There are repairs & attention needed to the property. The kitchen has drawers that would not stay shut. The upstairs hallway bathroom stool lid was broken & would slide. The garbage disposal was weak. We couldn't see any indication light on the dishwasher to read if it was on a rinse & hold or a full cycle. We ran it but the dishes were not clean. We pulled plates out of the cabinet to use the second night we were there & they were wet. So we wondered about the washer settings The overall house needs a deep cleaning. Inside & out. One guest used the shower the first night & hair came off the drain when the water was turned on which makes you wonder if they cleaned the shower & changed the bed clothes.

Fox Family Vacation

This property was perfect for our family vacation. Enough beds for everyone and a lake to swim in. Within walking distance to Rome City and running paths for our 3 marathon runners. Everyone enjoyed their week. We would rent again.

Lakehouse Vacation

We had a great week on Sylvan Lake. The house was the cleanest we've stayed at so far, with more than enough space for our group. We enjoyed the lake, and the town, walking the path to get ice cream was a highlight for the kids. We would definitely stay here again!

We had the BEST time at the lake! This spot is perfect for multiple couples like we had or multiple families. I don't know if it's just my old age, but I appreciate good AC and easy accommodations, this house had both. Rent a boat from west lake rentals for the weekend. We will definitely be back soon.

Friends Reunion

It was a great place to connect with friends and our families. Love the location on the water and the rooms accommodated our large group. We were able to rent a pontoon and pull it right up to the house as well as enjoy the lake. Great firepit and scenery.
