A couple & their dog!
A couple and their dog. My girlfriend & I got engaged on this trip! And it all went incredibly well because of our VRBO property rentals. This was our first extended vacation together with a dog and the property and surrounding areas & restaurants were all very dog friendly! If we ever came back to this area again I would consider rebooking this property because the stay was good. The property owners were very proactive and reached out ahead of time providing important information to us before we needed. That is especially great if you traveling in areas where the broadband isn’t great. We loved this property and appreciate it helping us make some wonderful memories for us!

Beautiful view from the room!
I stayed alone. The room was perfect for one or two people. It was literally right on Fife Lake. Great view, peaceful and the bed was heavenly. It was an older place but very clean and a great setup for a weekend away.
