Too much interaction with host

My friends and I use VRBO because the host does not stay when we stay. Generally interactions are through messaging in the app. I received a message 2 months prior to our stay asking if the host could stay on site while we were there. I replied that generally the reason we go with VRBO is that we stay alone. We are a group of 4 older friends who are vendors at events. We are quiet clean people and we spend most of our stays together at our events. We come back to the property to socialize and then rest. He said he then had somewhere else to stay during that time and he would not intrude on our privacy. He then messaged 3 days before, providing entrance information. The day of, he messaged that he doesn't provide coffee, then messaged to request that I let him know when we would arrive. I gave him the time, and he replied that he "would be around." He was there when we arrived, walked us through the house on the "grand tour" then proceeded to let us know he would be staying across the highway (less than a quarter mile away) and that he would be working in his workshop on the property on Saturday. He also was there when we left. We are used to VRBO stays where we never see anyone but the friends we're staying with. The house wasn't as clean as we usually see. Dirty sock in the upstairs bath and hair in the downstairs sink. Something sticky on the floor downstairs and drip marks on the cabinets under coffee maker. He was nice enough, but not what we wanted while using VRBO.

Awesome vacation & reunion in a winter Wonderland

The property is amazing, spacious inside, and a perfect space for spending time & not feeling like you're in someone's space. Especially since our time was indoors because of winter storm Blair. We did enjoy building a snowman. Stan was an excellent host & Lovena was delightful and went above and beyond anything I could've imagined. We will definitely make it back, probably spring of '26. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

Nice location and nice room setup

The kitchen was well appointed, plenty to cook and serve 7 people. The location was nice as we were visiting Abilene and having time at Lake Milford. The grill was too small for our family of 7. Laundry setup was great.

Great weekend getaway

We had a great stay near Milford Lake. Clean and cozy accommodations. Quick response from hosts on any questions or for any needs (they restocked dishwasher tabs promptly when we ran out). We had a family gathering and this residence had a nice outdoor gathering area and plenty of room in the kitchen and downstairs. We would gladly stay again!

Pleasant and Relaxing

This home is rural but not far from beautiful Lake Milford and Junction City. It has five bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas. The back deck is large and overlooks a spacious area that flows into a cornfield. The sunsets are beautiful and the night stars are extremely bright! The host is easily reached, very friendly and answers inquiries quickly! Our short stay was pleasant and comfortable!

Annual reunion/fishing trip

Great property with lots of space to include parking for multiple vehicles with boats. It is close to Milford State Park with access to boat ramps and fish cleaning stations. The property owner and cleaning person ensured we had everything we needed and checked on us once during the stay. We plan on coming back!

This was our first time in the area for our annual fishing trip. House is three minutes away from boat launch and about 10 minutes from town, which was absolutely ideal. Clean, modern house that has everything we needed. Plenty of driveway length to park truck and boat.
