Hear From Our Happy Guests!

This property is beautiful and you’d be hard pressed to find one better! We had 8 people in our group—4 adults and 4 kids. There’s plenty to do for everyone: kayaking at the lake, fishing the pond, feeding the goats, playing at the playground, playing basketball, watching the deer, cooking on the smoker in the outdoor kitchen, having some drinks and making s’mores around the fire pit and enjoying the lake view while eating dinner on the deck. The host was great and stayed in touch to make sure we were taken care of.
Highly recommended!

While part of me doesn’t want the word to get out... I’d like to keep this place all to myself...I had to review this amazing property! Very few places offer such an amazing experience. The 25 acres includes a fishing pond, kids play area, basketball hoop, swimming area, animals to feed and pet and so many deer! We had 5 adults and 5 kids stay for four nights at El Rancho Reginia. The adults loved hanging out on the upper deck on the porch swing watching the wildlife and enjoying coffee or cocktails. The kids played...well...all over. Ranging in ages from 4-9, I felt very safe letting them run and roam on this private property. They walked down to feed the animals and play on the play equipment and had space to just be kids. Translation - not one of them asked for electronics for four days. Win!

While the property is one of a kind, the service is incredible. I very much appreciate attention to detail and Jill clearly makes this her mission. From the moment I walked in and saw the fresh flowers in the kitchen and heard music playing softly throughout the house...I knew I made the right choice. (Also...the house smelled amazing...just a side note!) Everything is impeccably clean, sheets and beds were amazing and the house has several living areas that allowed for families to spread out.

I can’t say enough good things about this property and the owner. Thank you Jill for opening your home and property to us and to other families. This is an experience we would not have had otherwise and we can’t thank you enough.

House, property, location, on premise activities, house amenities, owner hospitality…all top notch. We had a great time at this property while on spring break. Definitely on our short list for renting again in the future. Thanks Jill once again for sharing your home with us and for your excellent hospitality while there. We felt like family during our visit…what more can you ask for?

My Family and I stayed at this Home for Christmas. It was such a beautiful Home and very spacious. We never felt like we were on top of each other. We love the Christmas lights especially the Windmill lit up as a Christmas Tree and She was gracious enough to set up a Christmas Tree inside upon request as we had some gifts for Christmas Morning. We enjoyed all the activities including Fishing and feeding the Animals. The Kids loved the play ground and all the space to run around and play. It was nice to have something for them to do outside away from screens. We loved it and would love to come back soon. We definitely recommend this Property.

The property was fabulous. Clean and every amenity you could think of was addressed perfectly. The property had everything to keep young children entertained from feeding goats to fishing in the pond, going to the lake and much more.

The view from the deck is incredible. The owner was delightful and made it so welcoming upon on arrival. Definitely a treasure and will be back again.

El Rancho was truly one of the best places we have ever stayed in. It is a huge and beautiful house located on a beautiful property with one of the best lake views I have ever seen. Sitting on the porch swing or eating in the family size table on the deck every day refilled our minds and spirits. The kids loved running around the area, feeding the goats and donkeys, watching the geese and chickens, and swimming in the lake. I had thought we would have a good time but we ended up with one of the best travel experiences of our lives. Jill was a truly gracious and generous host, always available to answer any question, and there to lend a helping hand with anything we needed. We were so glad to meet her. The outside kitchen is Incredible! This spot allowed my family to have peaceful moments along with fun adventures, truly one of the best vacations we have ever taken. We will certainly be back.

This is the 2nd time we stayed here and it does not disappoint. Our family loves this home and the property on the lake. Jill is a great host always being available. She even brought us a delicious cake. Highly recommend staying here - very clean and homey.

The propery was absolutely gorgeous. We were able to sit right by the lake and relax. We would drive our car right down to the edge of the property, then a short walk away is the waters edge. The house was beautiful and the owners did a great job adding special touches to make it feel extra special. The house was very well cleaned and the owner was very nice. We explored around the property and our little one had a great time petting the animals. We loved it here!

Fabulous house and property! Jill, the owner, is a great communicator and gracious hostess. No attention to detail was lacking. This beautiful home and property was BY FAR THE CLEANEST VRBO rental we have ever stayed in. We were thoughtfully gifted a delicious snack tray and nice bottle of wine upon arrival. Views of lake and lake access to property were so beautiful and there was plenty of space to park the large boat and our vehicles. Our older grandkids loved fishing in the pond and younger ones enjoyed feeding carrots provided for us to the donkeys and goats. We loved watching lots of deer coming to the feeder each evening while enjoying a beverage on the cool and well appointed upper deck. It was a perfect place for our family mini vacation and we sure wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you Jill for sharing your amazing piece of paradise !! 😍💗
