Overall it’s a good stay. We really enjoyed the lake view from the kitchen window. We wished the shower water could be warmer so we could have had a nice hot shower starting the day and before going to bed. Shower temperatures should be bumped up during the cold season. Also the ground at the fire pit is rough and not level. Hopefully they can level it off so sitting around the pit is more enjoyable. ##### Fred B.

The only thing that bothered us was you couldn’t turn the thermostat down below 70. We’re very cold natured people and it being summer and 80+ degrees outside that was an issue. The hot water never got hot. Only lukewarm. Enough for us to take a shower, but not enjoy. The TV in the bedroom has been out since 5/10 according to the note. ##### Robert H.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Geoff A., Roswell, Georgia USA Aug 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Beware horrific extra fees - otherwise excellent stay in beautiful setting The advertised nightly price is highly misleading, as the total price for a 2-day weekend ended up being 96.4% higher than 2 days at the advertised rate, due to extra fees and taxes. Vrbo won't let me list the rates and fees in dollars, so I'll list them by percent surcharge over the total base rate for two nights: Cleaning fee: 24.9% Service fee: 20.9% Reservation fee: 14.7% Damage protection "waiver": 14.9% Tax: 21.0% In what world do unadvertised fees and taxes nearly double the advertised price of a service or product? To put the outlay in round terms, we expected to pay about 2 benjamins a night for a total of about 4 benjamins for the weekend, but ended up paying nearly 8 benjamins for the weekend, which works out to be nearly 4 benjamins per night! In my opinion, charging 96.4% higher than the advertised rate, through unadvertised fees and taxes, is bait-and-switch and unethical. I discovered all the extra fees during the reservation process, after I'd already gotten my family excited about going. Also, the damage protection "waiver" was never refunded (as of 2 weeks after departure). We didn't damage anything, and we cleaned dishes and followed exit instructions to the letter. All these fees make a little weekend stay horrifically expensive. Small quibbles: master BR door does not latch / lock, and master BR ceiling fan is missing the speed chain control, so runs only on high speed. Homeowner or property manager should fix. Wi-Fi is slow (1.5 Mbps). Also we didn't receive the canoe lock code after submitting the required canoe risk waiver, so had to call the property manager the day after arriving to get the lock code. As for the positives: Weekend stay was otherwise exactly as promised, with a cozy cabin in a beautiful setting with good shade and overlooking a little lake. Hot tub and canoe were nice enhancements. Too bad that our most enduring memory is the exorbitant hidden fees. ##### Geoff A.
