  • Gorgeous Views and Spacious

    4/5

    We had a great time at the property. It was spacious and the views of the lake were amazing. Downside is getting down to the water -the steps were steep which was not easy for smaller children or the elderly. Also the master bedroom gets very hot on warm days and the AC doesn't quite work in that room (the rest of the house was able to get cool). Definitely in need of some upgrades including some easy fixes like new mattresses, bedding. But overall we enjoyed our experience.

  • Comfortable stay with great views! Reason for 4 not 5 stars

    4/5

    We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. Beautiful views of lake ( although we had rough weather for all 5 days of our stay). Loved the open up north feel of property and we all had our private spaces to retreat to. The large kitchen table was the hub of activity through much of our stay - beautiful!

    The owner was very responsive to a special request we had once we were staying there.

    Reasoning for 4 stars and not 5 -Only negative is pricing. We booked this rental last November for an out of town extended family get a way. As time got closer to our stay, I noticed the price dropped dramatically along with the exorbitant extra fees. I contacted both property management, VRBO and owner.

    Did not hear back from VRBO and property management until day before we were to arrive. All would not budge on pricing. This was not what we expected, as we were not staying quite at peak season and as it got closer to peak, pricing was so much lower. I may think twice prior to booking again, even though property was very nice and ideal size - due to feeling taken advantage of.

    From the owner: "We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! We do understand the concern for rates having fluctuated closer to your stay. We have a management company that modifies nightly rates based on supply and demand in the area. That said the fees are 100% transparent before any booking and the guest locks in the rate upon booking."
