    Barb & Bob's home is incredible. This was probably the best rental home experience I have ever had. Amazing detailed communication beforehand & then Barb provided so many wonderful recommendations that we used daily! The house was just as described (even better!), it had everything you could want & more! And THAT VIEW! I was blow away by the entire experience & can't wait to come back. We had one question during our stay & Barb answered immediately & made sure we had what we needed right away. The North Shore is a beautiful place & this home makes it an even better experience.

    Barb was awesome to work with. This property was amazing and everything you could have asked for and more! Leave your worries at home and enjoy this luxury property, Barb has thought of everything to make sure your vacation is awesome. Walking sticks, spices, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, a guide to all the parks and restaurants. My only complaints would be that the bed is sky high, but she provided a step stool, and the pool was tiny, but let’s face it you are not there to swim.

Everything you need to relax - beautiful view of the lake from the balcony, comfortable seating in the living room, some games to play, and a comfortable bed. We received communication about our stay well in advance, including ideas for activities and restaurants, so we could make some plans. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and what we needed to cook. We would definitely stay here again.
