Upon check-in, one of the porch lights simply didn't work, there were plugs dangling, and certain light switches throughout the property either didn't work or were non-functional. The floor was filthy, with dirt, dust, food, and we discover broken class and random items swept under places. The bathrooms had black mold around the edges and in the tub jets, and the one tub had rust and corrosion reactions going on around the drain. The shower liners were dark colors. The host offered to "send the cleaners back out" and a 50% to the cleaning fee. It was never cleaned to start with. Vrbo found the host's response fully acceptable. After I and others of our group got sick and had to leave early, say it is not. What say you?

Excellent Hosts

We were a group of friends that had a great time at this house. The lake is a huge hit, especially with the dock and canoes. We enjoyed the ping pong and foosball additions, and lots of fun attractions in the nearby area. Check in/out was super easy. Most importantly, Michael and Ashleigh were always quick to respond and made sure we were well taken care of in their lovely home!

Had a short stay with family to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. All amenities were great and there was a separate space for those without kids to get quiet time. Overall pleasant experience with property managers, and I would stay again.

We spent the entire weekend outside enjoying the pond/lake. The kayaks were provided but we spent most of our time sitting on the pier fishing, talking, and enjoying each other’s company. Thank you for the great place.

The house is great - it has two separate structures which is really nice for bigger families or grandparents and kids like ours. The lake is beautiful. Sitting in the hot tub looking at the lake was great. It was too cold for swimming still, but in the summer this would be a great house for swimming and boating right in the back yard. They must have changed cleaners since a prior review bc the place was very clean too.

Fantastic house - House was as expected

The house is right on the lake and it has a really nice backyard. It was too cold to use the lake, but I imagine in the summer it must be great. The dock was nice to fish off of even in the cold though. Inside of the house was a good size for our group and the beds were comfy. Would definitely stay again

Fantastic Thanksgiving with family!!

A great time was had by all. Very nice house and equally nice guest house with game room. Our 1 daughter and son in law stayed in the guest house and loved it. My wife and I along with our oldest daughter stayed in the main house and loved it as well. It was so nice to sit by the fire and just enjoy the time together. The view of the lake which was just steps away would make a great Christmas card. In warmer times there are kayaks to paddle around the lake, great location , stores , restaurants, a very nice waterfall ( Marshall's Falls ) just a short trip about 30 min. and an added bonus we woke up to snow on Thanksgiving morning. A special thank you to the owners for the help in correcting a problem quickly. Other reviews that say they respond quickly are spot on, thanks again.

Perfect Fall Trip

This was a great stay! First, the hosts are very responsive--super quick to reply and helpful, which is probably the most important thing to look for in a stay! There were only 2 of us and dogs but there is so much room for more guests with 3 bedrooms and an additional guest house, so it was very affordable. Plenty of comfy places to sit and enjoy in the house. Really loved how well-stocked the kitchen was, even with sugar, spices and other random things you wouldn't think of until you need. Absolutely loved the fireplace, hot tub, water view and dock. The yard landscaping was very nice to walk around on and had nice privacy from the neighbors. The driveway is a loop so that was super convenient. The neighborhood has wonderful trees and lake/pond views as you walk or drive through and feels super safe and quiet. The location is very easy to get to from the interstate, and that also made it easy to travel in the area and check out hiking spots. I would recommend this rental! =)

Great weekend trip!

I recently had the privilege of staying at this Lake House, and it was nothing short of a magical experience. Nestled amidst tall pine trees on the tranquil shores of a crystal-clear lake, the house provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking views of the shimmering waters reflecting the sunset's golden hues. The architectural design of the house, with its ample windows, ensures that no matter where you are inside, nature’s beauty is always within sight. For those seeking activities, the lake house offers a plethora of options. From kayaking to fishing, or simply taking a leisurely walk around the picturesque surroundings, there's something for everyone.

Location was awesome, cleanliness and condition of the home - not great.

Upon Arrival; no water in the guest house, heater hanging off the wall and no power.  The back deck buckled under our feet and the exterior doors would not open without fidgeting the handle and pulling up or down on it.  We opened the hot tub lid, and it was barely full and smelled like it hadn't been cleaned.  I contacted the homeowner, and he offered a 100 refund. There was nothing available in the area and we drove 3.5 hours.  We called back, he offered "200 refund and a 5 star review," I agreed at first and was concerned with his comment - were all reviews because a refund was given? Then it seemingly got worse.  Broken shelves in the refrigerator, filthy bathrooms that had hair & dirt in the bottom, makeshift couch that looked like 2 corners to a sectional couch pushed together, wires hanging from the fireplace, dirty pots and pans, mold bread in the cabinet. Smoke detectors with no batteries and hanging off the wall, broken fire pit chairs, cobwebs everywhere, random holes in the halls and stains on the wall in the bathrooms and bedrooms.  The best part of the house was the deck to the frozen lake and the location to town.   I was shocked over the 5-star comment that came with my refund of only 200. He assured me that his cleaners always went in depth - that is not the case.  Renters, beware of the condition of the home - never had an issue with VRBO before now.

The property has so much potential to truly be 10/10. My spouse found the property due to its lakefront location but had I read the previous reviews I would have had second thoughts about booking the property. Overall the property needs MAJOR cleaning. However, in reading previous reviews, the owner states he hires professional cleaners and during our stay some packages were delivered for the “cleaners”; to this I would say…the owner is being ripped off by the cleaners because the property was not clean.

Loved having the hot tub but didn’t use as much as we thought we would. Lovely view of the lake. Main house did the job for our stay but cleanliness I would under rate. Lots of dust bunnies and cob webs. Landscaping looks neglected. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. Even with the few negatives we had we would stay again.
