Beautiful home, very spacious. Views were also beautiful. Only negative was that we forgot our outdoor heater and they did not have one as shown on pics, so we could not hang out outside to play cornhole.

Amazing customer service

The home was lovely and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We accidentally left a very important document at the house when we left and Vacasa staff kindly and generously delivered the document to us. We are so grateful for their incredible customer service.

Great memories!

From the booking to checkout, the process was easy and transparent. My family had a great time, they offered many activities inside including games for the kids and family to gather. Outside was beautiful and the deck was spacious and seating all around. We will absolutely be booking again!

Actually would like to give it 4.5 stars… but not an option

Nice spacious home, use of the garage is a big plus during the winter months. Lots of outdoor space, is a definite plus as well. Comfortable beds, extra large game room with pool table, and lots of windows throughout the home, overall a nice getaway place to rent. We will definitely consider renting this home again.

It was beautiful and very clean but very bad plumbing issues!

The house was very nice comfy and clean. Only issue was we had very bad plumbing issues during our whole stay I let vacasa know on day 1 and they had someone come to see the issue on day 2 in the morning they worked for about an hour and started backing up again. We were only able to use 1 restroom. I did notify them about the issue again and they said they would get a plumber out on day 2 but I never heard anything back. I just wanted a reach out maybe an option for an later check out due to the circumstances. Overall we loved everything else about the house and all the useful stuff in it!

Beautiful Spacious Cabin, perfect for 2-3 families.

The home was beautiful and located across the cutest pond with a boat where you walk down to. Only 10 mins from shaver lake. The backyard is huge and has a nice fireplace with provided chopped and dried wood. Lots of kitchen utensils & extra places to sleep (no pull out couches) love the huge windows! It was hot in the home during the day but cooler at night. Wasn’t worried since we spent our days at the lake. Tons of fans provided though. Unfortunately there were spider webs, dust, and lots of huge bugs during the beginning of our stay, floors and patio could have been swept. Hanging lights in backyard would not work. And propane fire pit didn’t work thankfully there was a secondary fire pit. It was early on in the summers so we could have possible been one of the first guests in awhile. There is a cute mud room that has a tree for u to put up small wood ornaments. Tons of blankets available . There’s blow up boats and paddles available you’ll just need to bring rope to tie it down n use. Cleaning lady arrived before our check out, really made us feel rushed out, didn’t like that very much. But I would definitely return again it’s a gorgeous cabin with good vibes and you can tell it was decorated with love. Super spacious for at-least 2 families.

Awesome home. No help.

Loved the entire home. But even after several attempts to get someone over to the house to fix the major issues we were experiencing, no one showed up. I was extremely offended actually, because I let them know that an entire bedroom’s power wasn’t working, not even the sockets, nor the balcony light worked in there. And we had let them know we had cold showers the entire time. If it were the summer time, that probably wouldn’t have mattered, but we stayed while it snowed, because we love the snow. We loved being able to make snowmen in the backyard, we loved the pool table & piano & the awesome sound bar & the furniture in the living room, the acoustics in the shower when I chose to take a freeeeeeezing shower (I like to sing), but because no one ever came to fix the major issues we were having, I chose to give the review a 3. The house deserves a 5. But with zero assistance from their maintenance crew, which is obviously deserving of a (0) score, I had to balance out the entire stay as a whole a 3, because of the frustration we had not being able to utilize an entire bedroom, cold showers, and waiting for someone to show up to help that never did was extremely infuriating. We were all looking forward to a warm shower, because we were told someone was coming, but never got to experience it. But I appreciate the home & I can’t imagine putting blame on the home owner’s for these issues when it is in fact the maintenance crew that needs to take care of the place. We let them know about the recycling bin in the kitchen was already full when we arrived & there was some garbage as well in the garbage bin next to it in the bin. The recycling bin didn’t even have a bag (can liner) in it, so we had to dump out the previous people’s recycling into one of the limited bags that was left for us. We let the support team know of all of these things as well as the main ceiling fan light didn’t work the entire time. Again, we were expecting help, but to my astonishment, no one ever did, even dedicating our entire last day there to waiting for someone to arrive, so we didn’t leave the property. 5 star home, but 0 stars for the maintenance crew. Just so very infuriating when expecting someone to arrive that never does. I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but someone needs to take care of the people that are spending tons of money to stay. I’m sorry. I even believe we deserve some compensation for our troubles, and not getting what we did paid for.

Ein schönes und gepflegtes Haus in einer abgeschlossenen Residenz. Es war alles ausreichend vorhanden, toll die Kühl-Gefrierkombination in einem separaten Raum. Patrick Collet hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen, ein sehr netter Vermieter, trotz meiner wenigen Französisch-Kenntnisse haben wir uns verständigen können. Die Gegend ist wunderschön, man kann viel unternehmen, Wanderungen oder Spaziergänge, viele Strände, viele schöne Orte zu besichtigen. Es hat uns alles sehr gut gefallen und wir werden im nächsten Jahr wiederkommen.

The cabin was extremely enjoyable. Spacious neat and really couldn’t ask for more perks to make the vacation fun. The loft with a pool table definitely added a fun time just before bedtime.

This home was nearly great - rodents and poor property management make it a 1 star

This home was nearly 5 stars. The backyard is perfect for kids snow play, it was thoughtfully remodeled, upstairs kids play area was a hit, and use of the garage and a garage fridge all make this home awesome. The reason this home gets 1 star is the rodents in the walls that will keep you (and scared small children) up all night. According to a note left at the property, this is a known issue with squirrels living in the walls of the home. The scratch and scurry all night. To go on vacation expecting sleep and relaxation and know each night the constant noise, scratching, and scurrying is going to keep you and the kids up, and will mean no sleep, is no vacation at all. The fact that this is a known issue, that Vacasa on omits on the listing, is just wrong. I contacted Vacasa about this issue (and several others, such as: the home not being ready/clean on time, so we had to wait outside in our car, with kids for 1.5 hours after our check in time for the cleaning to be completed). Vacasa was dismissive or unresponsive. Get the rodents out of this house and get this house managed by a company that acts like they care about customers and this house is a 5 star place to stay.

Christmas in the snow

The Cabin was beautiful, Great place for celebrating Christmas with the family. Enjoyed the family time to reconnect playing pool, table games or just relaxing enjoying the views. The furniture and beds were comfortable. House was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Really enjoyed the hot showers and the kitchen had all the amenities of home.

An absolute dream

The cabin was both cozy and modern, I absolutely loved the layout and décor. The pool table was a plus as it allowed us to spend time indoors at night. The location is perfect minutes away from the village. I will definitely be back to experience this cabin and area in the summer.

Beautiful home. Pictures don't do justice. Quiet location. We loved the pond across to fish and the trail in the "backyard". We loved that it had a huge deck to relax, bbq and play some corn hole. Plenty of space for parking. My family and I were so comfortable. We will definitely book again.

Great home for young kids

Our children were ages 15mo-6yo! They had something for every age in between. We were grateful for all the kid friendly plates and cups. The adults had fun playing pool and talking because the kids were so entertained. We will book this house again no question. I would suggest bringing extra trash bags and paper towels as there weren’t enough to make it for us for the three night stay. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets if you got cold. We loved it!!!!!!!
