Old but nice home

We enjoyed our stay. If you need a home for 8-10 people, this is a good option. The driveway is on a busy road, so you need to be careful backing out as many drivers don’t follow the 25 MPH speed limit.

Hi, Michael. Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your recommendation for groups of 8-10 people. Thank you also for the important safety note about the driveway and nearby road. We’ll be sure to pass this along to our local team to help ensure future guests are well informed. We truly value your feedback and hope to host you again soon!

Be prepared

This cabin is in the perfect spot. Unfortunately it is quite dated and has not been maintained. Years of dust, mold, decrepit furniture, ancient AC filters and nothing in the kitchen made our stay entirely too rustic.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Joy. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the location, though we apologize for the issues that prevented you from fully enjoying your stay. We wish that you had alerted us to the issues while in the home so that we could rectify the situation as we worked to fix the issues to which you had alerted us. We take guest feedback seriously and have forwarded all your concerns to the local operations manager so that we can take the appropriate steps toward a resolution. We will continue to work with both our local operations manager and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you will give us a second chance to impress you.

Budget friendly home for large family

This home worked well for our large family. It is older in style and furnishings. The small kitchen is equipped for regular cooking. The washer and dryer are pretty old, but worked. Having access to Lake J amenities makes up for the lack of flat yard space for playing.

Misrepresented

This house was nothing like described. It is not air conditioned, there is no cable tv, there are not three parking places, there is not one comfortable piece of furniture in the whole house. This house was a big disappointment and I could not recommend it to anyone.

Horribly Mislead

The property clearly hasn’t been updated in about 40 years. The pictures are misleading- it was so dark in the home we could hardly see anything. There are no overhead lights in the living room or bedroom. The lights/lamps they do have are dim, old and slow to turn on. I realize it’s hard to keep an old home looking clean- but there were cobwebs in the kitchen and some very shady stuff in the trash cabinet. It smelled horrible. If they hadn’t already charged my card, I almost turned around and left when we first walked in. There is not one comfortable chair in the place. A little money spent on some fresh paint, lights and new chairs would go a long way.
