Scenic lakeside home on Three Lakes Chain with enclosed porch, dock, fire pit!

B Our first issue came up when we inquired about the length of the dock regarding the pontoon, we were renting plus the fishing boat we would be bringing up. We were first told there were 2 docks. Only 1 appeared in the photos. After questioning Hiller on this, they did some checking and said that they considered 2 sides of 1 dock as 2. When we arrived, there was a boat hoist with a pontoon on one side of the dock. It was the owners. Hiller never notified us of this and the owner refused to remove their pontoon, so said Dick the Hiller representative. The very accommodating employee at the Stone Harbor Marina, where we rented the pontoon from, helped us with this dock situation. Thanks again Shawn for your professional and courteous help. It became quite obvious that Hiller does not regularly inspect the properties they rent. Heating and air conditioning – The thermostat was set mostly for heat as it was fairly cold while we were there. We would set it to a comfortable temperature and a little while later the thermostat was automatically set at a lower temp. Hiller did send out a repair service man to look at the thermostat the first evening we were there. The steps down to the dock were not in good condition, some boards rotting, some steps covered with gravel that had washed down. And the railing was very wobbly in places. The left corner of the dock next to the last st

Since there were not any prior reviews, I will try to be detailed. This place would get 5 stars, accept for the hosting company, Hiller. It is like being a guest, just not welcomed. We stayed 10 days. Apparently, regardless of how many days you stay, you ONLY get 2 very cheap/small rolls of toilet paper per bathroom/2 rolls cheap paper towel/2 dishwasher packets/2 useless dishtowels good for only drying a few dishes at a time. NO salt/pepper, coffee maker, but No coffee, No beaters for the mixer. Plenty of plates/bowls/glasswear/silverware, dishrack/dawn, adequate pots/pans/utensils. Fridge/freezer/icemaker are nice. No tinfoil, plastic bags etc. like provided at most VRBOs, but not a big deal if you know there are no amenities, you can just bring or buy. There are not really any cleaning supplies to speak of. The house is amazing & we really enjoyed the 4 seasons glassed in porch as well as the view from the master bedroom. There is not a usable closet in the master bedroom but plenty of other useable closets throughout the house. The master bathroom is VERY nice; shower/tub can get slippery, water very hot. You get NO towels in bathrooms. No extra linens. There is an extra comforter & nice snuggle blankets in the living room. Living room VERY comfortable. Kitchen: plenty of room &pantry for storage. Good WIFI. Very nice eating area. Quiet/beautiful neighborhood. Saw bald eagles. Nice dock, lake is muddy & weedy. Nice firepit. Check out is 8 am, but we were allowed 11 am.
