Amazing! We had such a great time. The kayaking was so fun. The lake house is simple but clean, comfortable and the host provided all your basic household need. Beds were great, shower was awesome. The private backyard overlooking the lake was my favorite thing. We watched the sunrise with a cup of coffee from the back deck, relaxing is an understatement! We will definitely be back. Even with 4 teenagers and an infant, we were comfortable. It was a much needed break from everything. Oh the fishing was good also. Cant say enough good things about this property.

Once you get past the narrow dirt road, you have reached the most peaceful lakehouse. Quiet, calm and relaxation are waiting for you.If you are lucky, Maxy, the neighborhood dog will pay you a visit.The porch/deck has rockers to sit back with your morning beverage, or relax after a day of adventures. Sitting and watching nature on the lake was fantastic. Kyaks and firepit make for a relaxing day.Kitchen is well stocked, living room has comfy couch blankets, games, information for all the area points of interest. ACs and fans keep you cool.. Very clean bathroom. Chris is a great host, he responded quickly when we communicated with him. Was fast to fix an issue to help our stay be the best it could be. If we return to this area I will be booking with Chirs again.

This was a lovely little (2 bedroom) cottage…perfect for fishing and relaxing! Love the rocking chairs on the deck overlooking the lake. We didn’t have time to fish or kayak as we were there to see the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. The VRBO was very comfy…great sofas inside. Had a visit daily from Roxy the dog. Sweet. Will return.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Wasn't great for us. The pictures are very old. The deck and the lake shore do not look like the pictures. Deck looks pretty fresh in the pictures however it's pretty rough to where we were afraid to walk barefoot. Paint was non existent where it rained and the boards pretty rough. The shore was pretty overgrown. We did not get the nice rock to water edge like in the pictures. One tree in the pictures was fairly small, upon seeing it in person it was a full blown giant tree. How many years ago was that pic taken? We brought our own kayaks and didn't even try to launch them because it didn't seem possible there. Grass had not been mowed for a while. At least a couple weeks. Now the inside.... needs some TLC. Upon walking in, it stunk of a musky smell. Don't know what it was but we bought some candles and opened the windows and that helped. The walls have many cracks, small holes, and marks. Big hole in the carpet right in the living room. Shower door was off so you can't close it all the way and it leaked by the toilet. There's a track for blinds on the sliding glass but guess what, no blinds there. Last straw for us was the grill. We planned on grilling and was forced to go out for dinner because the grill grate was so rusted that it was unusable. After that we left a full day early. The best part is a day after we got home I messaged the owner and brought up these issues. Zero response, zero apologies, couldn't even lie to me and say "I'll get on this immediately." Nothing.

Thank You for you feedback Joseph, while I'm disappointed to read this, I do want to provide some context for future guest. First, I apologize that certain aspects of the property did not meet your expectations. I take the condition and upkeep very seriously, and the maintenance concerns mentioned in this review will be addressed accordingly. Our listing has received many 5 star reviews, and I remain committed to providing the experience reflected in those reviews. I would also like to clarify the statement that your message received "zero response." At the time I was in an area without cell service and did not receive it in a timely manner. The lack of immediate response was not an attempt to ignore your concerns. After your stay, I also personally went out of my way to make sure belongings that were left were returned to you. I mention this only because it is important for future guest to understand I DO make every reasonable effort to take care of my guest, including after the stay. Some of the concerns raised here are fair maintenance items that deserve attention, and they will be dealt with, but I do not believe this review accurately reflects the overall condition or the experience the majority of guest have had. I appreciate the feedback and will use the constructive portions of it to make improvements for future guest. Thank you and take care!
