Overall, a fun stay

Overall, our stay was wonderful as the house was in a great location and was a great size for a large group of people. The outdoor accommodations were also perfect for a sunrise coffee and a sundown fire. We were a bit put off by how unkept the house was. We spent a lot of time cleaning the wrap around deck and outdoor so e as it was covered in debris, leaves, and cobwebs. Additionally, the inside was only cleaned in obvious areas. The floors were covered in dust and food crumbs, the furniture was dirty, and the refrigerator was pretty gross. A cleaning fee is charged so I’m not sure why we would have to spend any time cleaning up, but it was just too dirty to ignore. This property has great potential but it requires a lot more love and care.

Fridge was broken

Overall the property was wonderful aside from the seal on the fridge door being broken before we checked in. I called and messaged the owner about the issue with concerns of keeping our food cold (we had a lot of food) and haven’t heard back at all. It was hard to keep the fridge cold and we had to go out of our way to get ice and kept some food in the coolers. If something goes wrong during your stay, it may be hard to get a hold of the property owner in my experience. Other than these minor issues, our stay was good.

Beautiful Home

We enjoyed the home, the kayaks, and the area. Perfect home with room to stretch out and play! Couldn’t think of a single thing to do better. Would stay here again!

Great lakehouse on Lake Centralia

The O'Brist lakehouse was a great place to spend Father's Day weekend with family. Clean, well-appointed, nice patio and deck overlooking the lake and a beautiful sunset. Would definitely recommend.
