Communicating with Mystic Manor's owner has been fabulous! Mikki's quick response before our trip and during our stay was stellar!
The home was comfortable and one of the biggest we have rented on VRBO.
We had tons of parking for all of our kids vehicles and for our 20 foot trailer and all of our ATV's after they were unloaded.
We kept the ATV's under the large carport and rode out of town each day from "Mystic Manor". We really enjoyed riding in the area and Monroe and the surrounding towns are very ATV friendly. It was miserably hot in town until we got up in the cool of the mountains. We didn't realize how deserty Monroe was and did not study our altitudes before the trip.
Our teen-aged granddaughters and my 83 yr old mother especially loved the Hot Springs which were super close to the house, but we just rode the ATV'S up the streets. The pool towels were put to good use, and we washed them in a handy stack washer/dryer combo unit in the master bathroom to reuse the following day.
The kitchen was well-stocked with SO many appliances. A rice cooker, a George Foreman Grill were things I never would have expected a rental to have and would have made my meal planning easier had I known. We used the waffle maker, and crock pot. Such great additions to the kitchen.
Some things I found I needed in the kitchen were:
A hand mixer (Mikki's mom brought us one to use- she was so kind!)
Potato Masher (we used the mixer from Mikki's mom, so made do)
A spatula/scraper
Hot plate trivets
Medium sized pots (only one provided)
The dining room only has seating for 4.
We brought an 8 foot folding table and additional chairs.
There were only 2 washcloths provided, 1 in each bathroom, and I found myself needing dish towels and dish rags.
My mom went to the dollar store and bought more. My mom also got a kick out of the dozens of "worded" signs throughout the house.
It was a joyful reunion for my spread out family and any problems we had Mikki was quick to fix. She was a great hostess!
