This house was clean and lovely on the inside perhaps a bit warn on the outside but assuming that is the wear and tear around waterfront proprieties. Lake was lovely. Only regret was being too busy to take advantage of it fully. Host was helpful and available.

Great place, this is a "don't judge a book by the cover" location. The place was immaculate inside and decorated very nicely. Everything was clean and they even have a little book of things to do. We checked out the Zoo which is not far and had a nice day. The lake is beautiful and did a chartered tour on the river begin to see the Purple Martin's roost at Bomb Island. The host answered questions quickly and even took care of a problem with the A/C before we arrived (storm to out power and messed it up), but we had it back on our stay. Would definitely stay here again, just be careful as driveway is very steep and can scrape under carriage if not very careful going in and out on a lower vehicle.

Family reunion

Came to town to visit family. The location was perfect and Casey and Jeff’s home was exactly what we need to relax after a long day of family events.

Very nice home near the water

Loved the stay as it was 5 minutes from the wedding venue. Only complaint is the driveway is extremely steep. Loved it otherwise

Great location and great views!!

Very clean and well equipped. Comfortable furniture, great views of the lake and close to restaurants (south shore grocery and grill is new, 5 min anway, and so good!). We loved morning coffee on the balcony in very comfortable chairs. Ideal location to visit family in nearby Harbour Watch when they already have a house full! We will be back!

Super clean. Responsive host. Minutes from the lake and super close to a good restaurant and outdoor store… only issue for us was boat parking but we just parked across the street. Highly recommend the stay!

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pet-friendly. However it is obvious that a large dog has been upstairs; rug and furniture are in desperate need of cleaning/replacement. Otherwise the place was comfortable and suited our needs. Bed and bathroom were fine downstairs. The steep driveway is an issue so we parked across the street sometimes.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 24, 2025
Hi Danny, We take this review very seriously. We understand that the white rug upstairs has wear and tear from use. But we are in disagreement that the furniture needs replacement. This is cleaned before and after every visit. We also informed you that there is a flat area to park across from the house in the parking lot. Your booking was also Greatly discounted and we provided you with the option to contact us anytime you needed any accommodations for your stay. A 3 star review is a very negative response for how much we contributed to just a two night stay. For all future guest reading this review- we are open to suggestions and willing to make modifications and accommodations but please be upfront during your check-in so we can do that and not get hit with a subpar review.
