This is constant construction going on as we envision to make a movie room and more in the future. Feel every fiber of your body relax and enjoy the wild life.
The location was beautiful! The cleanliness was a big disappointment! Had to wash sheets before sleeping, 2 paint cans were used as legs on our bedframe, kitchen needed to be cleaned, there were dishes in the dishwasher when we opened it, the refrigerator did not get very cold. The house was spacious and in a beautiful spot, however the pool was dirty and the outside decks needed some maintenance. Overall, we didn’t feel it was worth the cost of the stay. We definitely left it cleaner than when we arrived!
The Location is excellent and has a lot of potential, just need to be better managed. Lots of small details that can be taken care like better towel quality and qty. including towels for the kitchen. Refill soap dispensers on the bathrooms. And a few unfinished repairs.
The house and property was a nice quite location. It was close to the area we were visiting. The hosts were very attentive to our requests.
Served it's purpose beautifully!
The setting for this house is nice, on a lake with a really nice sunset view. It is also a pretty spacious house. Unfortunately, it was not very clean and it’s run down and in rough shape. The decorating is eccentric and tacky although that is clear from the photos so we expected that. The deck was almost unusable because the deck wood is sort of rotten and the furniture was moldy and nasty and couldn’t be used. It also appears that there must be a septic tank issue because there weee signs in every bathroom instructing that toilet paper should be put in the trash can and not the toilet. There were also outlets without covers which would not be safe for young children.
We came for 2 weeks during a work trip looking for a quiet spot to unwind at the end of each work day and this location was just what we were looking for.
We stayed at this home for a few days while visiting family in Umatilla. There were 2 adults, 4 teens, and a 5 year old in our group. There was so much space and plenty of room for everyone. We never felt cramped or on top of each other. The teens loved the downstairs game room. The living room had a nice TV for watching movies. The views from the balcony of the lake were absolutely beautiful. We had everything we needed while we were there. I had a couple of questions about things and they were answered very promptly. We would definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
We were happy with our stay here. Its not perfect but you can tell there working on it. You want a nice home with plenty of tvs. A nice pool with a lake view then come here. We came to go to the springs and it is a excellent location to go to most of the springs in the area. Alexander springs is only 15 minutes from here. But all in all if you want a place thats not perfect but is more home feeling then this is for you.
The property manager was very kind and responsive. The house has a lot of potential but for the price we paid we were disappointed to pay for potential. Two dead cockroaches were seen upon arrival. Two nights later we saw a live one. Significant hair in the main shower drain. Lots of areas of the house had not been touched by cleaners in quite some time. Backyard was completely overgrown when we arrived. That was taken care of the next day. One roll of toilet paper for a total of 4 bathrooms when we arrived. A PM did come out that night to set some out for us. He was very nice too. The pool vacuum never worked and the pool is in need of some TLC but we were still able to enjoy it. The game room downstairs was a big hit with my 14 year old son as well. It seems as though the property is being upgraded as they go but some shoddy workmanship. That didn’t make the stay any different but left a bad taste for what we paid for it. Check out instructions were simple so that was nice since we checked out at 3am for our flight. Mixed review overall but unlikely to return to this property. Also, it is pretty remote so if you stay be prepared to consider that in your plans. We did enjoy the quiet.
Great place for a family to stay. My 9 year old son loved the pool and the game tables. Was not bored while waiting for our next outing. The house was really an enchanted place. like you were in a magical place. Trees surround the house with lots of wildlife everywhere. We loved watching the birds and butterflies and the weather on the lake. The house was well stocked and easy to feel very comfortable and right at home. We will be back!
Owners are wonderful to work with. The layout of the property was very nice.
Easy check in . Great neighborhood
