Our family of five enjoyed a 6 day stay in late July at this fun and funky A-frame. The online description is very accurate. There are no linens or towels of any kind, so BYO. Washer and dryer are brand new. The mattress in the attic is actually now a normal full size, not an air mattress, and the space up there is cute for kids. We cooked several full meals and found the kitchen had all the necessities. One couch is not very comfortable, but the other is very nice. TV wifi options were fine. Some beach chairs/noodles and kid games available. Would stay again.
We loved the lake access with this house, there's no dock but there is a little sandy area that the kids loved using and you can walk out really far before it gets deep. We brought our kayaks and had a great time outside. The inside was very sparse, there was 1 chair and 2 uncomfortable couches, the beds were fine and the hot tub was very nice. We only stayed for 2 nights so it was fine but for a longer stay I would prefer a place that was a little easier to live in. We rent 3 or 4 times a year in the area for vacations and this was lacking a little. The previous guests had not cleaned up so there was some glass and fireworks in the yard, not the homeowners fault but be aware if you have little ones in the yard that no one checks it before you arrive.
Nice location and view of the lake, but needs some work. Beds & furniture very uncomfortable. Electrical outlets: one side worked the other did not. Septic system (?) very noisy.
We enjoyed the lake view and location. We had the opportunity to use the BBQ grill and fireplace. There was a glitch with the water boiler on the first night and we didn't have hot water for a few hours, but we called the landlord and were able to get it resolved. The wifi is somewhat spotty and the cellar bathroom light stopped working midway through our stay, but not a deal breaker since we really enjoyed our stay.
The stay was in a great location and very unique setting. Only difficulty was figuring out the heat. Spent a couple hours trying to get the heat past 55. Once I fixed it all was well. Wifi was subpar. But those are minor and overall stay was great
We had a great time! Owner was very responsive with any issues. Fireplace was the best after day on slopes or hiking. Loved the Aframe! House was very spacious for 4 adults and 2 kids. Many places to sleep. Kitchen was fully equipped. Kids had a blast ice skating and ice fishing on Locke Lake. Gunstock and Mount Major are within 20-25 min. People are very friendly in the area. We even found the best little brewery Muddy Road Brewery! If you love the outdoors this place is for you.
We stayed at this property a few days ago, together with some relatives who traveled from Florida, and we had a great time. We loved the location looking towards the lake. You can enjoy a really nice view from the deck, specially this time of the year with the season changing and all the colors. The house needs some updates, but overall is a large house with plenty of space to accommodate people. Definitely worth it!
We enjoyed the view, quite neighborhood, big plus that we could take the dogs. Fireplace was a great feature. Living room furniture not comfortable at all. Not easy to sit and relax. I would still go back and visit again.
We loved the place, 2nd yr we have rented this property, only thing I would say is the floor wasn’t the cleanest this time around, LOTS of dog hair, sand all over floors, we swept up both floors n you can tell it wasn’t cleaned right, besides that we had no other issues
The house was clean and cozy, and the location was absolutely perfect
