful location across from the arboretum. When a slight issue arose, Ron was responsive and made it right immediately. And Ron even brushed the snow off of our cars when he was clearing snow from the driveway. A terrific house and great host.

I am a tour manager for a country artist with a 5 piece band. We had a day off before playing at the Japanese Gardens and we decided to stay at Ron and Karen’s. This place is UNBELIEVABLE. Gorgeous master suite, grounds, river view, tiled screened in porches, terraces, etc. All communication with Ron and Karen was easy and clear. They were incredibly generous hosts and came to see our concert the next day. We even had a very nice late night hang with the neighbors who are super friendly. I hope to stay here many more times.
