The kitchen was great and had everything we needed. The bunk beds were shaky so didn’t use the top bunk. The upstairs was very hot to sleep up there. The house had AC but appeared to only cool downstairs - main level. The deck was great to use but hazardous needs to be fixed and railing was a little shaky. Very close up the club - however we found Fly In Lake to be the better option. They were pet friendly which we appreciated. We did see a bear and her two cubs the second night there while sitting outside - she was attempting to get into the bear proof garbage container at the end of the driveway. Fortunately she continued onto another property and didn’t come up to the house. ##### Maretta Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mito G. Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable setting Kitchen was great for preparing dinners and the deck was perfect for dining. Easy walk to recreation center. The guest bed was a tad hard so we had to put some padding. Otherwise the house, host and overall experience was enjoyable ##### Mito G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah D. Jul 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house and location Beautiful home with plenty of space and stocked with tons of games and books for kids. Easy access to community pool and play area. Small fee to use pool but very friendly staff with great activities for kids! Already trying to plan another trip! ##### Deborah D.
