Lake front home away from home

Hot tub was not turned on, we had no heat for the first night, multiple areas in need of repair (drawers, faucets etc)

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE — SAFETY HAZARDS, FILTH, AND ZERO ACCOUNTABILITYOur stay at this property was an absolute nightmare from the moment we arrived. The home was dirty, poorly maintained, and full of hazards, and the host was completely unwilling to take responsibility or fairly compensate us despite the extensive failures throughout our stay.The property was nowhere near the condition advertised. We arrived to cobwebs, debris, gum and urine on outdoor seating, unstable furniture, broken fixtures, clogged sinks, missing towel racks, and even roaches. Major amenities—including the stove, hot tub, outlets, and heating—were either broken or failed during our stay.Things escalated when we experienced a gas leak that required the fire department and a full evacuation. We were left with no functional stove, no hot water for two days (on Thanksgiving), and repeated technician visits that never fully resolved the problems. Portions of the home were without heat in late November, and several areas of the house were outright unsafe, including loose banisters and a pantry door that kept falling off.This property is full of band-aid repairs, unsafe conditions, and clear neglect. For the price paid, this stay was beyond unacceptable, and it’s shocking that it remains listed.I strongly warn future guests: do not book this property. It is misrepresented, poorly managed, and unsafe. The host was unhelpful, dismissive, and unwilling to make things right despite the extensive issues

Our stay was overall very fun, and the house was accommodating for all who stayed. Some key points to note, the dock was not in working condition. It is broken at the end however you are able to go to the edge of the dock to look in the water. There were some cleanliness issues including some food beneath the couch and ants. The location is by the lake, so some bugs were expected. The host was very easy to communicate with and helped remediate any issues we had. Overall, it was a great time for my little sister’s bachelorette!

This property had plenty of space for our group to spread out. However, we noticed right off the bat the launch for kayaks was gone. There is a dock, but it just drops off which is a saftey hazard, the old launch is tied to it. We had to load two kayaks into my truck and drive 15 minutes to a public launch to be able to use them safely. There were multiple small to large damages throughout the property. The screened in porch needs TLC including power washing the pollen off of the floor, the sliding door is missing and the screen on one of the windows is coming off. There was still garbage left near the hot tub from a previous renter and the garage was full of leaves which made it seem like the cleaninng fee charged isn't actually paid to who cleans it. I communicated with the property manager about the issues and for the hot water issue in one of the showers, maintenance responded and fixed it quickly. I had to ask for a partial refund instead of being offered one. We should have been contacted before our arrival to be notified of the issues and them offer a discount or another property in better condition and like size instead of discovering all of the issues ourselves. Unless this property is closed for about 3 weeks to do repairs, painting, and a true deep cleaning, I would not consider staying here again. The cost is too much to have so many issues and I only mentioned some.

I recently stay in the enourmous elegant gem thanksgiving 2024. The pictures of the property are accurate however they dont do the property justice, to which it my arrival to the property utterly an astounding experience for me and my family.

We had a fantastic experience!! The accommodations were impressively spacious and perfectly suited for our trip!!

Our host was fantastic. The home was very clean. We really enjoy our time there.

Loved the place and how private it was. Super wooded with no neighbors in site. Would definitely stay again!

This was a great stay for our group. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake at sunrise and sunset. The house was spacious and we enjoyed the decks, the hot tub, the game room, and sitting around on the couches on each level. The host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. It was a little challenging to share just 3 showers among all of us when we had to get out early in the morning, but besides that, we were totally happy with our stay!

Very beautiful and fun house and very helpful property managers
