Nice sized house for a large group and location was very good.Surface cleanliness very good- kitchen cabinets and stove could use a deeper clean.Refrigerator freezer leaked intermittently all week. The dishwasher needs to be secured to the countertop.The living room rug could use a thorough cleaning/ replacement.The laundry area is quite dirty w old appliances.The rest of the rooms and furniture were in good shape and appreciated- the hot tub is well maintained. We had an enjoyable week.

The kitchen was well stocked. We left salt & pepper for the next guests.The hot tub was immaculate.We called maintenance to get a broom and clear a sluggish sink.. They were there the same day.The freezer leaked some water-not really an issue.The location was great because crossing the road to get to the dock wasn't a problem because there wasn't much traffic.We rented this same house last year, so we noticed the upgrades-especially the solar lights going down to the dock.The kids want us to rent the same place next year. Smiles!

The property is conveniently located to all amenities. We enjoyed the lake access, ease of kayaking and jet skis. The hiking trails and beach were extremely clean. We would 100% stay here again. The hot tub at the home was clean and we enjoyed our morning hike up the mountain out back. There are alot of steps, which are a bit difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

Awesome family trip!

The house was amazing. Location was great. Only downside was it is listed as having a hot tub and when we arrived it was “closed for winterizing”? Our stay was in late June…? Other than that would highly recommend this property

The water in the house was not turned on when we got there, although it was easy to call and get instructions on how to turn it on…because of that the refrigerator water tasted really bad initially, I assume because it was sitting unused fir awhile. Other than that everything was great, beautiful woods behind the house.

Good stay at Cherry Creek Resort

Overall, this house well accommodated our family (7 adults and 1 infant). Plenty of bedrooms and space in the bedrooms for everyone. The living area was tight for all of us with the main kitchen table only able to seat 7 people and was in tight quarters. Generally, the house was clean but definite cosmetic issues can be seen throughout (scratches to drywall, deck needs to be cleaned, 2 outdoor chairs broken). The location and dock were definitely a plus as it was quiet and we were able to enjoy a private dock easily!

Incredible cabin! We will be back

It was a wonderful stay and we couldn’t say more about the property, the amenities, the cleanliness, everything! We will want to come back to this cabin every single year. It was really cozy and just perfect. Only trouble was communication with management. We had communicated with them and asked for a late check out but somewhere on their end that was not implemented and cleaners showed up before we were ready to get out. However due to the error they gave us time to clean up be pack up and all is well :)

Cherry Creek Retreat Delivers

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. Exceptionally clean, nicely furnished and lots of room. The furniture is very nice, comfortable and all the beds have high quality mattresses. The location was very nice and close to everything. Check in/out process was a breeze with the code so you don’t have to coordinate with key pick up. While we didn’t realize the lake front was across the street, it was a very short walk and having a private dock made up for it. The only disappointment was that there was not a fire pit and patio chairs on the back deck as advertised in the photos. This would have been a nice feature to take advantage of the cool nights. This should be updated for future renters. The house next door is under construction so we were a little concerned when we saw tools and a toilet out in the yard however it wasn’t a problem at all and they didn’t start working until mid-day. It should be noted that trash pick up doesn’t include recycling but there is a recycling center very close to drop your recycling off instead of throwing it away. If in the area again we would definitely rent this property again. The lake is gorgeous! So relaxing! House is beautiful! Rental was easy!

Great House on a Hill

Our family had an amazing week in this house. Location on the lake is great and the proximity to the state park was convenient. Only thing worth noting is the climb up from the water to the house. The hill is steep and can be challenging for the older and younger members of the family. Overall, great property!
