Unacceptable

The leach bed was draining down the hill, into the walk way to the boat at the fire pit. So everyday we went to the boat we had to walk threw it. We paid $60 for wood and could never have a fire. The rail on the top deck was very unstable, the last 8 feet of railing at the boat dock was missing. Hot tub & Water smelled like strong bleach. Its not in my opinion dog or kid friendly. No yard for either. I received an email after my payment was processed (non refundable) that it might not be water front access.

LOVE the lake, home not well kept.

We expected more from a Premier host. 1 bedroom had active water damage to an obviously repaired ceiling. It was soft and wet but not dripping. Some carpets were worn and wrinkled. Sliding door tracks and front door were filthy, baseboards dirty and dishwasher utensil basket broken, dropping all on the floor. The dw pod holder did not open in use. We just tossed the pod in the bottom but that's not ideal. There were maybe 6 mugs, 2 of them chipped. Most of the kitchenware, linens and furniture looked like garage sale stuff. We brought paper plates and used those exclusively. Linens were pretty well worn and nubby and bathroom and kitchen towels were too few. There was heavy dust on the TV stand which was packed full of partial games all helter-skelter. The main floor BR sink needed to be plunged to drain. There was blood on a mattress pad in the upstairs bedroom and a fresh fecal stain on a main floor bedspread. The upper house deck had no awning and was very hot in the afternoon. Most concerning were the rotted corner posts on most decking and stairs, and rotted decking planks on the upper (covered by a broken chaise) and lower docks. Positives: plenty of bedrooms, 2 refrigerators on 1 floor, 3 large garbage cans w pick-up 3xwk, hot tub, location at end of the road with plenty of parking. We've stayed in other homes on this wonderful lake that were better stocked, cleaner and safer. We still greatly enjoyed our stay and made great memories.

Great location

The pictures on VRBO are not updated. Some carpet has been remove, have nice flooring. The bed linens haven’t been update. Old and stained. Could use a good deep cleaning such as baseboards, ceiling fans, walls, registers, etc. There isn’t an air hockey game as shown in pictures only board games.

Summer Vacation

We had an extended family vacation and really liked this property. It is in more of a secluded part of the lake in a smaller inlet, but still deep enough to take the slide off the deck into the lake. It is close to the jump bridge too. The hot tub may just need more frequent cleaning but we still used it an enjoyed it. The community pool was used for the little ones too. Just be careful as there are a lot of steep hills so getting around usually takes a vehicle. Great property to stay at!

It’s a nice place but way to expensive

The cabin is nice but not worth the daily rate. There were no towels in the cabin and there were supposed to be. When I asked the property owner to give us some I never heard from him again. The dock is also nice but has a hole in the upper deck that could be dangerous.
