Great Family Vacation

We spent a week with 6 family members in the cabin and had plenty of room. The water park passes were appreciated since we had a couple days of rain. A couple things were in need of repair but did not affect our stay. The gas grill is in need of some repair to the burners but we managed to use it just needed to watch flames. The cabin is in a great location within walking distance of the water park and restaurants.

Very nice condo and location

Condo was relatively clean when we arrived. Needed to buy toilet paper as no extra. Easy walking distance to water park. DirecTV was clear but lacked channels. Overall it was a great vacation and the location/condo was a major plus.

Great place

We really enjoyed staying here. The only downfall was it was not very clean. The floors were gross, bathroom trash not emptied, dirty blankets behind tv in loft, blankets in the closest were dirty. Aside from the cleanliness factor we had a great time. They added more beds up top which was nice. Not as many chairs outside as shown in the pictures.

Great place!

The over all stay was amazing. Great accommodations for sleeping arrangements with 4 single beds and a bunk bed located upstairs along with a bathroom 2 nice bedrooms downstairs with a queen bed in one and a king bed in the other. Also a very nice pullout couch bed located in the living room. Only issue we had was with Toilet paper and trash bags. Upon arrival we only found 1 half roll of TP but it was completely minor and an easy fix on our end.. I would gladly come back to this property again.

Family Vacation

Great location! It's very close to the lake, Arnolds amusement park and shopping if needed. It was fun being able to let the kids fish the pond that's literally just out the back door. The house could use some updates to the entire property such as new furniture inside and patio furniture. Its all starting to fall apart or already has. Otherwise it's a great place to stay for family with kids.

Decent cabin

Check in/out was very easy. Nice location on the pond. Cleaning service was not very thorough at all. Needs a major deep cleaning. 2 outside patio tables with only 3 chairs and 1 of those was broken. Comfortable beds on the 1st floor. Loft beds were saggy, but kids did not mind.

Needs some attention

Location was great and my kids loved the Waterpark. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep. This house needs some attention, patio furniture sparse with 1 chair broken, screen doors torn, comforter torn (replaced by management when I notified them) outdoor light didn’t work, we had to find the mattress pads and place on beds, no mattress pads to be found for twin beds upstairs, trim on couches falling off exposing screws and staples.

Good Overall

The location was wonderful. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our meals. The property itself was nice but not clean. Rugs were dirty, lots of cobwebs in the windows, floor was sticky, dirty sheets on the closet floor. The water faucet in the kitchen leaks badly, only one of four light bulbs in the main bathroom were working, there are towels shoved in the holes where the smoke detectors should be, and there were no garbage bags. The place needs some love and it would be outstanding.

Perfect location

The cabin was perfect for my family of 5, plus my parents. There are plenty of beds, seating, food storage, kitchen and bath supplies. My kids loved the pond. Short walk across the street to the water park. The furniture is definitely updated and not what's in the pictures. Positives outweigh the negatives. The kitchen sink faucet is broken so water runs out the backside onto the counter. There was no propane in the grill tank ( we had family in a cabin down the road so we used theirs), and the large triangular windows are full of spider webs, stuff and dust.

Good place to sleep but no extras

If you are looking for a place to sleep and eat- then this place will do just fine. However there are no extras or frills. Only two outdoor chairs with two tables that all needs updated. House was not very clean- ball of hair and dirt right in front of fridge on floor in kitchen when we arrived. Carpets are dirty and need replaced. No Wi-Fi or tv… which is not a huge deal because we were there to be on the lake, not watch TV but in this day and age, whodoesn’t at least provide Wi-Fi. Plenty of places to sleep but like I said, no extras.

Great neighborhood and close proximity to lake

Some deferred maintenance and could be cleaner. Bath Mirror was Completely missing. 2 chairs broken. Otherwise well stocked kitchen. Reviews were accurate. Have stayed in other units in this development identical to this and those were much better maintained. Disappointed there was no place to have bonfire or even a gas fire pit would be fine if liability is an issue. I don’t want to be too hard on any business owner during these difficult times, however just fixing a few things would really make the unit a lot more comfortable.
