Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location is everything Lake front and totally private; we fell asleep to the waves. The location is what makes this property incredible. We spent almost all of our time outside and enjoyed it thoroughly, including plenty of boats, chairs, and sand tots provided by the owner. There is a weirdly heavy infestation of fruit flies throughout the house that was unpleasant, some of the linens weren’t clean, and a few lights didn’t work. Peter was a responsive and gracious host! ##### Maryam M.

Although we initially had some issues upon our arrival and first day, our host Peter responded quickly to resolve them and we were able to move on and enjoy our week on the lake and in the surrounding area. Much time was spent on the deck overlooking the lake relaxing. We enjoyed the stand up paddleboards and kayaks that were provided. We were able to prepare all our meals right there at the house utilizing the grill and full kitchen. We kept the windows and doors open to enjoy the fresh air flowing through and the beautiful sounds of the lake. ##### Annette S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trish T. Aug 6, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It’s a “Home Boat”! Some people have lake homes and some people have house boats. This is a home boat wherein we were rocked to sleep at night by the sounds of the waves (without the rocking boat or sea sickness) but nestled snug inside a loving home. While I love a 5 star hotel and AC when we are Chicago, we all loved life with all the windows and doors open and the feeling of truly being in nature and sweeping the sand our boys dragged in right back out the door. Our boats, Peter and his family, deserve a 6 star rating for the hosts with the Mosts. ##### Trish T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna M.

Being right on the "crystal" clear waters of Crystal Lake - how can you beat it! Was great having the canoes and SUPs. Only reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars is there seemed to be a little fruit fly problem, but there were traps set up so it did get better and on our final day the downstairs bathroom plumbing was acting up - but since it was our last day and we had to be out by 10am, it didn't really affect us, but hopefully resolved for the next group. ##### William K.

Nice new updates like sliding doors and toilets, and looks like more updates in the works. The cottage is long along the lake so lots of views of the water, plus a nice deck, with shade when needed too. Nice dock with nice steps into the water. Pete, the owner was very responsive by text if needed. Situated about halfway between Frankfort and Buelah, on M22 ##### Jeff S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison M.

We’ve been coming to this area for the past 4 years and usually stay at Crystal Mountain, we had a larger group this year and decided to stay on the lake instead. Peters home was recently bought and renovated and so far we love what he did! The bedroom addition was a genius idea, the kids bunk room was perfect for our 5 kids. They loved having their own hang out. The kitchen had most of the the things we needed and there was plenty of seating throughout the living room. There were plenty of hooks throughout the house to hang items. We appreciated that! The outdoors was magical and truly what made our trip. We used the kayaks and paddle boards from sun up to sun down. Took advantage of the local marina to rent a boat. Swam off the dock. It was so quiet and tranquil. We never heard a peep neighbors. We will most certainly be back! ##### Allison M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephanie H. Jul 29, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun on the water! There were many things about this property that we thoroughly enjoyed. My 7 year old grandson had the time of his life on the lily pad not far from the dock. For the 1 1/2 year old, there was a sand area with a bench to sit on and sand toys to play with. The inside is as pictured on the web site. It fit our family of 8 perfectly. In the kitchen, outside of the refrigerator, they did not have any space for can goods. We just kept everything out on the countertop. The one problem we had was with the comfort of the beds. A couple of them were very uncomfortable. If I had known this I would have brought bed toppers to make my stay more enjoyable. The younger family members handled it just find. The queen bedroom with the lake view, was the most uncomfortable. However, the outside water area was perfect! ##### Stephanie H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Karen B. Sep 1, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointing experience! Upon check-in, we noticed the house was unkept & extremely dirty. The home carried a strong musty/mildew odor & felt damp. We immediately noticed mouse droppings on the floor, cabinets, as well as the drawers that contained silverware and utensils. The windows & slider doors were filthy & were littered with spiderwebs, dirt, & dead bugs. Both of the slider doors facing the lake would not lock, which created a safety concern. Both the upper & lower decks were covered in spiderwebs and hadn't been cleaned for some time. This made enjoying a beautiful view a bit challenging especially when dodging deck spiders. Two of the beds contained dirty linens, hair, and were not fresh. Later in the week we noticed multiple cockroaches in the lower bedroom and dresser. The overall condition of the home and property was well short of our expectations. We immediately reached out to Peter and expressed our concerns. Rather than disrupting our stay, we agreed to address our concerns prior to check-out. On two occasions, Peter entered the house without our consent which was very concerning and a clear violation of VRBO's policy. Upon check out we reached out to Peter to mitigate the issues & come to a compromise. He quickly became agitated and either deflected or would not acknowledge the issues we identified & documented during our stay. Peter's attitude towards our complaints lacked empathy & he became combative. As long time VRBO renters we have never experienced such a disappointing stay. ##### Karen B.
