Beautiful view of Crystal Lake!

Very clean. A wonderful highlight was a book on the USA and Indigenous People. The lake was rowdy with the tropical storm, Nicole, but it was so wonderful. I would stay again.

Gorgeous Lake

Crystal Lake is an amazing lake and being able to stay right on it was special. Enjoyed swimming every morning and the Independence Day fireworks. I liked the Fiestaware dishes throughout and the vintage bathrooms. The shower water was delightful - maybe comes from the lake? Would rent again.

Nice for a short stay!

Nice property, but a lot to be worked on. Was good for the short stay we had. Some weird experiences with the sliding doors not shutting and not locking. A very spacious place for a two people, very nice living room and bedroom.

Owner/manager is great

The owner or manager was really helpful. We needed to stay another night, but the place was booked. She went out of her way to find us another place to stay with a neighbor who has a rental property. She didn't have to do that, and I really appreciated it. Check in was also a lot easier than other places we've rented. I never saw the actual property, so I can't really comment about that, but the management is really good.

Disappointment and very dirty!!!

Definitely was a disappointment!! Yes we stayed only due to it was a place for us to stay while we where out of town but the cleanliness was a disappointment for sure there where dead bugs throughout the house! The kitchen was dirty the freezer was full of old nasty food the fridge wasn’t clean there was dust cobwebs and dead bugs as well in the kitchen!! The kitchen was in my opinion not a place I would feel comfortable eating at all!! I do understand that the house is old so that I’m sure is why we got the old musty smell! I had to go out and buy candles to kill the odor of the home also I get that by a lake you get mosquitoes but not an infestation of them we couldn’t enter the home without getting attacked by them we had to go out and buy a mosquito fogger for the outside of the door so we could bring our stuff into the home!! The view is beautiful but the overall place was a true disappointment!! When you have guest coming I would think you would make sure the home was clean for the peoples stay so they can relax and enjoy but that was not the case at all!! Not to top it off there was not cable except for basic channels and even those would freeze! The bed was not made the sofa in the room had blankets and stuff pilled on top of it!! We over all where not happy at all this was a weekend getaway for my husband and I and we basically stayed gone away from the home as we couldn’t enjoy it like we wanted to!!!

Misrepresented

We walked in and back out. The rooms appeared clean but there is a musty moldy odor. I have allergies and asthma and could not stay there because of health risks. The driveway has huge holes in it and the place is very old and not kept up. We contacted manager and she said she contacted owners but has not heard if any refund will be issued. The photos are taken very close up as to not show the wear of home. Of course smell is not mentioned and manager stated no one else complained about it. She said it could be from air conditioning or because of age of unit. My health trumped possibly losing Money.

Homey and private

We enjoyed our stay. It was a great home-base while visiting with family and friends. I liked the landscaping because it provided privacy. Although someone lived upstairs we always felt at home and comfortable. My favorite was sitting on the deck and enjoying nature. An updated table and chairs would really enhance the area, but absolutely beautiful scenery.

Bring your lawn and yard equipment!!!

The inside the Apt was fine but the yards we’re like a jungle. The drive way was riddled with potholes and getting to the street was a gamble as view was blocked by overgrown bushes. Dock was dirty. I am surprised that Vrbo would allow such conditions. I will think again before booking thru this company.

Quiet Little Cottage/Apartment

The apartment was a cute gem from another time period. It was well furnished with the essentials. There are renter above in the main home so expect to hear children. The outside area (patio/yard/lake area) could use a little TLC but overall we really enjoyed it and plan to go again.
