Beautiful!!

This home exceeded our expectations! My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Spacious home with lots of natural light and all the essentials. Really appreciated the flexibility of the property manager when our travel plans changed. I would love to come back and spend more time.

6/10 Okay

The house is beautiful and spacious. The lake is very relaxing with minimal boat traffic. During our stay, there were multiple days of rain and we experienced a significant roof leak. There was a place in the ceiling in front of the stairs that looked as if it had been repaired multiple times. This area was the first place we noticed a leak. As the rain continued, there were multiple other places that began to leak. One of the ceiling lights in the living room had a stream of water that filled a 1/2 gallon bucket. There was wet carpet in the pool table room and water under the floor covering in the living room from a leak that we were unable to see. We communicated with the host and maintenance man multiple times. The maintenance man came over 3 times in attempts to stop the leaks. We communicated our concerns with the host and a few minutes after the message was sent, the maintenance man called and asked what could be done to rectify the situation and for us to not leave a bad review. Since there was 2 days of dealing with roof leaks, we requested compensation of only 2 nights. The maintenance man responded that the host would only compensate 1 night and offer a free 2 night visit in the future because she has to pay the cleaning fee, maintenance man, and now a professional roofer and he stated “she doesn’t have it” We declined the offer. The host contacted us and again offered a 2 night stay in the future as the roof repairs were going to be a big expense.
