Great home floor plan, clean and well appointed, but bring your own pillows. Sandy lake bottom was the best.

Amazing view, huge house. Phenomenal boat. Only thing i suggest is owner gets depth finder on boat working and a rear light for night in the back. Other than those 2 minute things we had a blast. Our circle of friends became family.

Dear Cheryl, I so happy to hear that you had an amazing stay and made some wonderful memories with new family. My apologies, those boat items were damaged as a result of an incident from the guests just prior to your stay and unfortunately they were on back order. They have since been replaced.

This is a wonderful property and the agent is outstanding. Her communication, information and professionalism are top notch. The lake house is lovely and the kitchen is large, remodeled, fully stocked. The dining area is open and very nice while the enclosed porch offers great views of the lake through its glass windows which encircle the entire porch. We ALL enjoyed our visit and highly recommend this property---beautiful lake, nice town, lovely lake house plus an agent who is wonderful !!!!!

Very nice place and lake is great

We had a very wonderful stay, only issue was the miscommunication of the desire to have a pontoon boat with the property manager. We did communicate our desire to rent during the reservation process (have email), but it was missed. We found another source and truly enjoyed our stay. House is very nice, the long dock and shallow waters allowed fun lake time for our three granddaughters aged 4 and a pair of 2's. Sand bar was shallow enough for them to play on, as well. The house itself was spacious, clean and more than enough space. We truly enjoyed our time.

Musty and Damp

This cottage was very musty and damp. There was “damp rid” in every room. It wasn’t very clean. The host did not make you feel very welcome. We would never stay here again.

Great Family Vacation Home

My family of seven (5 adults and 2 children) were very comfortable at this spacious house. The house is well equipped in the kitchen, linens, household goods and family games and activities were fantastic. The only issue with the house was the uncomfortable queen beds; they were extremely hard and many nights I moved to the couch to sleep. The property manager handled the rental and check-in process very well. We also rented the pontoon boat that's mentioned in the VRBO listing. This was not a great experience and I wouldn't rent that boat. I thought we were renting the boat for 7 days; when all the final papers were signed (after we arrived) I found out that our rental ended at 4pm the day before we left which didn't allow us to enjoy a final evening ride in the boat Also, the bigger issue was with the boats depth finder. It didn't work and unfortunately we hit the sandbar (that we didn't know about) which caused some damage to the motor. We lost a day with the boat while it was being repaired. Although the property manager helped get this resolved while the boat stopped working on the lake and then getting repaired, she now is dragging her feet to process our deposit. She indicated it would take about 14 days to return whatever we have left coming to us on our deposit, however, at almost 5 weeks since we rented, she has now stopped communicating with me. So, it looks like I've lost my deposit. Due to this experience with this manager, I would not rent this home again!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 September 2024
Dear Guest, I am sorry that you feel that way as we communicated several times regarding the damage to the boat and the expenses incurred. The boat agreement you signed clearly stated the rental policy and the dates you agreed to and signed for were at your request. All boat rentals comply with insurance requirements which include one on one safety instructions and operating procedures. The excessive speed and complete disregard and negligence to the safety of the passengers which included young children shocking and thankfully no one was injured as a result. Your actions caused damage far beyond your security deposit in which you admittedly acknowledge. All repairs were documented and professionally repaired by the marina that is a certified Bennington dealer and has been in operation for three generations. I could have charged you the full amount of the repair bill as stated in the legal binding agreement you enter into, but I did not. I have successfully rented reliable Bennington boats for many years without incident. Your lack of accountability or remorse for your actions is incredibly disappointing. The lack of appreciation for the repairs that exceeded your deposit that I did not charge you is beyond words. You were not entitled to a refund as the damage exceeded your deposit. This lovely home has enjoyed many happy guests for years and no one has ever had issues with the beds or their comfort. Your attempt to smear this home's good rating was reviewed by the VRBO care team with all the supporting documents. Their findings is that there was no basis to your accusations and future rentals by you would be under review.
