  Hi Lance, thanks for sharing your feedback on your recent stay. After reviewing your comments, the homeowner wanted to provide the following explanations:
  - The home has a 40-gallon water heater, and with multiple guests using hot water simultaneously, it may take some time to refill.
  - The upstairs AC units are window units, sized appropriately for the rooms, but we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the missing adjustment knob.
  - The sunroom is designed with large windows, two doors, a ceiling fan, and an additional floor fan for ventilation, but we're sorry that it felt unusable during your stay.
  - The upstairs bed frame is custom-made and doesn't support a box spring due to its height, but it has wooden plates for proper mattress support.
  - We are aware of the issue with the upstairs fan and will address it as soon as possible.
  Once again, we appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the guest experience.

• Great for my family

  5/5

  This was my family’s fifth year staying in a Vrbo. It ranks first with my family of 11. Enough bedrooms, mostly upstairs. Convenient kitchen. Beautiful backyard. Located far enough out but only a 15-20 minute drive to Sheboygan. We had a great time!

• Nobody likes a showboat

  3/5

  The sheer disappointment when walking into this property can not be understated. After reviewing many properties online, this one was the last available big enough to host our large group. We were excited about the amenities this property boasted. Upon entering the property, we were welcomed with large, gothic wall art, dimly lit and uninviting rooms and an eery sense of being watched. Approaching our stay with optimism, we proceeded to find that the showers reeked of sulfur. The hotter the water, the worse the smell. After killing spiders in our beds the night before, this was not a welcome experience the next morning. Thanks to inadequate window AC units, the whole of the house is hot while the rooms are an ice chest. After being excited to grill out with our group upon seeing a grill listed in the title of the listing, we were disappointed to find a rusted out, glorified wire rack for a “grill” in the backyard. No charcoal or any sort of accessories to utilize said grill, anyway. After disputing our discrepancies with the property owner, property manager and VRBO we were met with little effort and no resolve for our rather unpleasant experience. Avoid this property if you enjoy sanity

  Hi Karson, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -The photos of the property were taken earlier this year, and they accurately reflect the home, including recent updates like the outdoor sunroom area and bunk beds.
  -Each bedroom is equipped with ceiling fans and lights, as well as additional floor lamps to enhance lighting.
  -The property has well water, and a water softener was updated within the past five years to mitigate any sulfur smell. Unfortunately, some odor may still be present due to the nature of the well water.
  -Window A/C units are provided as stated in the listing, with a larger unit installed in the living room to help regulate the temperature on the lower level.
  -The grill is a charcoal grill as described, and while charcoal isn't provided, the necessary utensils are located in the kitchen drawer.
  We appreciate your feedback so we can continue to improve and help this homeowner provide guests with the 5-star service they are known for. We hope to host you again soon!

• Great Home

  5/5

  Our family does a yearly vacation and this place was our favorite of all. It is spacious and has a huge backyard for the kids to play. We are considering renting again next year. Lots to do around the area.

• On the cheap, dark, depressing & overpriced

  1/5

  This place reminds me of a Mobil home added on to on the weekends via Home Depot, AC is via cheap tiny NOISEY window units. Entire inside of home is painted dark dreary colors (greys, blacks, greyish blues) with very poor lighting and for instance the only lights in master were an industrial colored BRIGHT white light like the kind used in interrogation rooms. The internet is slow but becomes useless as soon as more than 2 people login on their phones… Ran out of hot water with 2 showers going at once… Way over priced for what it is and wouldn’t stay there again at 1/2 price. Oh wait there’s more, left 3 messages with host Via website and email about extending a day and NEVER got a response… Moved to a Hyatt for all guests and was less money lol

  Owner's response: "Scotty, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We were quite surprised by your review and were unsure how to respond. We're sorry that you did not feel you got your money's worth, we have been very lucky to have had lots of renters who have enjoyed our home and given us 5-star reviews with lots of kind words.
  
  - We have not had any negative comments about our decor and do not feel it is dark and dreary. Grey and black are the in colors, at least in all of the home decor series we have watched. We're sorry it was not to your liking.
  - We have plenty of lighting throughout and windows to let the natural light in.
  - We have checked into the water issue and we have a 40-gallon water heater if someone is using both showers and running the dishwasher it will take a bit for the water to disburse to all areas. We apologize for the inconvenience.
  - We have not had any issues with the internet but thank you for bringing this to our attention.
  
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. We will continue to deliver the 5-star experiences we know we can deliver."
