Great stay at an amazing location
This is a great option for a unique rental on Long Lake. The house is large enough to accommodate 2 families with plenty to do both inside and outside. The house itself has a few minor quirks but it's easily outweighed by the location (private peninsula on a beautiful lake) and unique features: the house has lots of fun rooms, panoramic views and is stocked with books, games and movies.
Overall our stay here was amazing. The location of the property on the lake is close to the public boat launch which was extremely convenient, and the amount of private yard and beach was great for our family. The dock on the property was maintained and convenient for our boat. The house is dated as the pictures and description state, but gave a very cool vibe

Great beach, home is good for multiple families
Location is incredible especially for our family with 6 kids to enjoy a private sandy beach. Guests need to be ok with old furniture and an outdated home. The AC is not central so it does get warm in the common areas.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Aug 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Chalard. We're thrilled to hear that you found the location incredible and that your family enjoyed the private sandy beach.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the old furniture, the outdated condition of the home, and the lack of central AC in the common areas. This is certainly not the standard we strive to maintain, and we understand how these issues could have impacted your stay.
Please rest assured that we have taken your feedback seriously. We are considering updates to the furniture and the home to enhance our guests' experience. Additionally, we are exploring options to improve cooling in the common areas to ensure a more comfortable stay.
We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention..

Perfect family weekend
The property couldn't be more perfect. Being on the point like it is. The grandkids loved having the water on both sides. We had
plenty of room for the fourteen of us. The kids and grandkids enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table, as well as sitting by the
campfire. It's close to many different attractions. Definitely a place we would go to again.
