Annual friends trip

Great location on the lake and a big home for a large group. The home was very accommodating, but the AC could not keep up with the outside heat, especially the upstairs. The pontoon boat was not clean, so we did not use. Note to owner: provide a list of how to and where to instructions to renters (how to turn on TV and stereo system, fans, where to go for supplies and activities, etc.) around the area. One last thing, the tub/ shower was very slippery! One of our guests slipped and fell in the shower and hurt his leg, it could have been worst. Please put non-slip mats or some other traction in the showers to avoid injury. Just helpful suggestions, otherwise we appreciated your hospitality and communications prior to arrival!

Beautiful cabin on Hubbard Lake

My family of 14 enjoyed our stay. Cabin had plenty of room to accommodate us perfectly. Cabin was full stocked with bedding, towels, dishes and cookware. The property manager was so kind and responded to my questions quickly. Teens loved the upstairs deck to have a place of their own to tan. Lake was beautiful. The cabin comes highly recommended.

Mini vacation

Beautiful house. Numerous plates, glasses and silverware. Only concern is that part of the instructions was to wash, dry and fold all towels but the dryer took over 2 hours to dry the towels and check out time was at 10am and the towels were not done in time to be able to fold before checkout.

Excellent Venue - Just needs a little updating

This is a great VRBO with lots of room and great views of the lake. I reserve it every year for Easter Breakfast for my extended family. A couple of things could use some attention. This year there was no cable, only streaming services. It would have been nice to know that prior to my visit so I could plan accordingly. The furniture in the living rooms is outdated and worn down. Not the most comfortable. I also spent a bit of time fixing things that were not maintained (shower handle falling off, TV connections unclear, electric griddle does not work, etc.). Just minor things that I would rather not be doing on vacation. Also, the steps from the garage to the house need to be replaced. The are home made and not safe.

Great weekend on the lake

Had a great stay here with our group of friends, 8 adults in all. We brought a pontoon and had beautiful weather for our long weekend in mid September. We all agreed the place could use a little more up keep but it's still a great place for a large group. Our only gripe was the note in the house saying all renters are required to wash and dry all the towels you used before leaving. This request was a first for all of us and we do a trip like this every year. We did as requested but it's an inconvenience. We ended up all sitting around, everything packed ready to get on the road waiting on the laundry to finish.
