We had a great experience! My family was able to spend a week making memories! However, being at max capacity there wasn’t enough garbage bags, toilet paper and paper towels.

Tracy ~ Thank you for your review. We're happy your family was able to spend a week together making memories! We appreciate the feedback regarding supplies. As noted in our listing, we provide a limited supply of certain items such as toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags, but understand larger groups may go through items more quickly. Fortunately, there is a Family Dollar located about 3 miles from the property for anything extra that might be needed, which we are hopeful you found. We've rented vacation properties where guests were responsible for supplying everything, including linens in some cases. Based on those personal experiences, we know having a starter set of essentials is helpful. In the past, we tried providing a larger quantity, but unfortunately experienced significant loss and theft, which made that approach unsustainable. We strive to be transparent about what is included so guests can plan accordingly and avoid surprises during their stay. Thank you again for choosing Golf Shores Laona!

Stayed here in Nov for an ATV trip

Great property & location, we really enjoyed our stay here. The little things really made it extra special, labels on the light switches and the best stocked kitchen utensils & items that I've experienced at a rental home. Great place, highly recommend them!

House was beautiful and great location by the lake, we also had plenty of parking for all of our trucks with trailers for the UTV's. The neighborhood was amazing and so welcoming! Great gameroom with plenty of TV's to also watch football. Great riding and close to town if anything was needed for purchase for groceries or beverages.
