Unique 6 Bedroom Lakeview Home with Roof Terrace

Thanks for writing, and we're glad that you enjoyed your stay! Regarding the roof, we have a limitation of people on the roof for safety purposes so don't provide more seating than the listed capacity. However, for 2027 we are getting new and improved furniture and a new deck surface so that should enhance the rooftop experience for all users.

Glad that you all enjoyed yourselves!

Glad that you enjoyed the house, you're always welcome back!

Hi James, glad you all liked it!

Sorry about the insects, but all the houses near the lake get lots of insects attracted by the moisture. We pressure wash it as often as possible but it's difficult to have a complete eradication without regularly spraying poison, which I'd rather not do. Regarding smoke, we've had no tenant issues with smoke before this visit or after, but I'll ask our housekeeper to double check and air out the house if there is even a hint of smoking, which is not permitted in the house.

We try to be as transparent as possible with the check-in time and it is clearly noted, along with a later than typical check-out time to compensate for this. We can usually arrange an early check-in if guests ask, as long as there is no one departing that morning but we weren’t asked and were not made aware that it was an issue. Regarding cleanliness, the house has had uniformly high reviews for interior cleanliness over the last three years that it's been open but we try to be aware of everyone's unique sensitivities and are always looking at new products and methods to help us improve. This has been a pet-free house until we changed the policy in June 2025 and there were no pets before these guests. There is no basement living room so I'm not sure what space is being referenced. The living room has ceilings that are almost 11' high with lots of natural light, see the pictures. Regarding pool cues and darts, we get a lot of kids who enjoy the games but inevitably break things so it's been a never-ending task to keep them in good repair. We're working on that one.

We're glad that you enjoyed your stay and sorry that you had a couple minor issues. Regarding some of the comments, we provide the same amount of start-up paper products as other houses, including garbage bags. It's our policy to not keep any food in the house between visits for hygiene reasons, especially to avoid ants. it is a non-smoking house and but even with that we always open all the windows and air the house out in case some guests aren't respectful. Lastly, the kitchen chairs have been used very successfully over several years in this and our other rental and no chairs had been broken or damaged until this group.

I'm glad that you all enjoyed your stay but we always look for ways to make it the best it could be so thanks for the comments. The queen beds are just larger versions of the twins, we'll look into that but haven't heard that comfort issue before. The supplies are comparable to what are provided by peer houses in this market. The W/D has been a pretty good workhorse and is an OK size for a vacation house. Up on the open roof deck, the furniture is aways going to take a beating from the elements but we will investigate and fix any damaged pieces. Sorry it rained so early in your visit, but weather exposure causing sometimes wet furniture is the price we pay to preserve the great view and sunshine up there. Lastly, when we designed the house we specifically chose to provide armoires rather than typical closets, as closets would be very empty for what folks typicaly bring on vacation and that square footage would be much better utilized for general living areas.

Glad that you had some positive experiences, but sorry about your issue with the beds. In the four years that the house has been open this is the first time that anyone has brought up that concern. We'll look at this carefully and see what might be done, as we are always trying to improve, but it hasn't been a problem in the past.

I don't have any idea why this group left a one-star rating. My housekeeper was even able to coordinate an early check-in and we responded promptly to all questions both before and after arrival, as we do for all guests.
