This is a great house for a large group. There were plenty of places to sleep. Great outdoor space. We did have a few minor issues that the host handled right away. Very cozy gathering places. Lots of blankets. We were there in Oct. I’m sure it would be amazing in the summer.

Great place for our get together

We all met up and stayed here (about 12 of us) and it was perfect! We spent lots of time on the dock, and on the back patio area, we were able to dock our boat which was a huge bonus. We loved living lakeside for the weekend. The property manager was very easy to reach, and very responsive with questions. overall great location and great house

Quiet and Relaxing

We had an awesome stay at this property. Even got the opportunity to do some fishing right off the dock with the pole provided On property. Caught two bluegill and missed out a big crappie! All bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and tidy. Would highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area!

Overall nice property with easy access to the lake and beautiful views. But we ran into many problems. Some of the problems the host did attempt to address, but that then led to multiple workers at the house for hours during our stay. One problem was not fully addressed, and one was somewhat out of the host's control. Host was available quickly to discuss any problems, but it did impact our stay due to the inconveniences we were faced with. If the problems were to be addressed, then this would be a wonderful place to stay.

Not off season house

Smaller than anticipated. Master is in the basement, if you’re 6 foot or over you will be very uncomfortable down there. Price was pretty steep for offseason. Older house with low insulation you can hear every step, cough or sneeze from all 3 stories. One of the showers wasn’t attached to wall. House was clean but for 1500 plus for a weekend away in offseason we definitely expected more.

Hi Steven, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the home didn’t meet your expectations. Our listing photos and description clearly outline the layout of the house, including the master suite in the lower level, which many guests enjoy for its privacy and comfort. Regarding pricing, our rates reflect the size of the home (3 stories with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms) and its prime location, even during the off-season. Most of our guests find the home spacious, clean, and well worth the value, as reflected in our many positive reviews. We also regularly maintain the property, including the shower you mentioned, which was fully functional during your stay. While older homes can have unique character, we strive to ensure comfort and cleanliness for all guests. We hope you enjoyed your stay overall and wish you all the best in future travels.
