This house was so much more than expected! They had everything and then some. It was myself, husband and our 2 dogs and there was more than enough room for us and them in the house and the huge yard. We loved the homey-ness of the house and the privacy. They had left us frozen pizzas and a few things to get us started. They had even left a bag of dog snacks for our girls. The huge garage was full of toys!! We took full advantage of all the fun stuff they had there for you to do. The managment company was really good also. Our Key to the garage wouldn't work and they responded right away. They even helped us with other potential rental properties. If they didn't answer the phone, they called right back with in minutes. We also got to meet the owners of the home. They are really great people and we couldn't thank them enough for opening their home to strangers. Our only complaint was the king bed. But with only 2 of us, we had plenty of places to sleep. Within 5 min of being there we were already to reserve for next year! Great home with all the things you need to make you at home! Thank you again!

We had a family reunion (8 adults) at the anchors away house. During our stay the sewer backed up and the fridge stopped working. We stuck with the property while the repairs were made over a couple day period and then asked for the rental company to refund us for part of the cost of our stay. Seemed like a fair request, but they never responded to it despite a written note and 5 phone messages. This is VERY disappointing since we otherwise had a good stay and would have recommended it to others.

Owner response: Sometimes things go wrong that are out of our control. We responded immediately when called with the issues. We sent someone over to fix the plumbing and he did so while the guests were out for the day on planned excursions. We try to be as un-intrusive as possible. Secondly they called and said the fridge had stopped working. We sent someone over the same day and he could find nothing wrong with it. The ice was still frozen and the food cold. He brought them more ice. There is also another small fridge downstairs. When you rent a home, it is still a lived in home and something may go wrong during your stay. If we are unable to fix it we would offer to move you to a different home. I am sorry that these guests were disappointed. We did respond immediately to their phone calls while renting the property. If I am unavailable there are two other numbers to call so you can reach someone at all times.

We (6 mature women) spent our annual long weekend (3 nights) at the house in June 2011. We had a fantastic stay! The photos and descriptions were accurate - in fact, most everything was nicer. When we arrived, we had a problem with the hot tub and the mgmt company sent over a maintenance guy right away. The mgmt company was very helpful as well, especially answering all our questions before we actually rented. The living room was nicely comfortable for all 6 of us. A couple more (regular) dining chairs would be nice - AND the folding chairs were some of the most comfortable I've sat in and plentiful. There were lots of things already there - some food and spices, hair dryer, plenty of soap (for the 3 bathrooms), nice towels. Very nice of the owners to provide them. There was lots of space - we each felt like we could have some personal space even with all of us in and around the house. It would be a great house for multiple families to share. Nice large hot tub. We were unable to take advantage of some of the lake "toys" available - very high water level in the lake, and the dock was under water (NOT the owner's fault!). We very much enjoyed our stay, and will probably return again - if it doesn't get so popular that we can't get in!

It was easy to feel right at home in this vacation rental. It had everything we needed and much more. The amenities and all the little touches were way beyond our expectations. The home is tucked away just enough to offer a nice bit of privacy and it's very quiet (we slept with the windows open and heard nothing but the wind). The location is superb: right on a lovely, peaceful lake, and near the ocean. It feels like you're out in the nature, yet it's less than 5 minutes to town for anything you need. My husband and I had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend; we'll definitely be back with the extended family sometime soon!
