I’ve stayed in many VRBO rentals. Overall we had a nice stay here. The property owners were really great to deal with and communication was quick and efficient. The property has a nice view of the lake and can easily fit a larger group or family. The pictures definitely show the property in its best light. I’ll list the pros and cons of the place below.
Pros -
While the house is on the smaller side it can fit a large group will extra roll out beds, the kitchen is well appointed with lots of cooking pans, utensils, dishes and even spices, the upstairs beds are very comfy, lots of linens and towels great for the lake, the living room area is comfortable with a huge tv, and the property is fairly quiet.
Cons-
This place was pretty grimy and dirty and needs a solid top to bottom thorough scrub - I had to clean when we arrived and just accept some of it, the house is on well water and you have to space out your laundry, dishwasher and showers which is manageable but the dishwasher is very loud making it tricky to run at night, the downstairs kids beds need new mattresses - we found them so uncomfortable that they were unusable, the upstairs main bedroom has an open cut out wall which gives great views of the lake but reduces privacy and increases noise levels, the yard is very small and you are definitely cozy with the neighbors when out there, well water also requires bringing in your own drinking water which is just something to know. The fireplace wasn’t usable during our stay bc it needed to be cleaned and the upstairs bathroom needs some repair and updates.
Ultimately I feel the owners need to do some upkeep to charge the premium price they want but it is a nice space and could be really nice. We made our stay enjoyable and appreciated the responsiveness of the owners in booking and throughout our stay.
