Best VRBO ever!!
Amazing! Gorgeous! Stunning! Thesaurus! My beautiful wife & I needed a long weekend away, to ourselves, to recharge, rekindle, remember, & restore. Mary & John's place up the hill from Lyle, WA, replete with phenomenal views of Mt Hood, highland cattle, birds, deer, & chickens (yes, I know chickens are birds) was exactly what the doctor ordered (I'm a doctor so I should know, right?). PHEE-nominal!! My only regret was our departure.
The house is a showcase & so well appointed. Appliances are top-of-the-line but there's also an understated luxury you can't help but appreciate. If you get the chance to meet Mary you'll understand it flows from her & is just how things should be. Nice towels, slippers, robes, pictures, pillows, blankets. A place for everything & everything in its place ... but with such style & grace.
The house is renovated & built for 2, which is important to understand. It's primarily a couple's retreat. There are windows with views to the South (Mt Hood) & East (cattle). The floors are great, the counters fantastic. The cabinetry is wonderful. Why would they VRBO this place & live anywhere else? The hardware, lights, sliding glass doors, fireplace (inside & out), the finish on the walls, wrap-around deck, the birds & trees, & places to sit & enjoy a book or a view or a pillow or a blanket or each other ... just WOW! My wife is SO in love with me again & I didn't even try... Well, I did find this place, didn't I?
Hey, why am I limited to 1.5k characters?
