Annual winter getaway

This is a beautiful property nestled in the woods by a small pond/lake. Perfect for nature lovers, as you are surrounded by woods and forests. Donald gave clear check in and check out instructions. The home and grounds are actually bigger and nicer than shown in the pictures. Weā€™re thinking about doing our summer family vacation here!

Wonderful Thanksgiving holiday

Beautiful house on a beautiful piece of land. My family of 13, from 5 years old to 83 years old had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the spacious and comfortable house and loved exploring the pond and property.

Our stay was great, could not get any of the TV to work . A pile of wires in corner, said it all. Everything else was perfect and comfortable!!! We all enjoyed the stay very much. Decorated nicely. Could use a ping pong table or pool table. šŸ˜

Wonderful getaway

My family and I had a great time on our 3-night stay. I easily reached the owner when I had difficulty entering the door (I was at the wrong door haha). We very much enjoyed the canoe and paddleboat. The kitchen was freshly renovated and furnished with everything we needed to prepare large group meals. The cottage offers the best of both worlds: a rustic feel but with modern benefits (a/c, TVā€™s in every room, bathroom vents, updated appliances). I pile definitely return.

Great family get away

This is our second time staying at this ā€œlake houseā€. Itā€™s in a great location with its own lake. The kitchen was updated and the lower level/basement seemed to be pretty new which was great. WIFI is spotty but thatā€™s to be expected when youā€™re in the woods that also made my kids stay outside most of the time, which I didnā€™t mind. My kids were fishing pretty much every day even in the 90 degree heat. There are ample fish in the lake plus a few surprises as my son caught a 5lb large mouth. We had a few issues with the AC and batteries missing in remotes which i contacted the owner about. Very prompt responses which was refreshing. Overall, we had a great time and my kids canā€™t wait to go back. Thank you!

Property Not as Described, Major Safety and Cleanliness Issues

I recently stayed at this property, and I was extremely disappointed with my experience. The property did not match the description provided. Here are the main issues we encountered:Faulty Steps: One member of our group fell and got injured due to faulty steps. This is a significant safety hazard that must be addressed immediately.Dusty Rooms: The rooms were not clean and had a noticeable layer of dust, which made the stay uncomfortable.King Beds: There are only two king beds, not three. One bed is a trundle for a full-size bed. The trundle has to be put up and connected which was difficult to do. Loose Faucet: The faucet in the bathroom was loose and difficult to use. It needs to be fixed to ensure proper functionality.Broken Window: One of the windows was broken, which not only affected the room's temperature but also posed a safety risk.Broken Chair: There was a broken chair in the living room, making it unusable and adding to the overall discomfort.Overall, this property was not up to the standards promised in the listing. I strongly recommend that the host make immediate repairs and address these issues to ensure the safety and comfort of future guests

Huge disappointment

There was a constant, loud banging coming from the heating system that was like a loud Chinese water torture. We had to turn the heat off to make it stop but the house quickly got cold. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway this is not the place. Home was very dirty as well. We left after less than 24 hours.

Not everything available in listing

We were very disappointed to find that the bottom floor was blocked off, which included another bathroom and more bedrooms, even though those spaces were included in the listing. We only had available to us 2 bathrooms, 1 room with 2 twin bunks, 1 room with a Queen, 1 room with a king, and the loft. In addition, there was nowhere to put trash outside, and the animals picked through it, leaving a mess. There were some plumbing issues, as well (backed up drain), which we fixed ourselves. Donald was responsive on the last 2 issues, but these were things we needed to attend to which we didn't expect. We would have appreciated a heads-up about bringing our own garbage bags. Other than these things, it was a nice space, but we would probably not stay there again.

Many things in disrepair

The house is great, location lovely. We had a wonderful time despite the drawbacks. Drawbacks: 4 rails missing on upper deck railing... very dangerous for small children! Master bedroom windows wide open when we arrived and were stuck open the entire time. Air conditioner in master bedroom broke two days into trip; thankfully that's when the hot weather stopped! Air conditioner in a downstairs bedroom iced over and leaked. Paddle boat sunk and in bad shape; obviously has been that way for awhile, so we only had one boat instead of the promised two. Tried to contact owner, which was difficult since VRBO's system did not deliver some of the time, would not allow me to send my cell # to him so we could communicate via text. Owners response to sunk boat: "its a shame that renters don't respect our property"... (not my problem!! House was advertised to have two boats!) Owners response to windows stuck open in master bedroom: "Maybe you can removed screens and pull the windows closed"... (this would have involved moving the king sized bed to get to the window and hanging out of a 2nd story window to try to fix). Also, "Private Lake" is not accurate. Its more of a pond, and there is another house just across the pond, where there was a party with VERY loud music on Saturday night. Thankfully, they were gone by Sunday. We just gave up on trying to get anything fixed while we were there, and enjoyed the rest of our trip. Fishing great, pond lovely, house clean.

Mixed review.

It took us a bit of time to find the property. It wasnā€™t marked as stated and it was quite a bit off the beaten path ( that was a good thing). We were looking for isolation. When we got into the house we noticed that the floors werenā€™t very clean and the fridge needed internal cleaning as well. We washed the floors and cleaned fridge. We also were concerned about how the bedding looked so we washed that as well. We then noticed a leak under the kitchen sink in the ā€œUā€ drain pipe and the cold water valve. Called the owner and he said he would send a plumber, tomorrow (Monday). The leak was enough to require that a fairly Decent sized bowl had to be emptied each day. Plus the odor was not pleasant since it was a drain pipe. We also contacted the owner and complained about the lack of cleanliness. This all took place within the first 3 hrs of moving in. The owners response to the cleanliness issue was ....ā€œIā€™ve only gotten top tier reviews. It might be better if you leave now and Iā€™ll give you a full refund ( not the response that makes you feel wanted after a long journey) ā€œ Itā€™s unfortunate because it is a very nice venue. We got the seclusion we were looking for and the house is very nice. The only other issue is that it was advertised that there were many varieties of fish in the lake, so we came prepared for all manner of fish. In the final analysis only sun fish were home. By the way, a plumber never appeared.
