Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Lake, Location & House Had a wonderful week at the Lake! Great house, beautiful interior, everything we needed was there, plenty of space for our multi-generational family to spread out. Outside porches were amazing. Dock was a hit with our teens. Location was awesome. Overall, could not have had a better week to unwind. Easy to recommend to others looking for a taste of lake life. Check in/out was super easy & convenient. You won't be disappointed with the lake, home or location. ##### Andrew C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W.

The location was perfect and the house immaculate. The house had everything you could need and more. The dock was incredible and the LilyPad a HUGE hit with the kids and adults! Thank you sooooo much! ##### Stephanie C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martin K. Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication The home itself is gorgeous; it’s thoughtfully designed, with a layout that invites both relaxation and connection. The kitchen was impressively stocked, making it easy to settle in and cook without the usual scavenger hunt for utensils. The refrigerator space is unmatched— not only a generous main fridge, but three additional refrigerators/freezers in the garage. That said, the experience wasn’t without its quirks.Most notably, the internet was completely down for the entire duration of our stay (week). This wasn’t just a minor hiccup — it disrupted work schedules. Despite repeated outreach, the property management company did not resolve the issue.Furthermore, the property was surprisingly stingy on essentials. Each guest was allotted just one bath towel and one washcloth, which felt more hostel than high-end rental. Detergents were minimal — barely enough dish soap or laundry detergent for a multi-day stay. And the toilet paper and paper towels were rationed to one roll per bathroom, despite our week-long booking. It created an unnecessary inconvenience that could easily be remedied with a bit more generosity.Cleanliness was acceptable, but not impressive. While the main surfaces were tidy, we encountered spiders and roaches, and the curtains were visibly dirty.A particularly serious challenge occurred when a pot-filling spigot broke, causing continuous water flooding. The property management team struggled to identify the location of the main water shut-off valve. ##### Martin K. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan S.
