"We have stayed at many properties through VRBO and others and by far and away, this has to have been the most thought out VRBO themed house. It was decorated in the Wizard of Oz theme so thoroughly that I suspect it could be converted into a museum. The home was more than well stocked with plates, bowls, and cooking hardware. Things are meticulously labeled and everything has its place. The rooms are well stocked and every room represents a character in the Wizard of Oz. There is an exciting scavenger hunt to give you a little game to play when you get there. And the original Wizard of Oz DVD is available, as is the movie Wicked (which our kids promptly watched). The home is about 30 minutes from the Great Salt Plains Lake including some good fishing off the spillway as well as digging for crystals on the other side of the lake. We didn’t have much luck fishing but other parties nearby did. The crystal digging took a bit of practice figuring out what you are looking for but once you get one, the speed of discovery picks up fast. About 40 minutes in the opposite direction is Alabaster Caverns which was great. It’s about 30-40 minutes of walking through the caverns and well worth it. Bats fly around your head within feet which is pretty surreal. The home is cute on the outside and stands out in the neighborhood since it is well cared for and relatively newly painted. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. "
