Lakeside Pet-Friendly Retreat in a Quiet Cove.

I struggle to write this because the place is pretty, it is adequate. Would I stay here again? Probably not. The owner was very prompt in attending to thing we needed, which was appreciated. I however, did not get notice that we needed to bring our own sheets and towels, a first for me, until two days before our arrival, and we had already been on the road for a week. Had that been noted in the listing, Id probably not book this property. The upstairs bed was very uncomfortable and though I knew the property was dog friendly, I didn't expect to have quite so much dog hair floating around. Now, for the positives... its a spacious property that has potential to be fantastic. There's obviously an intent to keep improving it, and there's some projects ongoing we can tell. The kitchen is very pretty and mostly well stocked. I didn't find the broom until our next to last day because it was outside. There was enough room for us to all spread out and the downstairs beds were comfortable to my sons. The trash lot was only open from 7-7 and not on the holiday, which was less than convenient. Lots of seating area and lots of entertaining area. We loved watching the sun come up in the cove every morning. I wish the owners the best of luck and hope they continue to improve this property.

The host was great and very accommodating. You can tell they continue to make thoughtful updates to the home. The space was great and work perfectly for two family’s. I look forward to booking this home again.

We have been staying at this property every year and obviously we love it! The owner is great and quick to respond. He is constantly working to make upgrades to the property. The view is fantastic and we enjoy fishing and kayaking. It’s our family’s favorite vacation!

Trash cans outside were full upon our arrival and disgusting. Dock was a mess and the lounge chairs covered in bird poop

This was our 4th year and it was wonderful!!! Our family absolutely loves the house:):) we will be back next year!

This house is perfect for me and my family. This is the second time we have stayed and we will definitely being staying there again. Owners were very responsive to any questions we had. House is in a perfect location on the lake.

We had a great stay during Memorial Day weekend! Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. We will visit again!

Absolutely fabulous location! So much wildlife! We actually saw a deer get chased by a dog and swim across the lake to safety! A highlight of the trip :). The house is older and a bit musty, but just beautiful and plenty of space for everyone. Coffee on the deck in the morning and the hot tub at night were so wonderful. Owners are great and quick to respond. We would definitely stay again.

Place was great! The walk to and from the dock can be challenging if you have any issues. But then again it’s lake living!! Thanks!!

Had I not made reservations for a boat rental later in the week, I would have returned my bags to my car and headed home immediately after the first hour in the property. I have no ill will for an owner trying to earn income on a vacation home, but this property is in dire need of a good scrubbing and adjusted prices if repairs are not addressed. I submit this review understanding that my rating may take a ding, but in the spirit of VRBO, I feel the owner should address these issues before renting again or renters should be fully informed about what they should expect. Here are my observations: Pro: Pet friendly, spacious, very nice lake view, the grill was clean and operational, hot water plentiful, king bed downstairs comfortable, lots of DVDs, good washer and dryer, the owner communicated well and allowed us a Sat. to Sat. rental instead of their customary Sunday to Sunday. Con: Active mice infestation in the kitchen (found droppings in the cutlery drawers and pantry) and evidence they have been in the downstairs closets. The house is VERY worn and the filthiest VRBO rental I have ever seen. Examples: Upon arrival, we found a huge clot of hair in the downstairs shower drain and remaining debris from prior renters’ showers, toothpaste on the downstairs half bath counter, disgusting moldy woodwork at the base of the downstairs shower, insect and mice droppings on downstairs closet floors, dirty windows that impact the nice view, dirty sliding door tracks (not a big deal unless you have to dig your finger in them to place locking poles), dirty smudges near almost every light switch and on walls, stained and dirty stair rug pads, downstairs TV is literally held together with duct tape with no directions on how to operate, glasses were placed in the kitchen cabinets with heavy grease marks, dirty oven that looks like it has not been cleaned after a year or two of use, household surfaces (furniture, fireplaces, shelves, etc.) had not been dusted in a long while, all of the oven mitts had food stains and bits adhered to them. We found greasy red food crumbs on the upstairs fan/light remote, broken and missing towel bars, and a stained bed cover in the upstairs bedroom.
