Great location to our daughter’s wedding venue. Host was very quick to respond and accommodating to our early check-in needs. The place is also perfect for a canine guest as well. We were busy with wedding events all weekend, so we didn’t get to spend a lot of time at the house, but it was very comfortable and would be a great place to stay again.

Everything went well. When using the shower upstairs make sure you have the bathroom exhaust fan on and the door closed so the detector doesn't go off. The code for the master bedroom downstairs didn't work so we didn't shut the door. Great accommodations.

Denny, it was truly a pleasure hosting you! Thank you for the review 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Just for clarification for future guests, keypad check-in instructions provided to guests explain that the code must be followed by the “#” button to unlock the suite door. We understand that instructions can sometimes be overlooked, and we do provide detailed information to make check-in as easy and seamless as possible. As always, any questions during your stay will be answered promptly without delay- as we strive for five star communication 😊

Lake view (as described) but not lake front (as the pictures may be deceiving at least to me), as there is a road and power lines in between the house and the lake. User error on my part for not reading the fine print, but a washer/dryer is not available…. Like I mentioned it was not advertised as being available but I guess I didn’t even think to look for that detail since my previous Vrbo experiences renting a house always included washer/dryer. The house was nice, and looked like the pictures but just a lot of small things that added up. Not enough towels, no extra pillows, minimal toilet paper and paper towels (as in just the half used from the last guest was there with no extra). Bathroom fans sounded like they were about to die, broken shelves in the refrigerator and freezer, cob webs in most of the ceiling corners, etc. A lot of small things that did not deter from the house, just made my overall impression NICE and not WOW.Hot tub and fire pit area were nice!And communication with the host was easy and all replies were quick.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home, hot tub, fire pit area, and our quick communication. We’re especially proud of the rare and amazing lake view and quick access. We love the peaceful setting, and gorgeous sunrise views that make this property such a special place to stay. The home and its amenities are accurately represented in the listing, and we encourage guests to review the amenities and property details when making their reservation so they know exactly what to expect. We also want to clarify that the refrigerator shelf had been damaged by a previous guest. A replacement shelf was promptly ordered, and we had to wait for the part to arrive. That has since been repaired. We provide plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows throughout the home, along with starter supplies for our guests. We’re always looking for ways to make our guests’ stays even better and appreciate you bringing your observations to our attention. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, lake views, hot tub, fire pit, and our communication during your stay.

The house is awesome. This is the second time we have stayed at this place. The front steps are pretty steep but you can come in through the back. I am a big guy and had no issues. The salt and shovel were necessary this year but it worked great to keep the snow cleared. Everything was clean and the Hot Tub was awesome. Yes, in 17 degree weather we used it. The host was easy to work with and warned us about the bad weather coming in during our stay. When booking know that VRBO does no include an insurance cost in the booking. But happy to pay it, in case our adult kids break things.

The house was beautiful and had a great view! I was initially disappointed because the fireplace wasn't working. That issue was quickly resolved after I contacted the host. The sleep number beds didn't work. And, the hot tub looked as if it hadn't been cared for (unclean), so I didn't get in. The tarp overhead was hanging, so we left it alone and remained inside :-(The hot tub and fireplace were the main amenities that I wanted when I booked this location to celebrate my birthday. While I wasn't completely satisfied, my guests seemed to enjoy themselves. I also felt misled once I reached the checkout. The site advertises no hidden fees, but there were. And, they were big fees at that! The cleaning fee, the customer service fee, and the security fee. All were astronomical and should have been described up front. That was real deceptive and misleading.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the home and lake views. For clarification — all amenities during your stay were fully operational. When you reached out with questions, our team responded immediately each time, and we sent staff onsite to personally show you howy to turn on the fireplace, adjust the beds, and the adjust the hot tub controls. Everything was demonstrated working in real time. Our hot tub is professionally serviced and sanitized between every reservation and is always sparkling clean upon guest arrival. Regarding fees — we do not add or change any charges outside of what is already displayed by the booking platform at the time you made your reservation. The exact total you agreed to when booking is what you paid. We take pride in providing a well-maintained home and quick support, and appreciate the opportunity to clarify not only was everything working properly- we even sent staff to help teach you how to use each amenity when you needed it.

Overall the house was good. It was renovated nicely. It just was a bit dirty such as the bathroom vanities had other people’s used toothbrushes and makeup, the main room was dusty and the freezer was not cleaned out. The dock by the lake was very unstable which was impossible to stand on.
