Clean & comfortable home with wonderful outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful views and the lake. Loved using the kayaks to enjoy the lake and sitting and relaxing on the deck overlooking the lake. Good quality bedding and towels as well and well stocked kitchen.
Little things here and there that made this property unclean. There were dead nats sticking to the hood above the stove and on the wall next to the TV. There were cobwebs in the corners of the primary bathroom. As I can appreciate the big sticky pad behind the primary nightstand it was full of bugs. Would have been a good idea to change that it before guests arrive.
Even though there was a storm 2 nights prior to, the deck was full of debris and not blown or swept off.
The decor was a hodgepodge of furniture bc we had plenty of time to look at everything around the house as there was no internet or TV from the storm, which was not their fault.
Just not up to the standards of other rentals I’ve stayed in comparison.
On the positive note, they had power after the storm and the shower gel smelled amazing!

Hi Gary, we’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. After reviewing your feedback, we followed up with the homeowner, who would like to share the following:
-We appreciate your insights about your stay. Our property managers will conduct a thorough review of our cleaning procedures to ensure that any issues, such as gnats, cobwebs, and sticky pads, are promptly addressed. We take cleanliness very seriously and are committed to maintaining a comfortable environment for our guests.
-We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the storm, which unfortunately affected your ability to check in on your first night. As you noted, this situation was beyond our control, and we understand how frustrating it must have been. In light of these circumstances, we issued a full refund for that night to help alleviate any inconvenience you experienced.
-Our property managers work diligently to clean the deck before each rental to ensure it is welcoming for our guests. However, given the property’s wooded surroundings, it can be challenging to keep the deck completely free of natural debris such as leaves and twigs. We strive to maintain an inviting outdoor space, though the forces of nature can occasionally be unpredictable.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We truly appreciate your feedback!
The property is beautiful but we spent the 1st day cleaning the entire porch and outdoor cook area. The ants are understandable to a point becuase of the trees and type of environment but there were a lot of ants and spiders. The webs were caked on everything. The house is cozy but the spider webs inside were disgusting when they were hanging from the bathroom lights and above the kitchen sink area. The chairs on the 2nd floor boat dock were broken and pieces of the chairs and toys laying around the boat dock.
The grill in the cook area was rotted out and the grates were filthy. Bring your own grill or a lot of charcoal to cook over the pit.
The property has a lot of potential if it were a little more taken care of.
Hi Brooke, we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. Your feedback is essential to us, and we've relayed your comments to the homeowner, who would like to address the following: We apologize that the property did not fully meet your expectations. As mentioned, given the home's location in the woods, some bugs in the outdoor areas are inevitable. However, we always strive to maintain the highest level of cleanliness and comfort for our guests. We're pleased to inform you that, since your stay, we’ve replaced the grill and completed a thorough deep clean of the dock to ensure these areas are in good condition. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better experience in the future.
We had a great stay, and look forward to coming back for another stay in the future. The only thing we didn’t like was the steep driveway. The walk back from the lake was rough. Other than that it was perfect, and we thank you!!
The place is really nice and fit our needs perfectly. The location and size of the place was great. We own rental property ourselves so we are familiar with how it works and what people expect. The out door furniture was not useable. It was so dirty, you could not even sit on the deck. Which we were meeting other family members at another house so to us wasn't a big deal but you need to know. Then the kids room in the bunk beds there were still candy wrappers from other guests left along the edges where the mattresses do not meet the frames. Then there were some stains on the Duvet covers in the kid's room as well. We just pulled them back and would not use them. They used blankets they brought. We really did like the place and would come again but you cannot correct things if you don't know about them, so we like to let you know. It is just a cleaning issue.
