I’ve been using VRBO/Home Alone for close to 20 years, so lots of properties. Let’s say Ok but needs some attention. The front storm door just won’t stay shut unless locked, cable tv is in description of cabin but Hulu (not live) is what’s on, Normally don’t care except after dark or if it’s raining and it was and it’s still hockey season (when I contacted owner to ask I got no response). It’s way past time to change that shower curtain liner!! Also thought bath toiletries were supposed to have been included?? Thankfully there was a dryer available bc our bathmats were extremely wet when we arrived.
The grass really needs mowed! Paddle boat at waters edge was nearly submerged and full of green water, it was unusable. It just seemed liked no one was really ready for us to visit! Check in and out was easy.

Hi Katherine, we want to make vacation rental easy for everyone, and we're sorry that you experienced some issues during your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- The TV is a smart TV with individual apps, so the cable has been removed from the listing description to reflect that
- The owner does provide toiletries but will be sure to restock them. A housekeeper cleans and sanitizes the property before each stay but the owner has contacted them to ensure the bathroom mats are ready for the next guest
- The excessive rain this season caused a bit of delay in mowing the lawn and ensuring the availability of the paddleboat. These issues have been addressed
Thank you for letting us know about your stay!
I had a very relaxing week

Property was awesome with the lake view and dock. So serene and relaxing! Left 2 jackets there and the property owner mailed them back in 4 days! Very impressed.

The property is located on a quiet, beautiful lake. We loved sitting on the dock to look at the stars and to watch the sun rise. The home is well stocked and has some thoughtful touches that made it extra special (a hammock, a portable speaker, life jackets, etc.).

Beautiful and quiet location with a great view! Very clean location that is great for fishing or checking out all of the nearby state parks!
