We had a great time at this rental. The accommodation was great, and served our family well. We caught lots of fish at the dock and enjoyed time on the lake with our boats. Would stay here again.

Buddies fishing trip

The house had more than enough space for our group of guys that came together for a fishing trip. The dock was a good place to sit and unwind while having a hook in the water. The location was great!

A lot of extras

Property as described/pictured. Accommodated 12 of us easily. A lot to do here, too many amenities to take advantage of! Pool table, game room, media room with karaoke! Used outdoor firepit (very nice). You gotta try the zip line too. Will stay here again if in the area.

Large & Beautiful Cabin

This cabin had more than enough room for our large family. It was so spacious and beautiful. It’s located on a quiet dead end road. The pier was amazing & we caught so many fish! We would definitely stay here again.

Very spacious

The house itself is very pretty and had plenty of room for all of us. It needs some upgrades (like the couches). We couldn’t find pot holders in either kitchen and there wasn’t enough towels to have to use them for everything. The zip line needs to have some sort of braking mechanism. The spring on it was not strong enough to stop anyone. The bunk room had a sewage smell that would linger through the whole house. Overall if these small things could be fixed, it’s an amazing house. We loved that it was waterfront and had plenty of space for the kids to run and play.

Thanksgiving

My family rented this house for Thanksgiving. The information on this property said 2 fully stocked kitchens which was a joke! There weren’t any knives, mixing bowls, or bakeware. Paper products were supposed to be provided but they only left half full rows on the holders but nothings to replenish with. The house was beautiful but so dusty and so many insects.

Has Potential; Needs TLC

I wish I could post pictures. Mold near downstairs shower, black scuffs on walls throughout house. Exposed wires from uncovered outlets. Ceiling fan/light wouldn’t turn on in upstairs master bed. Master bed smelt of Raid (bug poison). Shampoo/body wash bottles were half empty. Found crumbs and trash that had been left prior to our arrival. Several light bulbs need to be replaced. Kitchen drawers and cabinets dirty. Offers great amenities, but seriously needs to be cleaned and cared for.

Communication was far and in between sent several emails to try and get a 2hr earlier check in and never got a answer back. The lawn wasn’t mowed and all of the flower beds were in need of care alot of poison ivy in them and hanging in walk way. The boat dock was horrible spider and cobwebs everywhere and broken boards. The ac in the karaoke room didn’t cool well I called and was told it did. The house was nice and adequate on the inside.

Long weekend Lake trip

Labor Day weekend at the lake with family. This house is large! Beds and bedrooms everywhere. 2 kitchens, 2 living areas plus the Karaoke/theater room. Downstairs living area could use more seating. There’s also a one room guest house-thing. We did not use this. Ceiling is in need of repair. Slight musty smell. It’s on the lake, does have a dock. It’s in need of some major cleaning and minor repairs. The inside was fairly clean. The outside…well, no. It’s in need of serious cleaning. I had to cut briars and vines off the steps and walkway out back so my 18 month old grandkid didn’t get into them. There are more good things than bad with this rental. Pool, table tennis, foosball..kept kids busy indoors. Zipline and large yard were great. Nice fire pit. (we did not use) Neighborhood was quiet. Plenty of parking. All-in-all, we enjoyed our trip and had plenty of room in this house. Gave 5 stars for communication with property manager…but we didn’t communicate. I got check in directions and check out list. Period.

Yuck! Spiders and mildew everywhere!

At this price point, this is unacceptable! The pier was rotten, covered in spiders and a hazardous. The outside of the house look like Charolette’s Web! I can not describe how nasty and overgrown it was. Our deer camp does not get this nasty from season to season. This is years of neglect! We found spoiled food in the cabinets and mildew in the bathrooms. Septic and sewer system was not working properly. One of the shower doors was broken. An upstairs bedroom smelled of dog/cat urine even though pets are not allowed. We finally decided it must of been a cat since my youngest is allergic and spent the entire week fighting allergies. Homeowner did respond, but only made excuses no effort to make things right. I never write reviews, but I have rented countless places through VRBO and other agencies this by far is the worst rental I have ever seen. The house has such potential it is a shame! Do not expect to have access to a garage as advertised. There’s a boat parked in it and there is no where for a RV to park or hook up. Our uncle stopped for one night and ended up staying at an RV park 15 miles away! Definitely not the house that is advertised other than lots of beds and two decent kitchens. Thankful our families and kids are from the county and used to getting bug bites. We are going home with many unexplained bites! I have many more pictures, but can only load 8, since we stayed Memorial Day Weekend and the week following I would expect the house/pier to be ready!

Lake fork stay

Overall the house and outside rooms were awesome. We especially enjoyed the fishing from the dock, where the catfish were plentiful. The only reason I wouldn’t rate the property a 5 was because of the yard needing mowed. I actually spoke with the man mowing next door and had him mow a patch from the house to the dock so we wouldn’t be walking in high grass. The flower beds also needed some love but overall we had a fabulous time.

Great experience!

This property had a little something for everyone. Between the technology, the recreation, and the lake, it was beautiful and fun. We had some challenges with fans and lights and remotes that weren’t properly programmed, so we could only have the fan on if the lights were on in the upstairs bedrooms. And in general, the upstairs was too hot, not cooling off even when we turned down the thermostat. We also had to go to Walmart to buy a few of the table games pieces, but the owner paid me back and was highly responsive. So again, overall good experience.

Very disappointing

The first message I left for land manager his voicemail was full and couldn’t get a hold of. No toilet paper or paper towels, coffee pot didn’t work , had a dead rat smell piped thru the whole house making people sick or the septic was compromised. trash on back balcony of old ceiling fan upstairs , back porch swing had a broken arm handle which was dangerous . Trash of old shoes on back porch. No coffee cups, no baking pans, no wine glasses or opener. Latch was broke on outside king room where it didn’t even shut or lock. No light or ceiling fan in up stairs master bedroom., so ran into the glass shelf’s on the wall since couldn’t see. The dock had one whole side railing off which is a hazard Made numerous trips to store getting all supplies it advertised that it came with and didn’t. Was not a 2 car garage to park in. There was too much junk piled in garage for 2 cars. The $$$$ for the week end it was a joke. We left a day early because the smell was so bad. Really need some reimbursement for this place.
