Hello Evelyn! Thank you for staying with us. It's always awesome when the property is better than expected. We love hearing that family not only get away together but are able to play games and create some awesome memories. We can't wait to have y'all back with us again.
Loved the house. We cold not use the balcony’s because neighbors burned brush all weekend. This I know is out of your control. Still aggravating for us to have to deal with the smoke. Ashes on our vehicles every morning. You could smell smoke really strong in basement bedroom on lake side of house. You have a great house and we still had good time.

Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad you loved the house and still had a good time despite the circumstances. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration the smoke caused during your stay. We understand how disappointing it must have been to not be able to fully enjoy the balconies, and we appreciate you understanding that this was outside of our control. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a smoke-free and even more enjoyable stay in the future.
This was the perfect home to have a weekend getaway. Everything was great…. All amenities operated well and it felt like home. The only thing missing is a blender, but Walmart was close enough. Great location and the hosts anticipated guest needs brilliantly. -Dr. Harris

Would stay again, but....
The property is lovely. We all got the impression that maybe the floors had been skipped in the cleaning process. but it wasn't horrible. We got a chuckle when we saw the lake was down. Kinda takes away from the view, but we totally understand. The community was beautiful!! Overall it was a great stay.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the property did not meet your expectations and that the grass was overgrown. We strive to maintain our properties to ensure a pleasant experience for our guests. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable stay in the future.
We booked this property as our 4th stay as a family on Lake Douglas as we thoroughly enjoy the lake. The house is a newer model and was very spacious and nice. We were extremely disappointed by the lack of lake access at this property. The photos are a bit deceiving. We knew there was no dock but expected to have a beach type landing area to at least float in the lake. The area that is pictured is now overgrown and you cannot access the water. Overall it’s a great property in a great location. But if you want water access- this rental will not provide it despite the listing encouraging you to kayak and enjoy other lake activities.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your loyalty as a returning guest at Lake Douglas. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the spaciousness and condition of the house, but we’re sorry to learn about your disappointment regarding the lake access. We apologize for any confusion caused by the photos and acknowledge the importance of clear communication about the property’s amenities. Your input is invaluable, and we will look into addressing this issue to ensure future guests have accurate expectations. We hope to welcome you back for another stay, and we appreciate your understanding.
First off, great layout, clean and kids loved the media room. Slept comfortably 5 people and room for more if needed. Everything was stocked and worked properly. Cute get away! Would definitely stay again. Biggest issues: the pic is misleading regarding the lake. It’s definitely dried up. We read reviews ahead of time so this wasn’t a big deal for us. One issue they should revise on site is the GPS does NOT take you to the entrance. You need to take a left onto blue herring road NOT white Timberlake road!!! White Timberlake takes you to construction entrance. Cute place, would rent again!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the layout and that the media room was a hit with the kids. It’s great to hear that everyone slept comfortably and that the amenities met your needs. We appreciate your input regarding the lake and the GPS directions; we'll work on making that clearer for future guests. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay!
After following the step by step directions given we ended up at a construction site. One we actually found the rental, we found NO LAKE , it was dried up. We choose the rental for the water as the kids love playing in water and kayaking. Game room had games that did not work. Stove handle was broken. Beds are hard. Definitely an over all disappointment.

No Lake Not Kid Friendly
The inside of the cabin was nice, but the outside was not what was advertised. There is no lake, its dried up and right near the driveway is a big drop off with no fence. The stairs to the dried up lake, are extremely steep. Not kid friendly outside. There is no yard for the kids. I specifically asked about fishing, and they never let us know the lake was dried up. It looks like its been drained for some reason, but there is no lake. Extremely disappointed in the exterior of the property. We specifically picked this place because of the lake

Prior to our stay, the property manager was ask if we could dock a boat and fish from the property. She said we could do both. Once we arrived, we found that there was no dock and that access to the water was dangerous. Messaged her back the day of check-in to ask about docking the boat and she did not reply for two days. She then just told us that that property didn’t have a dock but another property there did. Part of our vacation was planned for being in a boat and fishing. We had also said we were interested in adding the extra day for half price, but without being able to be on the boat we did not want the extra day. Very much changed our vacation.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more enjoyable stay in the future.
First of all, when you are going to the place the directions will tell you to turn on Timberlake Rd......DO NOT TURN!!!! Just stay straight on the main road and it will go around a curve, the community entrance is right after that curve. Also, I don't know if it is an odd occurrence or not but there was no lake at all when we went. I mean, we walked all the way out to this little tiny stream that was in the back and you could tell there used to be a lake, but it was gone while we were there. Those were really the two main issues we had. Other than that the house is adorable, nice a close to everything without being in the middle of the crowds and the neighborhood was nice and quiet.
