Weekend Away

Our family stayed at The Getaway over the Easter holiday. Randy was very quick to respond when we could not get into the home. The house was just as describedclean, all the amenities that you would need, quiet, and space for everyone to spread out! We would definitely stay there again!

If you’re going to a wedding at Camp Pointe this is your place!

We had to get ready for a 2:00 wedding & the host was so accommodating & let us check in early. Upon arrival the house smelled fresh & was spotless! Fresh towels & robes in the bathrooms along with shampoo & conditioner. They thought of everything you could possibly need! Loved the coffee bar!

short but sweet

Although we were in town for only one night for a wedding, the house made for a perfect meeting place and a place to watch the many deer in the yard! Owner helped us by letting us in early to get ready for the wedding, considering they had the house occupied the night before.

A Comfortable Stay

I came with dogs to a rural place so they could run around while my own house on VRBO was being rented instead of keeping them in the kennel. There were a lot of grassy areas and woods with a pond and paths alongside cornfields to explore. Unfortunately, it was a corner lot close to 2 streets and there were several cars a day going fast and one without a stop sign, so I was very worried and was shouting a lot. If it weren’t for that, it would’ve been perfect because the house inside was comfortable and so was the bed, there were different rooms I could watch TV in. the air-conditioning worked great and so did the internet. The house was modern and definitely worth the money!

Great house! We stayed here for a weekend for my daughters wedding at Lakeview Wedding Venue. Its about a 13 minute drive, so this house was perfect location with all the driving back and forth all weekend. Wish we had more time in this house. Cute coffee bar with cute little game room!

Family Reunion

The house was easy to find and was in quiet farm area. All of our family wasn't able to attend at the last minute but the house was large enough, that if everyone that was planning to come had, we would have plenty of room. When we need a place again we will definitely try to obtain this house.

Cleanliness and bug issues. A TV said to be a smart TV but no wifi so just local channels. Communicated with hosts about issues.
