The location is lovely and the home is very spacious with lots of amenities. However, the home is very dated and needs some basic upgrades to make it more guest-friendly. The pocket doors in the bedrooms were nearly unusable; they're impossible to grip, they leave a gap in between them when closed and the lock was broken so there's no privacy. Even drilling a few pull handles would make them more usable, but the better idea would be to outfit the bedrooms with proper doors. The kitchen is very dated, the rainfall-style showerhead in the upstairs bathroom may look nice but is practically useless considering the water pressure, which makes for a very chilly shower considering the cavernous and drafty shower stall. The same bedroom also didn't appear to have any vents in it and would get very cold compared to the rest of the house; please consider at least some thicker bedding for your guests, because the paper-thin quilt did nothing to help. We weren't able to use the fireplace at all because some sort of key was required to turn it on inside the fireplace itself and that wasn't provided to us. Cheap pictures hang on the walls and easily fall down, there are stains on the carpeted areas (why would you have carpeting in a pet-friendly property?), and the house could use a good pressure wash on the exterior. We enjoyed our stay thanks to the activities we did, but the home itself was a bit of a let down considering the price.

Lovely Home and Visit

One of the nicest pet-friendly house rentals I've stayed at. Very clean. Lots of space for everyone to spread out, do things together, or get some alone time if needed. Beautiful deck overlooking the lake. Well stocked with plenty of decent dishes, utensils, glasses, etc. Management company was very responsive on one issue we had with a shower; came quickly and fixed it. If we're ever back that way we would definitely stay here again.

The house was lovely and very functional. The kitchen was fantastic with quality cookware. The hottub was fairly clean and temp. Perfect. My only disappointment was the waterfront. Water is shallow and the shoreline could use some clean-up. We had our dogs with us and they enjoyed it thoroughly.Over-all, it was a very nice property but I wouldn't attempt to swim there. We did enjoy the water view. The front door needs some attention as it was difficult to operate the lock.

peaceful vacation

We stayed here labor day weekend to attend a wedding in the area, and a short mini vacation from home. It was plenty of space for a party of 10. The house was beautiful and maintained. It was a nice opened concept. The kitchen was stocked with a lot of extra appliances. The basement had an extra living room that the kids hung out at. We rented a boat for the weekend, and was able to keep at the property since there was a dock. I would definitely recommend renting this place.

Lake front but would be hard to swim off shore. There is a community dock right to the left of the backyard. House was awesome. Huge kitchen with tons of appliances. We did see bears trying to get in the garbage bin so just keep an eye out. Overall we had an amazing time and for sure would go back

Great time with all the family for Christmas

Loved the property. It was perfect for our family of cooking eating. The kitchen size was awesome and very well equipped. Only small issue was the night before our arrival the area utilities backed up in the laundry room. This overflowed into the carpet in the family room in the basement. The rental agency had servicepro come in and vacuum up the water, sit up blowers and a dehumifier. The equipment was noisey and everyone had to wear shoes otherwise their socks got wet from the wet carpet. All of this caused the maid service to be running behind so we were delayed in getting in the house. Otherwise a great property with the hot tub and fire pit. We will consider this house again for future Christmas vacations.

Family Fun

The property and home are beautiful. We had enough space for everyone to feel comfortable and relaxed. The sauna and hot tub were a nice bonus. The inside of the house was immaculate and had more amenities than noted on the description. For instance, the property has two kayaks, a wide variety of board games, books, and movies. The kitchen provides all needed dish ware and cooking items. The kids loved the pool table. A few suggestions: replace the sofa bed mattresses (they are extremely thin and uncomfortable), put towels and sheets in plain view in all areas, provide additional pillowcases and blankets, and clean off the porch leaves before people check-in. Overall, our trip was amazing and the home was big enough for four families. I would highly recommend this property. We will be back soon.

Great Location!

The house was fantastic, and dog friendly! The quiet cove was exactly what we were looking for. There are neighbors nearby, but it still felt private. Everything in the kitchen was perfectly clean. I didn't feel like I need to clean the pan or rinse the utensil before using it. We will definitely be back.
