The Grand Hamilton Retreat ~ Lake Front ~ Sleeps 15 ~ Memories Included

The residence is beautiful, spacious and very well decorated. The host was very easy to communicate with and responded to any questions immediately. The lake view was awesome.

Everything was as advertised!

I dont think the place was cleaned all the way. there was a small shampoo bottle top left in the upstairs bathroom, the bathroom in the basement had a empty used bottle of shampoo left in the shower. there was a total. of 5 forks left in the silverware drawer. 4 bags of trash was in the garage when we arrived. the upstairs private balcony was very dirty. Had yard workers show up thursday morning to cut the grass. the front door had a 1.5 inch gap on the hing side at the bottom and 3/4inch gap at the top opposite the hinges. it looked like the floor was rotting at the bottom of the from door due to water damage. the upstairs tub was slow draining. 1 kitchen towel. Hardly any dish washing liquid. For a house that was supposed to be well equipped was lacking much. the ice maker in the refrigerator could not keep enough ice for a total of 5 people. The positive is beautiful location. the kitchen knives were sharp. concrete driveway was good considering the steepness. Great view, nice and quiet area. Nice gaming table chairs were a little too high for it. But all in all we had a great time. The pictures are old, was disappointed that there was no coverd patio table, all decks and outside seating was dirty. Some of the things in the pictures like the breakfast table and chairs were different, the barstools were not the same pictured. I will not be using this property again because of misdirection and the place is not as discribed. Will not sleep 15 people, 13 at most.

Hot tub was not included as listing stated. The host did say they have had trouble removing it from the listing so that was fine. The communication with the host was delayed. It took 16 hours to respond on one maintenance matter but they did send maintenance quickly to resolve issue. WiFi did not work during the entire stay and was never resolved. The floors in the kitchen turned socks brown. Two coffee mugs were found in the microwave upon arrival that had coffee inside that was moldy and was pure black sludge. The cups were stained when we put in the dishwasher. Overall, our stay was fine but I didn’t anticipate having to communicate with the host as much as I did regarding maintenance and wifi issues.

The house is large, ok for a group of adults. The location is good and has great views with lake access. The house is not well maintained. Multiple things are broken and just haphazardly addressed: leaking sink with buckets underneath causing a lot of mold, electrical tape holding monitor together, indoor flooring used for outside balcony, outdoor furniture not well maintained with ripped upholstery. Would not recommend for children as the banister/rails of the open 2nd floor stairs is very loose. The bunk bed is also missing multiple bolts so it collapsed when someone just put a foot on the ladder. This could have been deadly if a child was on the bottom bunk. No hot tub as listed. Good potential but not well maintained.

Refrigerator is wedged in and there's trash visible on both sides of it. Bunk room is a garage space with an uninsulated garage door and no heat or air other than a small heater. Furniture is all white and dingy, needs to be cleaned.

Communication was very good

Great host and stay!!

GREAT SHAPE

The property was beautiful and spacious. Game room was a big hit for the family. The location on the lake was peaceful and quiet. Would definitely recommend for a family gathering.

The property was amazing. We had enough space and beds for everyone that came on vacation. The location on the lake was great for boating activities. We had a few hiccups with the house but JB was on top of it and got it handled. We would highly recommend this property for families.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly! Nestled directly by the water, with a huge deck and dock! The master bedroom was perfect, with a large jacuzzi tub, bidet, and closet of your dreams. The kids room was so fun, the kitchen island was HUGE, and the downstairs entertainment area and couch was perfect. The hosts were super prompt in their responses, and we are hoping to stay here again in the future with the kids!

Our stay went well, the hosts were very attentive and addressed all of our concerns in a timely manner! We were pleased and would highly recommend this property to others!
