We appreciated the last minute availability and opportunity to stay here over Easter weekend. The pros include plenty of space, plenty of things for the kids and adults to do, luxury bathrooms and an eye capturing, unique design of the interior. The cons include an unkept/ dirty dock/ kayaks, non working pellet smoker that my family had to fix, non working advertised grill, empty propane tank in fire pit, imbalance of chemicals in hot tub and non working washing machine. If all of these cons are addressed the property is truly worth the money and would have been rated 5 stars by my family. ##### Tracy D.

We went to a big family celebration at Lake Coleman and found this gem on VRBO. Waterfront and large enough for my adult kids and their spouses to all spread out. Our grand kids were supposed to be with us but an unfortunate change of plans kept them from coming - however the gameroom with all the bunks will be so PERFECT for the next trip up, which we plan to go back soon. The home is so comfortable. The deck with water view is lovely, the covered dock on the water is ideal. The beds are so comfortable, and the host, Brandi was terrific! We can't wait to go back again!
