Fishermen’s paradise with dock; pet friendly; 4 bedroom 2 bath

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for coming.

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay.

Thanks for your stay. Glad you were able to use the lake even with the draught. Fingers crossed for rain.

Thanks for staying here for the second time. See you next time.

I see you have booked 2 additional set of dates in March and April, 2016. I hope you find some of the updates to your liking. I'm sorry VRBO has now decided to charge a service fee to renters using the site.....very disappointing indeed.

Thanks for being great guests. Hope to see you soon.

Guest Warning for Hosts I had a very difficult experience with this guest and would not host her again. During her stay, she raised several complaints that, in my experience, were related to misunderstanding or not following the information and instructions provided before arrival. She had difficulty operating the Mini-Split systems, accessing the internet, and using the app. Detailed instructions had been provided in advance, including information that could have been printed for reference. She also complained about exterior “spiderwebs,” which were actually cottonwood lint—a seasonal issue that can be particularly heavy at this time of year. She complained that a rose bush was overgrown, although our landscapers were scheduled to be at the property two days later as part of their normal maintenance schedule. She additionally reported a urine odor and that the property was dirty. These issues had not been reported by other guests, and I could not substantiate the claims. After approximately 10 minutes of ongoing complaints, I decided to cancel the reservation and asked her to leave. She explained that she had driven approximately 4–5 hours and was exhausted, and asked to stay one night. I agreed and refunded her for one night. She subsequently requested a full refund through Vrbo, which was denied. Based on my experience, I would not recommend accepting a reservation from this guest. Hosts should be aware that a rural property, seasonal outdoor conditions, and systems such as Mini-Splits may require guests to read and follow the information provided before arrival.

So glad your weekend went well. I'm glad to see you rented a boat and that you were out on the water. It sure is a great way to beat the summer heat. This is a great year for the lake as we had lots of winter/spring rain and the levels are back to normal. The homeowner's association just had the channel cleaned which should last throughout the summer. I've never used my boat to go to the local restaurants......what a great idea. I'll try it next week.

Thanks for your review. We aim at having a clean and comfortable spot for fishermen and families.

i am so sorry you were disappointed but i believe you were expecting more than what our property offers. the bricks were put there by the guest prior to your stay. they had no permission to do so and we were not informed. they have been removed. i would love to see the pictures as I re-checked the property and can’t find the items of your concern. i check every cleaning and we are premier hosts. The grill needs new components but it is functional; it is cleaned often and we provide a tool for guests to clean it after they use it. lake levels, bugs and algae are out of my control and a good reminder that decisions impact the ecosystem. we use the property but leave nothing but a few items there and they have been stored away. it should not have been an issue. thank you for your stay and i’m sorry you require more than our simple house could provide.

I am so sorry you forgot the document you were sent. As stated when it was emailed, it contained all the info you needed. This info is also accessibile at VRBO and connected to your reservation. I with you would have voiced your concerns when you contacted us or afterwards. We do Not live there but it is our vacation home. It contains minimale personal items but yes, they are there. The cat box is Located in a storage room that is private- it should not have bothered you in the least and you should not have been in there. As stated in the ad, we accept animals so yes, there are a couple of collars. I will clarify in my ad that I choose not to have blinds throughout.....i like natural light. Regarding the yard, my apologies that you came the weekend before it was mowed. However, you should have called or ever bothered our neighbors. Our house is not their responsibility. Again, that was all clearly stated in the ad and the document you forgot to print and bring with you. I am sorry my vacation home is not to your taste.

I'm sorry you felt that way and I will check into why the grass wasn't mowed. As stated in the ad, there is nature all around and bugs are part of it. regarding the blind, I do not want a blind there as I don't want to block my view and the sun only comes through that window at sun up. The projector was a "bonus" and I will remove it from the house so there are no expectations. There is a tv in the bedroom- not sure how you missed it. I will remove the "burned" DVDs that you claim don't work.

Thank you for your review but i want to clarify a few things. The writer of the review never stayed at this property and booked for someone else. None of these issues regarding the dock, ants nor a vent were ever mentioned so I will consider those retaliatory. It is the guests responsibility to read and follow the rules and protocols of this rental. Third party bookings are never allowed and this guest not only broke that rule but communication was severely lacking. Instead of cancelling their reservation which I could have, I honored it. Receiving the required ID’s was arduous at best. I do not recommend this guest to further hosts.

thanks! please come again!

We are sorry you were disappointed and this wasn’t a match for you. Luckily most of our guests do not feel the way you do. they understand it’s the country and mother nature makes her own decisions.
