Very peaceful. Beds and furniture were different than when we booked. My daughter was too tall for the beds.The listing made it seem like we would have access to the lake. NO Lake Access from the back. Need to drive to the park and pay to park. Great Communication with the agency. If you need help at all quick response & maintenance showed up on his day off for us.

Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Annie M. 18 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Gorgeous home and setting - no lake access Big, beautiful home, gorgeous setting on the trees with a sliver of the lake in view. Very comfortable for three couples, though two had to share a bathroom. Listing was misleading in a couple of ways: three full bathrooms were listed, there are 2.5, Listing show pictures of a hot tub (and several reviews mentioned the hot tub, however it was not functional. Lastly, there is no lake access nearby. It looks like there is a path to the lake, but the neighbor’s property line crosses over the path, though the path leads to brambles. All of that said, the house was lovely. ##### Annie M.

We had planned to make pizza the fist night so it was quite a surprise to find out that the oven was not working. Some of the furniture has seen better days including one of of the upstairs beds. Given all that it is a very nice house, much bigger than the photos show. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. And deer and rabbits visit daily. ##### Jason D.

Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nikki C. 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful area, but home needs some love We stayed for 3 nights. Pros: Location- quiet area, lots of privacy & beautiful views; home had lots of space-we didn't feel like we were on top of each other; big kitchen; plenty of supplies like paper towelsCons: We didn't use the hot tub because it was dirty (which was one of the reasons we chose this VRBO); the oven door was still broken (I had read a prior review that it was broken-apparently they hadn't fixed it yet); gas fireplace didn't work; mattresses were not very comfortable; living room furniture was worn & not as comfortable as it probably was when new; our bedroom floor was obviously not swept; our bathroom shower was missing a shower curtain liner-we had to go buy one. I wish the listing specified that the primary suite of the home is unavailable to renters. They have a sign in the house that asks you to treat the home/act as if you lived there. I wish they maintained it as if they lived there. Overall, I would not book here again. ##### Nikki C.

Lots of parking and we come down for the dunes and what a nice place to come home to after a long day of riding! ##### Brandi T.

Everything was well presented just as you were staying in a hotel. Lake view you saw from all windows. So close to the Dunes, Florence and the beach can’t ask for a better location. 5 stars ##### Teresa M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally C. 11 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and comfortable I can't say enough about this house. It had 2 flights of stairs but was worth it for the bedroom space upstairs, middle floor had an open floor plan with HUGE kitchen, dining room, living room and deck with a beautiful view. Basement is set up for a family with young children. Garage has a ping pong table and opens up to the back yard. It is very nice. Short walk to the lake. We didn't have time but they also had 2 kayaks. LOVED the place. ##### Sally C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda G. 4 Jan 2023 #### Family trip Nice large home, comfortable for our family gathering. Nice location with nice view, plenty of hot water and space, ping pong table, large kitchen, efficient appliences, plenty of towels, and great balcony space/seating. Could use a little TLC. For instance, the bunk bed didn't look or sound stable so as a result we put the mattresses on the floor, the bedroom chair had a broken leg and was unusable, the hot tub would not stay warm for long, the dinning room table only seats 6, and we slipped and fell a few times using the path to the lake. ##### Amanda G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### owen s. 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family trip Very nice overall. Neighbor to the south not pleasant. Confronted us with parking in his second driveway before we even had a chance to unload. Has the path to walk down to the lake which is overgrown and understandable but on his property line and does not allow access. Irrigation line by the garage door has a broken sprinkler head so it leaks all over the lower patio. The washing machine seems to have a slight leak after doing a few loads. Did not have enough Dishwashing detergent Some of the cookware needs to be updated and larger variety of kitchen Ware. A little unclear on how we were supposed to leave the house when done.

I want others to be able to make an informed decision when booking. A big part of the reason we selected this home (at a higher price point than others) was because of the hot tub. We were disappointed to go down in our swimsuits the first night to discover the water was completely cold and the hot tub without power. I reached out to the owner for assistance and didn't receive a response until the following evening. He sent someone over to reset things, but within a couple hours of the "fix", the power was off again. Needless to say, we didn't get to use that amenity at all. I was told I would receive a credit of an unspecified amount as a result, but I haven't received anything yet. The house had a big beautiful kitchen, but we were unable to get the oven to work. All cooking had to be done on the stove or microwave. The biggest concern that I have with this rental was the fact that a kayak was offered for guests to use with knowledge there was a hole in the bottom. We thought it was wonderful that the kayaks were offered. There was a sign in the garage letting guests know they could use them and how to clean them after use. My husband took a kayak out with my 7 year old son and said he had to turn around quickly because the kayak was filling up with water. When he got back to the house and flipped over the kayak to rinse it off, he discovered a whole that had duct tape coming off around it. Concerned that someone could drown, I notified the owner of the hole. He replied that they had "taken the kayaks off the amenity list" because renters kept damaging them. He said they were only there because there was nowhere else to put them. I found this response to be so concerning. Instead of putting a sign on the kayaks saying "out of service" and alterting guests of the known hazard, they put up a sign that welcomes guests to use them "at their own risk." There was no notice that the risk was in fact taking a kayak into a large body of water with a hole in it. Please be careful. I would hate for someone to get hurt because they didn't know what they were getting in to. I sincerely hope the owners remove the kayak before anyone gets hurt. It was too bad these things put damper on our visit, because the house and location (as advertised) would have otherwise made for a great stay. ##### Katie V.

The address number is wrong as it looks like it got re-numbered. The beds are on broken frames and not comfortable. Only one kitchen garage bag and kitchen appliances should be look at for upgrades. Again peaceful location but needs some TLC. ##### Paul M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil A., Eureka, Ca.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lisa F. 18 Oct 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### In a word - Avoid !! Check in was delayed for hours as the cleaning crew was "running late". There was no hot water for washing, etc. Warm only -purposefully set and unchangeable. Likewise limits on the thermostat, etc. This is not a lake side cabin - there is no dock, and no way to avoid getting wet in the marsh leading up to the water line. The house ,which is not new(circa 2007), is not well maintained and wasn't comfortable as the property is squished in between others and share a rather tight downhill drive way with car lights etc. We'd appreciate some amount of refund. ##### Lisa F.

Close to town and Darlings Resort. We had a great experience with the rental and will definitely rent again. ##### Michele N.

It's in a great location and can accommodate a large party no problem. That said, we were a bit disappointed and surprised to find that the master bedroom was locked and not accessible upon arrival as it was not mentioned in the listing. ##### Tanner H.
