    The day before we were scheduled to arrive I got an email message about the property. I sent a text message requesting the door entry code. Then I called and texted him numerous times for the code….no response! When I arrived at the house; the door was locked. Fortunately a neighbor was nice enough to make a phone call and got me the code. We never heard from the property manager. Communication could have been better.

    Great stay in a relaxed place. Beautiful remote home made for a great weekend retreat away from busy Cincinnati for my wife and me. Only hiccup was not having the check in code upon arrival. Possible I missed the email. After 10 to 15 minutes of trying to contact host and call Vrbo, I got the code, and all was fine.

    We found this place three weeks ago and stayed there for a four day extended weekend. We like it so much we came back for another four days. The place is beautiful very clean comfortable and extremely secluded. My only regret is that we didn’t wait a couple more weeks for the leaves to change more. Who knows, maybe will go back in another three weeks!
