The start of something beautiful.

Came with the grandkids to visit Volo from south Indiana, short stay. Exactly what we needed, no more no less. Kids enjoyed and so did the adults. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Weekend stay

We brought our boat to the chain o lakes with family. This house was perfect for us. We were able to use the fire pit and gas grill. The house was on the water so we were able to have access to the boat the entire stay. There is a restaurant next door to the house as well. Very quiet neighborhood too. Will stay here again!!

Fun Place!

We had a fun time! Enjoyed the back deck looking at the water. Famous Freddie's next door was a nice place to hang out and it wasn't loud or annoying on Friday or Saturday night. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Will definitely try to rent again when in the area.

Not worth the $

Upon arrival we were disappointed. The parking area was full of construction equipment. House looked unkept. Spiderwebs and bugs were all over porch. Walking in, it smelled like cigarette smoke. It was clean enough. Beds slept terrible. Master bathroom was nice. The kitchen door to the garage had a doggie door but no door covering. Seemed like a good way to get critters, but we never did see any in our two night stay. We were excited to leave.

Fraud

The listing picture wasn't even close. Front yard was part of marina with boat trailers and cars. House was filthy and in disrepair. Bedroom mattress was wrapped in moving plastic. It caved in through the bedspring when you sat on it. Carpet was so dirty and moldy that when you walked out of the bedroom, your shoes would stick. Not much furniture and furniture that was there was curb pick up quality. Dishes and appliances were dirty. TV in bedroom was on the floor in the closet. Refrigerator was dented and dirty. Mouse trap on the floor of the living room and ants on the kitchen counter. Living room outlet did not work. We had a 9 night reservation and left after the first night. Listing agent responded quickly and denied this was his listing and wished us luck. We would like to get our money back but owner has not responded to our text.
