South lake
Our stay started aweful, the place was so disgustingly dirty that in order to sleep there and shower we had to wash and dry everything. Walking without shoes anywhere in the home would have been unhealthy. Floors needed sweep vacuum and mopped. Surfaces were all dirty, dust ,pet hair and sticky grime. Same for small appliances and freezer. Full garbage can with dirty diapers, clothing articles and foods on floors. We 3 cleaned for at least 4 hours and the place was still in need of a deeper clean further under furniture. There was an inadequate response from owners (no local property manager). A small refund was given which would not have been enough to pay a proper cleaning company for the cleaning we had to do to make things healthy and clean enough to stay. VRBO was really not helpful either they told us to consider taking what the owner was offering as a discount because there were no alternative places to stay in the area and the owner could cancel the reservation leaving us with no place to go. The location is great.

About the host

Hosted by Darlene

Host profile image
My husband and I love nature walks, animals, and watching the sunset rise and fall. When we first saw this home we knew we were in for constant major projects but we also saw the potential this home has. We have an armadillo that lives below the deck. Two owls that live in the area, hawks flying around, beautiful humming birds. All sort of lizards, turkeys, frogs, turtles, and all sort of plant life. So much to explore.
There are a few hiking trails around the area, boat ride about 15 minutes away.
This home is such a peaceful place, where you can just unwind and truly just enjoy the best of Mother Nature.
This home is not a glam home but a place to truly enjoy Mother Nature at it's best. It is constantly undergoing projects.
We are always looking for ideas to give our guest a unique experience, so if you have any idea we welcome your comment. It is not about the glam look just yet but we are working on it, for now its all about the nature and beauty this property provides. We try to keep the animal safe so our guest can enjoy, so please just enjoy what you see at it's natural element.
This home has come a long way to get it where it is and there is always room for improvement.
The vision is there but getting there we will need our guest to support with their ideas.

We love guest who will use the space and have a great idea of what we can do or how to utilize a certain space. We want to dream big and hope to share with our guest especially those who continue to visit. If you decide to be our guest, dream big and let us know what ideas you would add to Rustic Enchanted Forest.
Our dream is to make this home eventually be one of airbnb's most unique. Our ultimate dream is to create a glowing look outside of the property. Our ultimate saying is "Dream Big in life, stand out, don't be afraid to fail, get back up and keep going eventually you will succeed. This is how achievers are born. Come dream big with us.

Why they chose this property

Rustic Enchanted forest has a water front home, for us this was a dream. Wha stood out more was it had a pool. Every bedroom of this home can fit a living room and bedroom set with no problem. It has 2 kitchens, hot tub in the master bedroom. It just needs more upgrades. The pool looks into the lake.
The pool still needs some work, but the potential this home has is there. There are some things we have perfected but there are others that will take us awhile before we get there.
When I first saw this home, I fell in love with the nature of it and saw potential in what we could do to bring out it's natural element.
Mother nature is at it's best here as you sit and hear all these amazing sounds of what you are surrounded by. You will see plenty of reptiles, birds, and plants around the property
I am still learning more and more about this property as I attend every time. This home is not about the glam look, it's really about enjoying the peace, tranquility, and how to fall in love with nature again.
It has a unique look Kids or pets should never be left unattended in pool or lake area. If you love nature, want to just relax, want to be one with nature, do yoga on the deck or loft, looking to unwind, want to go into the Jacuzzi with a drink as you look at the lake, play by the pool area, enjoy yourself by the fire place, or on the deck with a drink. Then you have come to the right place. Enchanted Forest is a great place to gather with family and friends (Max 10 people). This home is close to 2,800 square feet, every room is spacious, so just relax and unwind.

What makes this property unique

This property is a unique property with a lake and pool, it has many unique features. The architecture features are different. This home has so much to offer such a lake view, pool, hot tub relaxing on the deck, and all private. The structure of the home is also unique as well as it has a basement. Almost every window or sliding door has a view of the lake.

If you look closely we have humming birds outside the pool area. The tall bush blocking lake view. Humming birds like perennials, such as columbine, bee balm, catmint, and salvia and shrubs such as butterfly bush and rose of Sharon. Say hi to the humming birds as they gather in the warm weather.
You may see some cool looking reptiles like several species of turtles, turkeys, reptiles (tree frogs, lizards, and etc), the most amazing and beautiful reptiles you will see if you take a moment to look closely.

There is also an armadillo that lives close by and sometimes will come out to ay hi. Please do not touch but enjoy the view.
Once in awhile you will see the turkeys stop by. They tend to make a loud noise as they are getting closer.
And so much more, please send us some pictures as we will be creating an animal guide book.
If you look around you will also see a lot of plant life.
The home itself is also dog friendly, we have also put a gate by the wrap around deck so your dog can explore as well and be close to you.
Keep in mind this home is constantly going through upgrades. The bedrooms are what we focus most on beauty and elegance but we also wanted to keep the theme of Rustic Enchanted Forest for beauty and Rusty. There is no Ying without it's Yang.
We hope you enjoy this home as much as we do.
