Wonderful stay for our family. Very clean with everything you would need in the kitchen. Big yard with a beautiful lake view. We enjoyed the beach down the street and the ATV access in the area!
beautiful, clean stay that is incredibly spacious and in proximity of fun outdoor hangs! a quick 5 minute walk to get to the lake and about 10 minutes from buckhorn state park. my group loved the stay! the host is communicative and has great recommendations for the stay. highly recommend and would love to do it again!
We enjoyed the house and appreciated communication with the property owner. Only drawback for us was the inability to access the lake right from the property and pier not directly attached to the property.
Our stay overall was great. Eddie was very responsive and communicative. The house overall did the job for 11 guests who each got their own bed.A few thing deterred from a 5 star review. The bonfire pit was great, but the sewage smell from the septic tank in the backyard made it unbearable to actually hangout by the fire pit. The two minor notes there is no soap/body wash at the Vrbo, which we thought was standard for rental homes. The fridge also took a few hours to get cold, which was tough since we packed coolers with food.
This house is very roomy and has plenty of beds and space for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked. I love that there is 3 full bathrooms. The house is clean and we appreciated having a boat slip and launch so close by.
Stayed at the property with 6 adults, 3 kids (ages 4, 1, & 1) and 3 small dogs, and had a very relaxing time. The layout of space on the first floor is very family friendly allowing for the grandparents to sleep away from the grandkids. The open concept is also very nice - we did not feel cramped at all. Having 2 bathrooms on the first level and 1 in the basement was convenient.
(3) practically new, not tippy kayaks were available and load into the lake was very easy at the property. We brought our boat. Be sure to use the slip on pier C (to the RIGHT of the property) when facing the lake. The walk to the pier is very easy and the boat launch (5-10 minutes depending on pace) including a small beach was great for a short break with littles. Fishing on the lake is tough and there are many shallow points, so be sure to take a map or follow other boats when picking up speed.
The proximity to Buckhorn State Park is amazing. 5 minutes to get to the beach, where the sand and water were very clear for swimming.
Our favorite part was the quietness of the property. Surrounded by mature trees - it felt as if no one else was around. While the road is paved to enjoy long walks, it was fun to admire the area and other homes/cottages along the lake.
We did have an "uninvited guest" while staying, but contacted the owner and appreciated the cleaner bringing over traps immediately. AAHHH cottage life. I also provided a few suggestions, including blackout or some type of drapes for some of the bedrooms, knowing the owner took over this property this year. He was very accepting of the recommendations and was very responsive to all my questions before arrival and while vacationing. We would definitely return!
There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone. with enough bunks for kids! The house was fairly secluded so the kids could make noise and not have to worry about being told to be quiet! Would definitely stay here again!
We couldn’t check in till late for the cleaning crew and folded the laundry we needed. Stuff happens. Had an unexpected snapping turtle visit and lay eggs throughout the property. Otherwise it’s always a great stay on our favorite lake.
The house was not ready when we arrived, we waited until 8pm before we could enter the house. Eddie did end up taking off a nights cost for the delay. He was responsive when the smoke detector in the utility room was beeping (door was locked so we couldn’t do anything), he sent over the cleaning lady to take care of it. The property was clean and secluded and fit our needs. I would stay here again. He also allowed us to bring both our dogs, which was wonderful.
