Would have been better with some minor upkeep. Biggest complaint was the number of spiders inside the house. The beach needs some upkeep. We cleaned up some of the debris and weeds, but there were still weeds that were large and need to be pulled. Once the beach was cleaned up, the kids had fun playing in the sand. The water was pretty clean and the views of sunrise and sunset are amazing. ##### David C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle S.

Jul 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun Place for a Family We are a family of nine who stayed in this house for five nights. The house is really nice and it is close to everything. The beach area in front of the house was a great spot for our jet skis and the boat ramp was only a block away so very convenient. There is a park with hiking trails within a mile of the property and the little shops and main part of town are only about a mile away also. The house is stocked well with plenty of cooking utensils, pans, etc. We used paper plates and plastic cups so I am not sure about the dinnerware. There were plenty of blankets, towels and sheets and there is a washer dryer there to use. The road between the house and the beach was a concern but we just watched the children closely when they crossed either way. The lake is beautiful with clear water (when we were there) and just had a little algae. It is a big lake and we had a lot of fun riding the jet skis and tubing. ##### Rebecca F. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Family vacation We had a great family vacation and this place was a great central location. The size of the place worked well for us. The nightly rate was fair, but after all the fees i feel it wasn’t a good value. The place was pretty clean, but the shower had moldy caulking, the linen closet had a spider webs so you didn’t feel the bedding was the cleanest and some of the window sils were quite dirty. The pullout couch in the living room had so many stains and smelled like mildew. The main floor toilet wasn’t working correctly from the beginning and the property manager was quick to respond when I informed him. Also, the house is not 17 steps (I believe that’s what the description states) from the water as there’s a road between the house and the water. I also recommend they add some house numbers so when you first arrive you know you’re at the right place. The house is a cute old home and the layout worked great for us. They provided plenty of towels, the kitchen was nicely stocked and keypad entries were nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brooke K. Aug 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### An updated listing would be beneficial, but still a good place! Thanks for a great stay! We had a great time at the house, and it was a good space for our group. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen items as well as bathroom towels, bedroom linens, kid’s toys, and large outside and indoor table. The backyard was nice, and the grill and play set were enjoyed. We also appreciated the washer and dryer. The dock was nice to use and tie up our boat every now and then. The close boat ramp was nice too. There are a couple things to note that we were disappointed about: there is a road between the house and beach area, the fire pit is not by the creek in the backyard but rather across the road near the beach area, there were no stairs down to the dock (it’s a rocky climb/descent) and the steps in the house upstairs to the bedrooms are very steep. The area where the fire pit was was small over there, didn’t have wood, and didn’t allow all our family to sit around it, so we ended up not using it, which was disappointing. Also to note, there is only one shower and it’s upstairs, which didn’t work well for grandparents since the stairs are so steep, and it didn’t have a bathtub bottom. The third bedroom upstairs did not have a window air conditioner, so it was rather warm even with two fans running. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Thanks so much! ##### Brooke K. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Wayne S. Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice location, close to beach Overall it was a nice stay. The location with the lake view was very nice and picturesque. The kitchen was well-equipped and the beds, pillows, and furniture was all comfortable. The AC kept the place cool, even upstairs, so that was a plus in the summer. There were only a few problems. The property is old, and as with a lot of old houses, the floors seemed to slant in almost every room. Also, in the master bedroom there were only sheers on the front and side windows, whereas there were blinds in the other rooms and downstairs. There was a problem with the TV programming. When turned on, the TV was locked into Amazon Kids even though we followed the directions in the check-in guide. After consulting with the manager, we were finally able to watch TV. It was a little frustrating, in that it was advertised as having "Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO Now. All are signed in and ready to use." At night, the side entrance near the driveway was extremely dark and it was difficult to go up the steps without using our cell phone flashlights. Lastly, the property was a little short on basic paper products (TP, paper towels, napkins). But other than those minor inconveniences, I would say that it was a pleasant stay, with close proximity to the beach, shopping and restaurants in Glenwood. ##### Wayne S.

Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great lakeshore property to stay in I'd definitely stay here again. We had a family of 6 adults and 4 kids and a small dog and loved staying here Pros: the property mgr was QUICK to reply to needs/ques and gave us his cell#. close to town, boat ramp and public beach, large kitchen and large living room, washer/dryer were nice, the shower was large with great water pressure, the dock, view of sunsets, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath &beach towels, firepit & chairs, large deck on the backside of house, internet/TV's, fans and AC units, Cutco knives! and we could bring our small cavapoo :) Cons: there needs to be STEPS TO THE DOCK (walking on boulders is an accident/injury waiting to happen) the two couches in the living room need replaced (stained and very uncomfortable), the overall upkeep of the property was poor (landscaping, tacky/sticky paint throughout the house, shower grout, felt unclean), kitchen needs decluttered (it was well stocked but cabinets, drawer and counters were full, items could be removed such as the excess spices and amount of small skillets and glasses), no outdoor electrical outlet (need this for cleaning fish), the guest book needs info on how to access the basement in the event of a storm or circuit panel access (we found the key but it should be listed in the book), also the codes for the TV should be listed (we texted the property mgr but he replies FAST so it all worked out), the road betw the house and lake may deter some but it didn't bother us ##### CHRISTINE K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### John K. Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Town I would say that it was a nice place and for an old house was nice. Our grand kids loved all the toys and puzzles. We knew there was a road between the house and the lake when we booked. The dock is nice, but no boat lift. The stairs are typical of an older home very steep. the kitchen was spacious and nice. Over all I gave 4 stars. The one thing I had issues with was TVs there were numerous remotes, which in a streaming world is expected, but the instructions for use were basically a couple of lines in a book. The real issue is the instructions say that everything is signed in and ready to use. That wasn't true as it was not possible to get past the need for an access code to access the streaming service that would have shown TNT and the Wolves playoff game. A request to the property manager provided an access code that was for kids access, but did not work for Prime Video. I would offer that this issue was the only thing that dampened our stay. I think in today's world it should be possible to provide and change access codes between tenants. These codes should accompany the welcome packet which should be sent prior to arrival. I think this issue is very fixable, so take it as a suggestion for an improvement rather than a complete negative. Thanks for providing the opportunity to rent. ##### John K.

A few cobwebs here and there can be expected, but we killed at least 20 spiders upon our arrival - hanging out in every corner. There was no AC in one of the bedrooms. The shower curtain fell every time we used it. The beach was covered in weeds and trash - not a place I would want my kids to play. Since we couldn’t lay in the sand as planned, we carried the Adirondack chairs down to the beach just to find nearly every one was badly broken (we ended up sitting on the dock instead). Now to the misleading description. “15 steps to the lake” is actually closer to 100(+) - cross a busy road, walk over to some steps, veer back around to get to the beach. The deck overlooked the backyard - not the lake. These things would be fine had they been accurately portrayed, but I would be extremely disappointed had I booked this for my family with the thought I could grill out while my kids play on the beach 15 steps away. The positives - the house was well-stocked and cute if had been more thoroughly cleaned, the beach would be great if was maintained, and proximity to town was great. I’d personally consider adding a fire pit across the street to be able to have fires overlooking the lake, but that’s a personal preference. Overall, just didn’t meet the mark on the last places we’ve stayed. ##### Brittany M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley R.
