An Incredible Getaway!

This was exactly what our two families needed - a peaceful and calm oasis with everything your family could need! We put all spaces to use with our two families each with our doggie and kiddo, the pond was glorious with its singular loon and the evenings were full of the whippoorwill’s songs. Amazing stay, we will be back next year for sure!

We’re so happy to hear your stay was just what you needed! It’s great to know both families—and the pups and kiddos—felt right at home and got to enjoy all the space and peaceful vibes. That loon and the whippoorwill really do bring the magic, don’t they? Sounds like you fully embraced lake life, and we love that. We’d absolutely love to have you back next year—thank you for being such wonderful guests!

Overall great stay, especially with the kayaks and lakeside equipments. We had some issues with bugs in the property which may be caused by the cleaning before we checked in? Not sure. The cleaners said previous renters left the place in such a mess.

John, thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed the kayaks and the lakeside setup — it’s one of our favorite parts of the property too. I’m truly sorry about the bug issue you experienced. Even with regular treatments, lakeside homes can have moments like this, but it should never impact your stay. I’ll be reviewing this immediately with our cleaning team to make sure it’s addressed and prevented going forward. We appreciate you mentioning it so we can improve, and we’d love the chance to host you again for an even smoother experience next time. — Anca, KMA Property Group

Amazing camp

This was the camp experience we have been looking for. We wanted a property that contained us all week and with the pond, kayaks, games and comforts of home...we got it here. I was tempted to not review publically because I selfishly want to book this place for myself all summer next year!

Great stay at Granny Kent Pond!

We spent one week vacationing at the lake house. This property was perfect for our family of 13, including 7 adults, 6 children ages 2 - 14 and 2 dogs. The three buildings were all comfortable and clean. The lake is calm and peaceful, with picturesque views of the surrounding mountains. We enjoyed the kayaks, water tubes and time on the large dock. The small sandy beach area allowed easy water access, as well as sand and water play for our younger ones. While walking the dogs on the streets around the area, there are scenic views of the lake. There is a grassy area big enough for wiffle ball, corn hole (on the premises) and other outdoor games. We enjoyed nighttime gatherings around the fire pit next to the lake. The co-host's responsiveness to all communications was excellent.Truly, the perfect place to spend a lake-side family vacation. We will be back!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're happy to hear the lake house worked so well for your whole crew—kids, adults, and pups alike. It sounds like you made full use of everything from the kayaks to corn hole to cozy fires by the lake—exactly the kind of memories we hope every guest walks away with. We’re glad the layout with three separate buildings gave your group plenty of space, and it’s great to hear the little ones enjoyed the beach area and calm water for playtime. We also really appreciate your kind words about communication—it’s important to us that guests feel supported from start to finish. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more lake-side adventures. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

Many issues...

There were dirty dishes in the totally full dish washer. The main bathroom sink or toilet leeks onto the floor, constantly wet. The primary bedroom mattress sinks down on the head part, very uncomfortable. The Basement rooms are nothing like the pictures show, and the floor leaks water all the way under the bed, no one wanted to stay down there due to the musty smell. The small house next to the large one, has skunks under the home and they continually spray, the home stunk really bad! It rained a few day on our stay, and the living area with TV, can only sit three people. There were not enough chairs in the main home for the amount of people they say it holds. The outside was very nice. We would not return.

Cathy, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay, and I regret that we didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to ensure every guest has a pleasant experience, and your comments are valuable for our improvements. I do wish you had reported these issues while you were at the property so that we could have addressed them promptly. We’ve since conducted thorough inspections and cleanings of the property, and no leaks have been found. Additionally, our records and subsequent guest feedback have not indicated any leaks. Regarding the property layout, it is advertised as two separate buildings, and the seating capacity is designed to accommodate all guests between both buildings. We also make sure our photos accurately reflect the property’s features to provide a clear representation. Thank you again for your feedback.
