Great Lake house

We needed a get away and this was perfect. Not the latest of anything, but super comfy, the views of the lake are great and the Deck is epic. Would like to come back.

We were so pleased we'd chosen this property. The house was immaculate and worked well for our family. There are two bedrooms and a bath downstairs and one bedroom and a bath upstairs. The kitchen was well-stocked. And we had a surprise bonus in the use of a pool table and ping-pong. The owners were very communicative, and we appreciated their helpful reminder the morning we left of what the expectations were. We would definitely choose to stay here again should we be in the area.

The perfect place to stay in American Falls!

Beautiful views, charming house and just a great overall experience! We had my daughter's graduation party here and stayed for a couple nights. None of us wanted to leave! Host was very responsive and accommodating.

Property review

The inside of the house was very well done and clean. The outside needs some work. The deck railing are falling apart and the deck needs some repair. The owners are very nice people and we’re on top of the yard care. The view of the lake is wonderful and our overall stay was enjoyable.

Most amazing host and property

I needed to make a last minute change for my daughter's wedding venue and was absolutely panicked. Luckily i just happened to find this place. The host were so helpful and let us set up for the wedding outside early. They literally saved the day! It was beautiful! The property is amazing and the house was absolutely beautiful.

Didn't Stay

I rented this lakeside house in American Falls, Idaho through VRBO for 4 nights starting on July 7th. I texted the owner on July 6th to get the check in details. The following morning, we left Utah. I texted the owner then called and left a message. We began to get concerned after texting and calling 2 more times with no response. We arrived at the house at check in time which was 4:00, no one was there. Finally, I called VRBO and explained the situation. VRBO tried to contact the owner with no success. We requested a refund then drove another 90 miles to Twin Falls as there were no hotels available in American Falls. At 6:00 that evening I got a text from the owner stating he had been the mountains since July 3rd and had no cell service. By not being considerate enough to take care of that little detail of telling us how to get in before he got out of range, we spent 2 nights in hotels before we could get accommodations for somewhere to stay. We had to rearrange the rest of our trip, and cut in short by 3 days. Our vacation was planned 6 mos. ahead and was thrown into disarray due to the owner. I hope he plans better for the future!

Family stay

Beautiful property! The pictures dont do justice. The host was easily available and friendly. The reason I didnt give 5 stars: the deck was in rough shape, my kiddo tore his toenail off from a screw that was sticking out.

Cottage on the Lake

We had a lovely stay at the cottage on the lake. We had three couples. We went to American Falls for a family get together so we were not at the cottage a lot. We loved the view and the large lawn. We did enjoy the ping pong table. The kitchen was great and we had plenty of room. Be aware that the third bedroom is a loft room upstairs with no door, which was fine with us, but noise did carry upstairs.
