Waterfront Vandalia House w/ Dock on Donnell Lake!

Reviews

• Can’t wait to go back. Perfect Galveston getaway!

  5/5

  Exceeded our expectations for a weekend getaway! The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The pool area was beautiful and well-maintained, and the short walk to the beach made it easy to come and go throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or a more relaxing stay. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

• Lake Getaway

  4/5

  Property was as advertised. Everything was satisfactory. We were there during a very hot week of 95 degree weather which made the lake that much more desirable, but the ac had a hard time keeping up with the great room, & loft areas. We were able to catch sunfish, perch and bass right off of the dock. We would definitely return.

  Manager's Response:

  From the Owner: "Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed fishing right off the dock and that you would return. The air conditioning unit was checked and confirmed to be in good working order before the season began. However, during extremely hot and humid weeks, with heat indexes reaching 100°F or more, the system can struggle to keep the great room and loft areas as cool as smaller rooms.
  
  To help maintain a comfortable temperature, we recommend keeping the sliders and windows closed, adjusting the mini blinds to block direct sunlight, and using the ceiling fans (located in each bedroom, the kitchen, great room, and game room) as well as the stand fan to keep the air circulating."

• Large Airy Common Space, Plenty of Comfy Seating

  5/5

  We rented for my family plus to stay for weekend Wedding at Camp Tannadoonah. After checking in we decided to pivot the place for all the girls to get ready for the big event at this lakehouse because it was perfect! Lots of room for two makeup artists and two hair stylists to ready up eight girls with lovely natural light coming in the plentiful floor to ceiling windows. It will make for great photos!!! Also the deck with lake backdrop, perfect for photos. Lots of comfy seating for everyone! Beds were to my liking, with two of the bedrooms on the first floor, so great! Both bathrooms are very large and complete. Kitchen feels loved and lived in with plenty of glasses, mugs, plates to use. Long driveway for nice safe parking. Owner was very quick to respond to each question I had. I feel very lucky to have picked Evolve and this particular lakehouse for our perfect occasion. Thank you!

• Nice!

  4/5

  The Vandalia home is clean, spacious and very nice. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies and appliances. The rooms were very nice and the loft bedroom is huge! If not for the boat dock in need for repairs I would have given 5 stars. The location, although far from any decent grocery shopping is very nice. The lake is very clean but be careful with your boat as there are some shallow areas (I actually bent my prop by the boat ramp). Overall it was a fantastic week in Vandalia!

• Dock

  4/5

  I complained about the dock last year and once again the dock needs to be repaired! It would only take a few new bolts and level it off to make it much safer to use. The rest of our stay was excellent! Looking forward to going back next year!
