Great Time
This house is very accommodating for family gathering together. The large dining room table is a great place to gather for meals, while overlooking the lake. The porch and rocking chairs make a very nice place to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Great house
This is 100 year-old farmhouse Lake class. It was wonderful. The kitchen is a new gourmet kitchen hated an air conditioning, old farmhouse furniture not a brand spanking Holiday Inn but a perfect place to make family memories.

Falling apart at the seams…but that porch!
The house needs a lot of updating and work, but the space was great and the porch was divine! If you don’t mind cracked walls, creaky floors, and the possibility of a visit from Aunt Martha, then it’s a fine place. Perfect location, spectacular views. That’s what you’re paying for!

Hi Bradley. Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the spacious layout, the porch, and especially the amazing views and location. We understand the home could use some updates and appreciate your sense of humor about it. Your feedback helps us know where improvements are needed, and we will share it with the team. We are happy you made the most of your stay and hope to welcome you back.
This place is not ready to be rented. The pictures used lighting and filters and does not represent the dark, moldy, dirty, creepy home that this place is. We stayed at this home for approximately 2 hours while we searched for a new VRBO. When we arrived it was dirty, extremely old and creepy! The furniture and bedding looked to be 30 years old and was yellowed and nasty. Porch was dirty and covered with spider webs. Walls and ceilings were covered in cracks and leaking paint. House was rotting on outside and there were serious foundation issues and some of the rooms were tilted. I was just creeped out and eww! I was willing to forfeit the entire amount I paid to leave. Baseboards and bathrooms were dirty. Drawers in kitchen were dirty. No basic necessities in kitchen, not even salt and pepper. If you are going to rent your house have the decency to go to Ross and spend 300 on new comforters and pillows and get rid of all your silk plants and old decor that is collecting dust.
