  • Lots I'd Room!

    4/5

    Overall would rate the home 4/5. Kudos for being well stocked, literally any kitchen supplies you could possibly need. 2nd fridge and ice machine were huge pluses.

    We appreciated that there was propane in stock, and not just empty containers like we've experienced at other rentals. We were a bit disappointed to see that the main gas grill was completely burnt through the pans, making it unusable unless you wanted to start a fire. This left a smoker that was also very very dirty, and a flat top grill who's grease trap has never been emptied to the point there is a pool of grease on the porch.

    Lots of kids toys, but a lot of things weren't usable as they were broken or worn out. When stripping Linens as requested at checkout, we discovered a blood stain on the master bedroom mattress that left me a bit uneasy. Life happens but maybe invest in a waterproof mattress cover to help with those accidents.

    Pool and hot tub were great, the kids loved them both. Fishing access was also convenient and beautiful.

    Overall this home is a GREAT family rental. Owner was quick to communicate and was very friendly. I think the only constructive feedback would just be regarding upkeep and housekeeping. Getting rid of broken/damaged items and maintaining other amenities a bit better such as the grills. It's set up to host larger groups/families, so is naturally ridden a bit harder. Just needs a bit more on the upkeep side and this place would be flawless.

  • Great family space

    5/5

    Property owner was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. My nephew loved the kids kampout loft! And the giant Christmas tree was a perfect (surprising) touch!

  • Very pretty property!

    5/5

    Lots of amenities and fun stuff to do and see. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and supplies. Didn't realize Hwy 14 was so busy so the car noise was a little distracting but there were many deer and owls that it was still a great getaway from the city. Thank you for a fantastic ladies weekend!

    5/5

    My family and I absolutely loved the place. There an issue at first with the A/C not working properly, but Sam was quick to respond and helped us get it fixed and then it worked great the rest of the time.

    One suggestion I would make, however. The covers on the lights on the outside of the house and the porch are full of bugs and need cleaning badly. My son was concerned the could catch fire.

    Overall, our stay there was wonderful and we made some wonderful memories and look forward to making this an annual event for our family. Thanks to the owners, too, for anticipating what someone may need. Seems they thought of everything. This was truly a great experience. Thank you.
