• Family Getaway...

  4/5

  There were 9 of us - 5 adults and 4 children. House was just the right size - kids (3 age 7 and one age 10) all wanted top bunks, but everything worked out. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and dishes. Two kayaks and a Stand-Up Paddleboard got lots of use. The game room above the garage would perfect for a rainy day - we had perfect weather and didn't need it. We took a day trip to Kathio State Park, climbed the fire tower and fed the mosquitos - worth the drive and bugs bites. The kids (with Grampa's help) caught lots of bluegills and sunfish off the dock. All enjoyed the stay.

• Highly recommend for families!

  5/5

  This place was perfect for our family gathering! Our group included 2 families (including 7 kids ranging in age from 0-14) and a grandmother. Everyone had a blast! The older kids (even the teens!) loved fishing off the dock (it's such great fishing) and the kayak and paddleboard were wonderful to have! The home is pretty well stocked with dishes, clean, nice and spacious (the master is awesome with a great view - the 3 queen bedrooms are small but sufficient). There is fire wood available for the fire pit that sits overlooking the dock and the water! The bonus/game room above the garage would be perfect for a rainy day. Cute bait shop just down the road. Highly recommend!

• Great place for a weekend away

  3/5

  House was great and spacious. Could’ve been a little cleaner, but not awful. Would recommend supplying a little more cleaning supplies just under the kitchen sink to allow other guests to clean up while staying… Clorox wipes, a vacuum that works, extra hand towels ….all would’ve been great. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. The garage and games were an awesome bonus and the paddle boards and kayaks were a hit! But you do have to walk about a 100 yards through the water/weeds if you want to be out in the lake!

  Hi Kristen, the homeowner has asked us to pass along the following response: "We appreciate this feedback. The lake is unusually low this year so the weeds are much worse than usual. We had a weed removal company come out and clear a 2000-square-foot swimming area next to the shore/dock as well as a 10-foot wide channel to the lake immediately after your stay. We just purchased a new Eureka bagless vacuum with a cord to supplement the cordless vacuum you're referencing, and it has incredible suction power. We have restocked all of the supplies and added Clorox wipes for our guest's convenience. We will ask our cleaners to leave out more hand towels for guests. However, we do provide a washer/dryer with detergent and dryer sheets in case guests run out of clean towels/hand towels during their stay as well. We are sorry your stay fell short of 5 stars. We have taken steps to ensure a 5-star stay for future guests. We appreciate you staying with us and hope you'll let us make it up to you in the future. Thank you!"

• Christmas Time Together

  3/5

  The property itself was awesome! We loved the space! We enjoyed both the house and the game room and also enjoyed the outdoor space! The process to check in was easy but asked a few questions that never got answered. It was a snow storm and the driveway was cleared before we got there and checked a couple times while we were there! Okay onto our cons: if you offer hide a beds and blow up beds. I feel that sheets, blankets and pillows should be offered. And that the blow up bed should hold air (even for a 2 year old). It had a hole in it and was sticky! Bathrooms all had a partial roll of toilet paper. We reserved for 8 adults and 6 babies. We would have brought toilet paper if we had known. Instead we had to go buy some. Also there weren't any hand towels for the bathrooms! If we had known we would have brought some. Made a Christmas meal that entailed mashed potatoes. The hand mixer didn't work. All in all. We loved our time. Just needed a few things that we are used to at all other places that we have stayed.

  Hi Dawn j, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're sorry that you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We're sorry to hear your stay fell short of your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback. This feedback is critical in helping us identify areas in need of improvement.
  - We were not aware that the air bed had a hole or the hand mixer was broken, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and have since replaced the hand mixer and removed the air bed. Our Lake House will still sleep a total of 16 guests, including the pull out couch.
  - Sheets, blankets, and pillows for the pull out bed can be found located in the upstairs living room closet next to the exterior door.
  - We have followed up with our cleaning service and notified them that partial rolls of toilet paper are not acceptable and to ensure hand towels are left out for our guest's use, as this is customary.
  - We're happy to hear that you loved your time at our place, despite the shortcomings, and hope you will give us the opportunity to provide you with a 5-star experience that you truly deserve in the future. Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Edgewater Escape, we truly appreciate it.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.
