Annual family gathering

We want to get our kids and grandkids together once a year and this is how we do it. Swimming...fishing and relaxing near water. This was a really nice venue to do that.

A great spot on a very nice lake

This was as advertised. A peaceful and very nice lake home. We loved the location and enjoyed what both the lake and Hayward had to offer. So many positives with this vacation spot. What would even make it better is the addition of a washer/dryer and water softener with iron filter. Thank you for having us.

Family get together

The property was clean. The dock on the water was wobbly. The deck and steps outside needed stain. I didn’t think we met Amy. A woman and her son were cleaning up to 4pm check in time and I’m not sure it was Amy Didn’t identify her self and said sh would be back tomorrow to bring another water canister. The rest of week was good!

Family reunion

We were there 3 years ago it looked the same. Had a Kerig now that was nice . didn’t have any issues My sisters rented a few doors down an aunt and sister in law rented a couple of miles away. It worked out well. Use to be a restaurant/bar at the end that was nice but was changed to a private resort ( we knew that ahead of time) missed that. Added a dog at the last minute but was not a problem! Overall it was a good time

Sept stay

Property was set up very nicely. Beds were very comfortable. Lacked hand towels in bathrooms. No outside garbage cans. In a week you acquire a fair amount of trash. Saw neighbor and offered to pay him to allow us to add to his trash cans since we were uncomfortable leaving it on the porch as suggested. The bedroom carpets all had significant amount of pet stains on them. The oven and stove could use a good cleaning as well. Be aware that the water is maybe safe to drink but I wouldn’t. It was quite brown. Be sure to bring drinking water with you. The location was fabulous. The pier was nice as well

90th birthday for mumsy

Beautiful 4 bedroom home and location (2 bdrms up/2bedrms down with fully exposed walkout basement, gorgeous views, adorable decor, privacy (dead end road), peaceful, accomodating host/manager met all of our needs (a beautiful cooler/water filter system) and the manager filled twice with bottled H20, and took the garbage! Nice private dock, yard and fire pit! Really, no complaints! The only concern was a swimming beach access on the property. With several people with disabilities, we could not swim or wade from our shore (boulders for erosion control with steep bank). Would have loved and really missed a small beach (my whole family are part fish! lol). However, a few miles down the road toward Hayward was a gorgeous public boat landing and beach! The only hassle was loading/unloading all of our gear. All in all...a great vacation!!!

Great for multiple families

The photos don't do this cabin justice! Everything was better than expected. Beds were comfortable, however the kids would have preferred bunks (4 girls, 2 per room). Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked, including a crockpot, high end blender, roasting pan, etc. Nice gas grill as well. Per other reviews, the iron is very noticeable in the water, however they did provide drinking water and the smell was not as bad as you would expect. As for outside, we enjoyed the use of the kayaks, put a few of our own hammocks up in the trees and spent as much time as possible relaxing. The lake was too weedy for our kids near the shore/dock, but we brought our own boat and rented a pontoon from a nearby resort so we spent every day cruising the expansive lake and beaching on Big Island for swimming fun. We loved how close we were to town, trails for our ATV (plenty of parking for trailers) and how close we were to resorts for a quick stop via water or ATV. Amy was easy to work with, great at communication, and very welcoming. We loved our stay and would book again!

The home was very clean with a nice view of the lake.The dock was up too high witch made it hard to secure the boat bumpers to it.

Beautiful house for our family to come together and enjoy the water for fun and fishing. Rooms were spacious and Beds were super comfortable! I love the coffee bar and fully stocked kitchen. Could use some maintenance though. Had AC issues with water in the basement so had to deal with maintenance during the stay. Showers weren't optimal, Boat lift didn't work and could also use a better vacuum for pet hair cleanup. Also...didn't notice that this house does not include a washer and dryer.
