  • Lake house

    4/5

    The house was in a nice area. It had a lake behind the house which we came to fish but it was too many lily pads in the lake. I think new furniture is needed that you can be able to wipe off because it was dog hair left on the couches. overall, the place was great for me and my family. Everything else was great.

  • Clean up

    2/5

    House is in a great neighborhood. House smells of moth balls. Beds are terrible. Couches in den area are horrible. Deck is nice but needs repair. Boat Dock is scary. Lilly Pads everywhere. Very difficult to fish from and no way would you swim in that stuff. Neal is a nice man and his property location is great. All the homes sorrounding are beautiful. Boat dock area definitely needs to be cleaned up

    Manager's Response:

    Hi Gus, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the neighborhood and the property’s location, but we’re sorry that other aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they’d like to address the following:

    -They will be working with the cleaning team to address the mothball smell you mentioned.
    -The couches and mattresses are relatively new.
    -The boat dock area is kept natural to support the fish habitat; however, the homeowner has decided to do some cleaning up around the lake, including removing some of the lily pads and brush. They also plan to add lighting to the boat dock for added safety.
    -Additionally, the deck will be getting a fresh coat of paint to improve its appearance.

    Thank you for sharing your review. Your feedback assists us in understanding our guests' perspectives and improving wherever possible!

  • Great place to stay, beautiful views.

    5/5

    The surcharges made the day rate double, and the communication on trying to get the contact for the guy that managed the house was frustrating.

    Other than that the house was beautiful and we loved the stay.

  • GO FISH

    5/5

    If your family likes to gather and fish for a few days, this is the place for you. Large house with lots of room and big dining area. Good kitchen space and appliances. Dock has double boat stall, one good lift, and bank room to tie another boat or pontoon. You can kayak fish in the same arm of the dock and catch fish within 1/4 mile of the house. Local support for the house was exemplary. We'll try to come back again.
