Pet & Kid Friendly Lake community w/ boat launch & beach

The cost was extremely high for this property in my opinion I can sleep anywhere.Firstly, we walked in and the house smelled like poop. We had to open all the windows. It’s advertised as a 3 bedroom, however one of the bedrooms is in the basement and my son got eaten alive by mosquitos in the room while he was sleeping. There were ants and spiders everywhere. The yard was full of stuff and you couldn’t sit out on the deck, I actually swept it trying to remove debris and bugs but I still wasn’t going to sit out there. The pictures of the interior make the house look put together, but it’s very cluttered with stuff. There was a list of items front and back of rules and regs that ask you to initial, but are framed? They ask you to strip the sheets at the end of your stay and a pillow was covered in blood like someone had a bloody nose. None of the fans work without the lights on, and you couldn’t turn any ac on so we were sweating at night. The advertised second bathroom is in a closet and it’s like a camper toilet. Overall the highlight was the game room I’d say, the proximity to amenities in the park. But it was just really expensive for what you got.

Laurie was extemely helpful and quick to respond throughout our stay. The home is fully stocked for pets and children.There were pack n plays, bowls, leashes, blankets, coffee, anything we needed which was a huge help when we ended up in the middle of a blizzard! The play room was huge hit, even with adults! Would stay again.

Amazing stay. I can’t say enough about how accommodating and wonderful it was to work with Laurie. The cottage came with everything and more that we could ask for, the location was perfect with a quick walk to the community beach or play house. Everything was clean and neat. Lots of stuff for my kids to use. Playroom was a hit for everyone with darts, air hockey, board games and more. She left paddle boards and a floating mat that my kids loved!

Beautiful property, located within driving distance of everything we were looking to do. The older boys enjoyed their own space downstairs. With air hockey and other games. The upstairs was big enough for all of us to have sit down suppers. Watch TV and just hang out together. The property owner was very quick to answer any questions. Very reaponsive to text. Plenty of beach supplies that we unfortunately didnt use, we tried to pack in as much adventure time into our mini trip, so we ran out of time to go to the beach at the property. Which is extremely close to the house. Bed were rated a 10 by everyone! The sheets were so comfortable that my daughter took a picture of the tag and is planning on purchasing a set for home.Laurie, also left us a smore making kit. We did by the firewood to use it, but were so tired at night, we ended up taking them home and using them the next night when we got back, when we had movie night! Thank you!

We had a great time staying at Balmoral Estates. House was clean with all the supplies we needed. Beach was really pretty and only a .3 mile walk. People were very friendly. the Host went out her way. I had mentioned that we were celebrating my sister's birthday. Host left balloons and a bottle of champagne on the counter for us to celebrate. I highly recommend this property especially for kids and dogs. Beautiful setting and very much geared to families and pets. We would definitely stay here. again. -J. Ciccone

Laurie was so welcoming and helpful with booking. The house was fully loaded with everything you might need for a beach day. The kids had a blast and loved having their own space in the “game room”. We will definitely be back!

Balmoral and this house are a great location for family vacation

Perfect stay with all your needs! Very attentive host!

Great place. Very close to lake access. Had a great time!

My now wife and I stayed at Laurie’s property for our wedding up the street at castle in the clouds. The house was so nice the pictures do not do it justice in my opinion! Much bigger than I thought. On top of that Laurie left us a bottle of champagne as a celebratory gift and a greeting. She was very helpful with some of her devices like the Apple TV which we were not used to working and answered very quickly and efficiently. 5/5 would recommend to anyone.
