Very good

This vacation home is very spacious, very comfortable and an overall relaxing getaway. We enjoyed the leaves turning colors, the bird calls & loons swimming on the water. The completely enclosed beach front yard meant that our 11 y/o Lab mix could dig her heels in for some "zoomies" on the beach. We stayed here for almost 3 weeks so having a fully stocked Kitchen, Dishwasher & Washer/Dryer gave us all the comforts of home. Personally, I found the King Mattress to be very Cozy & now I have to go looking for where I can buy that soft, fluffy comforter on the bed for my own home!! I highly recommend this house!
This was our first time using VRBO and the process was seamless. The kitchen is surprisingly stocked with everything needed to cook with. Access to the lake is right out the backyard. The stairs leading to the lake are steep but manageable. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Cathy, so glad your first VRBO experience was a great one! Happy to hear the kitchen had everything you needed and the lake access right out back was the highlight, as it should be. We'd love to have you back anytime!

Gorgeous and Relaxing!
Locke Lake Oasis was the perfect escape for my family and our dog Freddy. We were able to enjoy the water, the doc and our time together. Beautiful and so comfortable!
The code didn't work when we arrived so check in wasn't great. Summer in NE is the time to be outdoors, but the deck of this house was literally rotting; the deck furniture was broken and only offered seating for two people. The home is on a shallow, dirty cove of water, full of yellow and brown algae. It does not look safe to swim in. The grass in front of the house was a foot tall and the back of the house is in desperate need of landscaping. The neighbors are very close and there is no privacy. Inside the house I came upon this mess in the shower and the owner's response was "It's still operable". Not "I'm sorry for the mess, would you mind cleaning it up for us"? The walls of the house are paper thin and you can hear everything. The decor is cheap and aged. The rudeness of the owner, Shawn, was the icing on the a miserable experience. When I reached out the first morning to tell him we would not be staying, he was argumentative and mocking. He has zero customer service skills and should not be dealing with the public. The photos on this listing looked good, but those photos are not reality. I have never had such a poor experience renting a cottage and hope I never do again. Steer clear!

We’re genuinely sorry to see this negative review. We understand your disappointment regarding the lake water level; unfortunately, this was due to a severe drought in the area and was completely beyond our control.
Regarding the access code, our smartlock is programmed to allow entry at the official check-in time unless prior arrangements are made. Since you arrived earlier and didn’t notify us, the code would not have worked at that time.
We appreciate you reporting the broken chair on the deck. The deck has brand-new furniture, and we promptly replaced the chair as soon as we were informed. As mentioned, all our homes are inspected and photographed prior to guest arrival, and any issues reported are addressed immediately.
We also fixed the shower dispensers that were accidentally knocked off the wall. While this was an easy repair, including it as an “issue” is not accurate.
All communication took place through Vrbo, and at no point were any messages rude. We understand you were frustrated by the lake situation, but as explained, this is not grounds for a refund.
We always strive to provide an excellent experience, and it’s unfortunate that circumstances outside our control affected your stay.
