Good and quick communication, especially for a holiday weekend. Setting and location were lovely and I bet it’s really nice in the summer. House was big and spacious - perfect for a big group. Everything was clean, if a little basic. There were a couple areas that needed a little maintenance.

The house was nice and served our purpose. Everyone had a place to sleep and the living room is spacious. Kitchen is a bit small, but I was there to relax, not be a short order cook lol! The view is beautiful and the kids had fun paddling around on the provided kayaks and paddleboards.

THE HOST WAS ATTENTATIVE. THE HOUSE ON THE SUFACE APPEARED TO BE CLEAN UNTIL I GOT IN THE SHOWER. THE LINER AND CURTAIN HAD PINK SLIME AND STAINED WITH SOAP SCUM AND STUFF. I NOTIFIED THE HOST AND A NEW CURTAIN ARRIVED WITHIN HOURS. THE HEAT DID NOT WORK IN ONE BEDROOMS AND THE BABY MONITOR ALERT KEPT GOING OFF THE TEMP WAS 60 DEGREES. THE BASEBOARD HEATERS WERE A CONCERN WITH FURNITURE SETTING TOO CLOSE TO THEM. UPON CHECK OUT WHEN THE LINENS WERE TAKEN OFF THE BEDS THE PILLOWS WERE NASTY! STAINED AND VERY WORN. I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THEM WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SHOWER SITUATION..... I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY FOR FUTURE RESERVATIONS AND I FEEL AN ADJUSTMENT FOR OUR STAY IN IS ORDER.

The house was very dusty. Dishes needed to wash prior to using and the floors where really dirty.The 1/2 bathroom door needs to be fixed and the linen closet in the full bath you need to be 6 feet tall to open it from the very top.

This was a beautiful and very clean property. There were some very soft spots on the decking leading to the stairs on the patio. Wood was rotting and primary bathroom closet door was broken (track issue). Loved my stay at this beautiful and extremely clean place with the best views and access to the lake despite any of those issues, I would stay here again! Beds were very comfy and clean. Communication with property manager was awesome I grew up on this lake, there is not one bad thing about it other than I had to go back up north.
