Waterfront DeRuyter Home w/ Private Dock!

Reviews

• Lake side fun

  4/5

  Overall this property was good. Check in and out was easy and communication with the property manager was great. One big downside was the amount of webs and spiders inside the residence and dead gnats on the countertops that had been accumulating over time. Some of the areas the webs are are extremely high. Not a huge deal, we cleaned what we could reach and still had a blast. We took our 21' pontoon boat and used the dock. The dock was serviceable for our needs but def could use some attention. Lake views were gorgeous. All in all we would stay here again!

• We had a great Time and enjoyed the place on the water.

  5/5

  What caught my eyes was the fact that this place was right on the reservoir and we are able to use the dock as our own personal place to swim and enjoy ourselves. The property was well maintained and the owner was very pleasant to connect with back and forth. It was very quite there , no noise from other houses or people. We were within driving distance of all kinds of places. The internet speeds were very good. I have 3 kids and of course everyone was on the network and the speeds were excellent. I did bring my own Apple TVs with me as I have my own streaming sources I like to use while there was down time, but there was smart apps on the TVs. I will definitely be making reservations for next year. Thanks again.

• Mouse in the house

  1/5

  We were all so grossed out we left as soon as we could. They need to consider having professional cleaners to ready this property for rental. Views were great, we just couldn’t see it through the veil of cobwebs and spiders. The bonus room reeked of mildew. Refrigerator was dirty. Had to buy a mouse trap and set it out, 3 am it sprang shut. Random people showed up on our dock and patio to fish and blast music. Outside vegetation is very overgrown. We had to use fans as there is no AC…owner did buy one new one and the other two were covered in grime. Linens were clean. The bathroom shower situation is very odd and tight. Lots of dusty clutter throughout the house. Not fun when you have to clean every day. We have two families that own property on the lake…they came to visit and were disgusted with what they saw as they knew what it looked like with the previous owner. Shameful.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Mary, we appreciate your feedback, and we are committed to providing an excellent experience for our guests. Here are some insights from the homeowner:
  -The house is not equipped with air conditioning, as indicated in the listing. During your stay, the weather was exceptionally hot, with temperatures reaching the mid to high nineties, which unfortunately is beyond our control. We understand this may have been uncomfortable, and we had fans available in the house to help mitigate the heat.
  -Given the house's location directly on the water, it is naturally subject to insects. While we do treat the property to manage them, complete control over nature is not feasible.
  -We acknowledge your report of a mouse, which is the first of its kind. Despite our efforts to maintain cleanliness, this issue has since been addressed and resolved.
  -The interior and exterior of the house, especially the lakeside which spans three stories, are cleaned thoroughly within reasonable reach. We strive to prepare a clean and pleasant environment for all our guests before each rental.
  We strive to ensure that every guest enjoys the best possible stay, and we eagerly anticipate hosting many more satisfied guests at this property, as evidenced by our other reviews.

• Loved it
