We have rented many times in the past from another realtor, I have to say we were happy that we choose Railey. Once in a Blue Moon, was very clean and well maintained. Just the right size for our family of nine. Nice location, and the amenities were great! The fireplace was easy to light. The house had a small yard, which the kids enjoyed sledding. There was no shortage of snow! The fire pit area looked great! (too cold for that this time) The hot tub was a big hit as well! A good time had by all! I'm sure we will rent this house again!

Thanks for the kind words, Deborah! We are happy to hear that the home was all you had expected and the amenities were well-equipped. It's great that the weather was perfect during your stay! We hope to have the chance to rent to you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Once In A Blue Moon was awesome!! Our family had such a great time there. There was some road construction which made it a little difficult to get down for dinner and such, but nothing to hamper our stay. The place was immaculate. Loved the atmosphere!! Thank you so much for letting us make family memories!!

My friends and I decided we needed a weekend of rest and relaxation because of our jobs. After searching the site, I settled on this house. From the pictures it looked immaculate, and just what we were looking for. When we arrived, everything matched the pictures, and we were pleasantly surprised. I have no issues or complaints about this house. Other than the alarm going off for the septic tank when we first got there but everything after that was all right. I will be booking this place again in the future.

Both of the houses were better than expected and they shared a huge driveway. Will definitely be booking this house again in the future.

This was a wonderful place to stay near the lake! The place was larger than I even expected. Everything was clean. The place included everything we would possibly need to cook and store beverages. Such a fun back yard with a hot tub, fire pit, grill, and room to put corn hole. We also loved that the location was close to Dutch's at Silvertree, Casselman's Bakery, and Honi-Honi/Unos! Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay!

This was a very nice rental. It was spacious and clean. We had 2 families with 4 adults and 4 children, and everyone was comfortable. The internet was pretty weak, and the dishwasher didn’t always clean the dishes so we had to wash by hand. The kids enjoyed making s’mores and the adults loved using the hot tub, which was well maintained. Overall, we had a great stay and would return again.

We’re so glad you had a great time at Once In A Blue Moon, Kelly!
