Overwater cabin
Very nice property Really unique setting Ad says fully equipped kitchen but no dishwasher Couldn’t find a flat skillet for pancakes and/or bacon Noticed in pictures that there were no tables by the sofa for plates/drinks so we brought some tray tables with us Also a shower caddie would be nice because there is no place to put soaps and shampoo but on the floor Otherwise it is a great rental and owner was always available

Unique Cabin on the Lake
My family of six thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the cabin on the water. The unit was VERY clean upon arrival, the accomodations were outstanding, and the living experience was relaxing. In terms of the outdoors accomodations, it was so nice being able to fish right off the deck. We caught a ton of bluegill, perch, and large mouth bass. To be able to sit on the deck and fish is amazing. We also used the kayaks and the row boat, which was the first time my kids were in a row boat. We also used the fire pit, which was nice. We highly recommend this property.

Underwhelmed
When we saw this bungalow on Vrbo, we felt certain it would provide a truly memorable experience. The location is secluded and quiet; the scenery is very nice. While we found many aspects of the cabin attractive, space was tight and storage a problem. There is not one closet, which was disappointing to say the least, and the downstairs bureau was not in the bedroom but in the hall, which was inconvenient. The space devoted to the living room is very tight and the television mounted over the mantle made viewing from the couch uncomfortable. The glass insert in the floor was ultimately uninteresting and the space could have been better used for a coffee table. The kitchen space was also limited. Some basic kitchen elements you would expect to find like a rack to use to dry washed dishes (there was no dishwasher) were missing. The outside grill, which we had intended to use, was filthy and the lamp on the table outside on the deck was broken. During our last night there, the water softener was triggered (loudly right next to the bedroom) and we were forced to call the property manager who, to his credit, answered the phone immediately at 3 am. Renters should know in advance that this might happen. Bottom line, this could be a very nice place but many of the details that are so important in creating a truly wonderful experience were missing.
