Nice location by a beautiful lake. Beautiful kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Other than there was little or no water pressure to shower with, it's a great place!

Place was pretty much as advertised and clean when we arrived. Little things like low water pressure and some misc damage around the house that still needed to be fixed, but nothing that majorly impacted our stay. The place is spacious and beds comfortable. I'd book here again if I were to return to the area.

🐐 Thank you for being such a great guest, Brian! We appreciate your feedback! You are always welcome in our home and we look forward to hosting you again in the future! ❤❤❤
I was a bit worried when I saw zero reviews for this location, however, once we found the property we were stunned by how beautiful it was and how large/open the floor plan is!
Everything seemed new and clean and the check-in/out process was really easy.
They had two coffee machines, tons of plates/cookware to use, a grill/firepit which we didn't end up using but the yard was great for our small dog.
The area is very cute, you can walk around the lake but not actually on it as there are no paths (the lake is essentially people's backyards) but you can walk on the street and peer through the houses to see it. There is a small bar called the Bend Bar you can walk to and they have bar food. It was a great place to spend Halloween.
There's also Hardings Family Grocery which is 5-minute drive. Tons of wineries around but just know you don't get much cell service out here/Ubers are not available. So be prepared to screenshot your directions to/from before leaving the wifi in some areas.
The only thing a bit off with this property which I'm sure there's nothing you can do is the water smelled like eggs no matter how long you ran it/temperature. So we did end up buying cases of water.

Not as advertised… home is overall dirty and tired.
Stayed at paw paw lake home for two nights June 21-23, 2024. Came in late at night and could barely recognize the home. Yard is overgrown and unlike the garage photo. Upon entering the home there is a general unclean feeling and overall unkept appearance. Floors were dirty, counters were dirty, wood island had food ground in to the wood graining, kitchen drawers fell out of the slots when opened and were full of random items (fortune cookies, random items,one coozie) baskets full of smoke detectors owners mail in a stack under the island. Beds were uncomfortable, pillows lumped up (foam kind- been washed I guess and now we’re more like floor puffs), no ac in upstairs room, shower tile in master moldy and missing tiles, outside patio chairs and table we’re so moldy, we had to clean the chairs to be able to sit on them, the other patio furniture had no cushions and was unusable. See photos for descriptions and details. Contacted the management company by phone once about the cleanliness and the air conditioner, traded text with the management company twice about getting a fan for the upstairs, was told that was not part of the amenities, and I could go buy one for myself and they would reimburse me. Perk Coffee maker overflowed twice, no Keurig as pictured. Refrigerator was dirty with food scraps in the drawers. Never cooked at the house. So unsure of grill or stove. All glass doors were heavily fingerprinted/dirty smudges up to about 3.5 feet.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay didn't meet expectations. Cleanliness and comfort are our top priorities, and we regret that these aspects fell short during your stay. We appreciate your bringing these issues to our attention, though we wish you had communicated them directly during your stay so that we could have addressed them immediately. Regarding the photos you mentioned sending to VRBO, we have not received any such documentation. It would have been helpful to receive them directly, as we could have worked with our cleaning team to correct any oversights. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Overall, our stay was a very frustrating and disappoint experience.
We had multiple issues with rental property (issues with freezer, tub drain, and washing machine). Each issue required multiple messages with property manager and only one issue was successfully resolved before we decided to leave one night early and find different accommodations that were less frustrating.
Additionally, we did not feel the property manager fairly/properly refunded us for the last night, in spite of the ongoing issues that we experienced.
Also, the condition of the house did not match the photos. There was noticeable water damage throughout the house, ceramic tiles that were completely detached from the floor, and multiple interior doors that could not be shut because they do not fit the openings properly.
