"Clean and friendly staff"

"It was a lovely house close in a great location. Will definitely rent again. "

"After driving 10 hours I was hopeful to relax, however upon arrival the home was in disarray and not cleaned from the previous tenants-the property owner acknowledged it was his fault - he offered to have it cleaned but then offered a the option of a 5th wheel trailer in a park of run down trailers. It was in an area that i did not feel safe to be in and my daughter in law agreed it was not a good area for a woman traveling alone to be staying in. It was not the property i had paid for. I then asked the owner to refund my money as i was alone and exhausted and i needed to book a hotel as both properties were not part of what was agreed to pay and by that time i was frustrated. He essentially stated that my feelings regarding feeling unsafe were not important in a rental situation and that he believes it is a safe area- regardless of the fact that it was not what i had booked because that property was not ready to be rented and may have still had someone staying there. The owner offered a refund of substantially less than half of what i paid, for something i did not stay in due to his oversight. I agreed to a refund less than what i paid so he wouldn't be out of his fees to VRBO and he declined- If the outcome was different and he refunded what he COULD have , minus his VRBO fees- I would not be here writing this review. Other reviews state he has many properties in many states, it saddens me he has taken advantage of a situation like this and has kept the funds."

"We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend the Blue Canoe! The house was very clean, and the pool was perfect! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!"

"For our party of three the location was perfect for our planned outings. We also loved staying in! All the amenities and spaces contributed to the ambiance of hospitality, and made us feel comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, spacious and inviting for those times we wanted to enjoy preparing a meal. We all loved looking out the windows to see squirrels, birds and a huge woodpecker. Having our morning quiet time with the Lord, sitting on the comfortable couch was a joy! The decorations were delightful and tasteful. Almost like being at Grandma's house. We hope to have the opportunity of returning."
