Aimee was amazing

We were there for my niece’s wedding. The location was perfect because it was about 1 mile from the venue. Aimee let us check in 2 hours early and she was always accessible. I was having major issues with the app, but she made sure all pertinent information was sent to me by text.

We had the most amazing stay here. Aimee was an incredible host if I had any questions or concerns she was very quick to respond. A great neighborhood!

5 Stars All Around!

This house was gorgeous and the owner was so wonderful to work with! My family and I stayed at Refugio del Lago this past weekend for a relaxation/end of summer get together. The house was extremely spacious and so well stocked. Aimee has covered every amenity you could think of. The pool was much bigger than what the pictures depicted as well. Can't wait until we have the opportunity to stay here again!

Beautiful home with a view

This house was perfect from check in to check out. We had a large group of 10 and we had plenty of room to spare, we never felt crowded. The home is beautiful and the host Aimee thought of everything you could possibly need. My family had planned a trip to go to the lake for some fishing but everyone enjoyed the pool and the back yard activities so much that we just cancelled our plans at the lake and just stayed in. We can’t wait to return

Wedding and family event

This was absolutely the perfect place for my fiancé and I to have our wedding with our close family and friends. Everyone felt comfortable and were wholly entertained entertained all weekend with the several amenities available. This was our first VRBO and I couldn’t have been more pleased. The host, Aimee couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating for us. There were so many little details about this place that made it so special. If I could give more than five stars I would. Would definitely do again and highly recommend to anyone wanting to host a family reunion, party., etc. This place was great!!!

We (a group of 11 ladies for a girls/birthday getaway) really enjoyed staying here. It had everything we needed, was well-decorated, comfortable, and spacious. The backyard is an oasis; the pool and hot tub were the highlight of our stay. Aimee is an excellent host, very accommodating, responsive and helpful.

Great location, great house!

Owner was great to work with, too: swift to respond, clear answers, very patient. House is lovely and comfortable, pool is great, location has quick access to necessities while also being in a quiet neighborhood. One thing to note about the property is that she’s not kidding about the driveway: it’s VERY steep! It wasn’t a problem for us, but it took some getting used to. :)
