Creekside Vista Escape - Lodge

The house was beautiful, spacious, and clean. It had great views of the area and wasn’t too far from downtown.

Outdoor / Exterior Issues:The pool contained debris, was low on water, and the jets were exposed upon arrival.The deck bar cooler was unclean, and the faucet still had winterization foam on it.Garbage was left in the garage.Deck furniture was dirty and had to be wiped down in order to be used.We requested that the pool and bar issues be addressed as soon as possible. While repairs were eventually made, these conditions resulted in an immediate loss of use of key amenities upon arrival.Additionally, once the pool was serviced and refilled, the water temperature dropped significantly. It remained between approximately 80–90F for about a day and a half while reheating, further extending the period the pool was not fully usable.'Year round' swimming hole was very green and not usable.Interior Issues (additional findings):One of the loft beds had sand present, stained linens, and no blankets. The bed had not been properly serviced prior to our arrival, and we had to wash the sheets ourselves before use.A majority of the bath towels were stained.The coffee maker contained old, moldy grounds.The upstairs common area bathroom tub/shower drain was clogged making the shower unusable.In the rear downstairs suite (with coffee bar), we found a dead roach and a live reptile in the room.The cupboard walls surrounding the kitchen garbage can were coated with dried food.Many areas of the interior had significant surface dust.

Overall, not an ideal experience. The property has an undisclosed second listing that was rented out by another group. There is a shared entrance with no curtains, allowing full view into our rental. Additionally, exterior spaces shown (deck and yard) are shared. At least the couple renting the other unit were nice, but it made our whole anniversary trip uncomfortable. The listing was designated as entire house via filtering, which I find relatively deceptive for a shared property. It was obvious some of the bedding was not washed and never made, so we had to wash them before sleeping. At least, the camera's overlooking all corners of the house and hot tub made the space feel safe. Nice place though and we made the best of it.

Great spot to fully get away! There’s so much to do and the town feels so cozy

Our group enjoyed the location and amenities, including the hot tub and the pond behind the house; however, the presence of rodents, a difficult check-in process, and lack of cleanliness made it hard to enjoy this stay. We woke up on the first morning to see that bread and tortillas left on the counter overnight had been torn into and munched on by some kind of rodent (see photos). Especially with three young kids in our group, we were then super nervous about germs and mouse droppings that may be on counters and floors. The property manager offered us money to replace the groceries lost, but it didn’t help us feel better about the lack of cleanliness.Upon arrival, it was difficult to tell which door lef into the property versus the attached cabin (a separate rental). After finding the door, we soon discovered we had been given the wrong code for the lockbox. As we worked to figure out the door situation, neighbors in the nearby cabin were super rude. Not very family-friendly. Finally, as we packed up, we removed the small trash bags in the bathrooms to take out the trash and discovered, in one trash can, a banana peel left underneath the trash bag. No wonder there’s a rodent issue if trash from previous renters isn’t effectively cleaned out. Also, the dishwasher left a thick white film on everything, meaning we needed to rewash by hand. We really wanted to love this rental as the house is very pretty, but these issues mean we can’t recommend this place to anyone.

The property delivered on all expectations. Stocked to provide for all the guests needs.

Great home, cute pond and nice deck

We were in town for my son's wedding and the house is very nice. The floors and kitchen counter were not cleaned and dishes were in the dishwasher when we arrived. I think they need to get a new cleaner. Also, read the fine print! There is a cabin connected to the house that you do not have access to. The listing says the entire house which is true but the small print indicates a cabin right there that I did not see. Thankfully our neighbors were very quiet. The property manager is very nice and helpful!

My family stayed here for about three weeks due to a water heater leak that lead to a home renovation. The home was clean and quiet and a great escape for my family to escape the chaos of our home. My teenager loved the kayaks and even tried fishing down at the water a few times. There were a couple of maintenance issues that came up while we were there and the property management company jumped right on them to get them fixed as fast as possible.
