"WOW!! More than a 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ !!!! Hands down this has got to be the BEST Aironb property | have stayed in. I have stayed in numerous properties from the east coast to the west and also overseas in Germany, Poland and Czech Republic. And as you can see from my name "Karen" I can tend to be very picky and opinionated! So here goes.... First off it is soooo clean, like spotless clean and that is VERY important to me! It's beautifully decorated with such personal touches everywhere you look. The shower is AMAZING!! So hot with great water pressure. The beds were very COMFORTABLE and each bedroom had its own personal temperature controlled unit which was nice because I like it cold when I sleep and the other couple liked it warmer. There's 2 porches outside and the lower porch (outside the game room) has a swing that l loved to sit on to just unwind and listen to the birds chirping. This was such a pleasant surprise. The game room was SO FUN to end our nights. We had a friendly competition playing ping pong (lost), toosball, board games, and watched 'The Office' on the huge TV. There's another TV in the main living area that's open to the kitchen, which had everything we needed to cook a full meal. Lots of frying pans, cookie sheets, pizza pans, pots, all utensils and dishware that you would ever need. And can I mention the spice rack-wow! Another pleasant surprise to find every spice that I needed besides salt/pepper-there's garlic, oregano, curry, and a dozen more. One night we cooked on the grill on the upper deck. My husband would like to go read up in the loft area where there's literally over a hundred books. As far as location goes the property was in the middle of a wooded lot and it was so tranquil and peaceful. It is a couple minutes walk from the entrance of Lake Laura. Just turn left out of the property and walk a couple minutes looking to your left side for the walking path to Lake Laura and then we hiked the 4 mile trail around the whole lake. It's so beautiful and calming. Well if you've read this far you'll see why I really LOVED this property and I would also like to mention that the host, Amanda, was exceptionally accommodating! She responded to all my questions and made sure that everything I requested was taken care of :))) Thank you for opening up your beautiful home to us! Much appreciated!!"

"Awesome stay! Well worth it as a quick getaway from DC. Also stocked full of board games for a couples or small work group getaway."
