The house is very nice with a good piece of land, the kitchen didn't quite have everything we needed and they don't provide you with enough supplies. Vancasa made it easy to sign in and we're very responsive. The wifi is very slow which is to be expected with a cabin in the woods.
It was a really nice property
House was clean and ready upon arrival, loved the towel critters on the beds. Second visit with this property and now looking at a third.
I organized the trip with a bunch of old high school friends who haven’t gotten together since before COVID. We had a really great time. The place is really clean. The beds were very comfortable. The basement had a Golden Tee Machine, foosball, and mini ping pong table we used a lot. The fire pit area was nice with a view of the lake from where you sit. We had roaring fires two of the three nights we were there. We had an issue with the refrigerator/freezer not cooling. The management company was responsive and by the next night there was a new fridge delivered. They also reimbursed us for the lost meat/food we had. I thought this was really good guest service. They can’t control when things like that happen, only how they handle it. And they handled it perfectly. Overall, we had a really good long weekend catching up among a bunch of old 40-something guys who haven’t seen each other in a LONG time. P.S.: We rented a big pontoon boat from Big Papa rentals nearby and that went too. We had lunch at the Dirty Turtle and got pizza one night from Bucky’s Pizza. I’d recommend both places. We also went to a place called Shady Akers BBQ to eat and watch the Bears/Packers game. That place was REALLY good and a lot of fun.
Perfect location on lake with sandbar right off shore. House was great at accommodating large group. Would stay again if in the area
We loved everything about the place. Great memories with our family.
Private, big yard, great interior. The beach is perfect for kids and adults to swim. Very shallow and Sandy. Dock for boat. Pictures didn’t do this one justice. We will return for sure!
Simple
Very nice home, good location, alot of privacy. Unfortunately our check-in was not so easy. We had alot of problems with the code and then new codes, none were working. Otherwise our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Note to others, two bathrooms for 14 people is really not enough.
We did not have water for first 21/2 hours. We were able to take care of the problem with telephone help from local manager. Also the the very long driveway into the property had not been plowed of the 4 plus inches of snow . Very fortunate we had a truck. That problem was resolved the next morning before the rest of the guests arrived. The property was amazingly beautiful with the new fallen snow. We enjoyed a nice bonfire in this winter wonderland. The accommodations were wonderful for our family gathering. So despite the rocky start we enjoyed our time with many expressing interest in returning! Local management was very good to work with.
Every year our family takes a fall trip to a house/cabin so we can all just be together. We loved the location and the beautiful house. The amenities , cleanliness, and layout was great! Having the cousins all be together and making memories warms our hearts. We will absolutely return!! The leaves were starting to change and it was so gorgeous. Thank you
Clean, spacious, beautiful scenery. Only issue was we were given a wrong entry code. It took 30 minutes to get in after being told they were ready. Other than that, gorgeous place. Would highly recommend.
Everything about this home was extraordinary. It was fully accommodating for the needs of my family’s get away. The house was noticeably clean and smelled wonderful when we arrived. The lake entrance was sandy and shallow for the smaller children; but vast lake space for all of our big kid/ adult fun too. The lake water was clean which was an added bonus. We also had access to a nice dock. Although I did not see a landing for a boat directly on the property, the lake was busy with boaters during our stay so there must be an entrance nearby. The yard space was large for yard games and the fire pit made good for a generous campfire and plenty of seats for everyone! We made use of the kayaks and canoe on the property which made for an awesome accommodation during our stay. We enjoyed morning coffee and dinner on the enormous deck out back. Watching the sunsets and wildlife from it was beautiful. One of the basement couch legs was broken when we arrived from a previous guest along with a patio chair from the deck. It was extremely easy to contact property management to communicate our concerns. They always responded promptly Thru our entire process. I would definitely recommend! Our memories made at Sanctuary Shores will last forever ???
The house was beautiful, clean, fully equipped and the scenery was outstanding. It was the perfect spot to relax and celebrate with family.
We absolutely LOVED this house! Kitchen was so well equipped, we brought way more than was needed. Beds were so comfy. Amazing outdoor space. The beach is a little small but the water is so shallow, kids can play out in the water for a long ways.
Great place for families! A lot of space and plenty of beds but only two bathrooms. Fun game room/tv room downstairs. Nice swimming area with shallow sandy bottom and 100 foot dock. We rented a pontoon from Big Papa's and they were great. Big yard for games and really nice fire pit setup. We will probably go back again. Make sure you bring plenty of food to cook there because not a lot of dining options other than Northern Bay Golf Course. Lakeside Bar and Grill which is very close is fun for tavern/tiki bar. We did not eat since there was over an hour wait due to friers that were down in the kitchen. We did have some issues with the oven and there were no trash bags which was weird. The patio door to the deck had a cracked handle which ultimately broke off. The outdoor grill needs to be cleaned or updated but made it work. A wheel barrel to haul the firewood would be nice as well. All in all it is a great place for big family gatherings. We would stay again.
Our stay was excellent! The home was clean, well-stocked, and just as it was described online. We would definitely recommend!
Clean and welcoming. Felt like home. Fully stocked kitchen. The location is breathtaking. The photos do not do justice for this property. Will plan to stay here again
