Ray's on the River review
Accommodations far exceeded our expectations. Check-in/-out was simple. Recommendation - add vent fans to bathrooms. Will reserve in the future and refer to friends. FYI: batteries in TV remote need to be changed. Thank you...

Great location!
Nice house on the water! Just minutes from the ferry ride to the island & 20 minutes from New Baltimore with shops & restaurants! The house was perfect for our family! Plenty of games for us to play, comfortable sitting area, and beautiful kitchen. Bathrooms were absolutely beautiful! Definitely enjoyed our stay!

First time staying in a VRBO
I would like to thank you folks for having an amazing property. The layout, the area, the dock, the water, all of it. Incredible. The little games and what not you had available was a great time we enjoyed! All very well prepared. While it was not the cheapest avenue we could have gone it was certainly well worth every penny we spent. So, again we thank you for allowing us to come up and stay at your property for our trip. Looking forward to it in the future as well!

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you so much for reviewing your stay, Cody! It is fantastic to know that you all had a great time, and were able to make good use of the provided games and amenities, as well as appreciate the location and home itself. Though we understand there are alternate options you could have taken for your stay, we love knowing that you found the home to be worth it, and that it could exceed expectations! Hopefully we will get a chance to host another stay with you!

Really nice renovation. Great location for fishermen. Nice to have laundry soap and trash bags. Great neighbors! We loved fishing, walking our dog on the dock, and boat rides along the river.

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for reviewing your stay, Ronald! We're so happy to know you enjoyed you stay, as well as getting a chance to meet the neighbors, make good use of the dock, and especially the good luck while fishing! Hopefully we will have a chance to host you again!

Vacation
Thank you for the nice stay. We had a great time. The neighbors were great. Our favorite memories were surfing and skiing on the lake, hanging out on the porch, and having dinner outside.

FVR RESPONSE:

Hi Kelly! As our first guest at Rays on the River, this is so wonderful to read! We are so happy to know you had a great time, and were able to make the most of your time at the lake, handing out on the porch area, and even having a chance to get to know the neighbors a bit! Hopefully we will have a chance to host you again!
