    We had a great stay at Vanessa & Dan’s place! It is just as pictured — beautiful and well appointed. Beds were very comfortable. Appreciated the 4.5 bathrooms and multiple living areas given that our large family was staying there. Vanessa and Dan were easy to get in touch with and super responsive. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

    The house is incredible. Perfect place to spend a weekend celebrating my mom’s 75th birthday. The grandkids (age 9-12) had a ball in the game room- (so did the parents and grandparents). The house was very well appointed and had everything we needed in the kitchen to make big family meals. We loved hiking around the property and even got some snow. Vanessa was incredibly responsive with everything. Couldn’t have been better!

    We had an amazing stay with friends! The house is huge and has everything you need. The new bathrooms are super clean, and the kitchen is fully equipped. Loved the game room, hot tub and indoor entertainment options. Plus, there is a lake and other outdoor activities very close to the house. Communication was great and everything worked perfectly. Highly recommend!

    Ponder Yonder was terrific! My friends and I had a great time exploring the nature around the property, and we spent a lot of time at the firepit & on the upstairs porch. Plus the hosts were super communicative and the whole experience was seamless. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.

    Absolutely fantastic!! The bathrooms attached to the bedrooms were gorgeous!! The game room was such a blast for the grandkids! Also enjoyed the hot tub. Such a spacious kitchen for three women cooking Thanksgiving dinner! The best memories I will have are watching Grampa with the grandkids hiking the property. Kept getting requests to go again and again! Even spotted a beaver. Highly recommend this rental!!

    We had a blast, house was perfect, beds comfortable, game room REALLY fun for the kids (and adults), and we spent a lot more time kayaking in the ponds than we'd planned to. Highly recommend.

    My family enjoyed every minute of our stay! The house was beautiful, the property was gorgeous, we honestly couldn't ask for more in any way. We enjoyed kayaking, walking the trails throughout the property, star gazing on the porch, table tennis matches....there wasn't enough time in the day to do all the activities at our disposal. The property offers great privacy with the convenience of shopping close by, the house is furnished beautifully and the high-end spa like bathrooms give ambience that added a touch of indulgence to our stay. The owners were responsive and very accommodating. We will absolutely be coming back to see other seasons!

    There were a couple of glitches but amazing help right away. Your property managers are amazing. All 10 of us had a wonderful time. If only you could get the wildlife to come on schedule. Oh and get the fish to bite the hook. It is definitely a wonderful place. Thank you for having us. The Watson’s

    The house was beautiful but the grounds were amazing. So peaceful and the kids loved looking for frogs, beavers and otters. We explored a few of the paths to find hidden waterfalls and kayaked in the ponds where we saw a turtle, frogs and beaver habitats. Great week.
