The house was lovely and exactly as described/pictured with no surprises. We had a wonderful time and the host was incredibly reponsive with any questions we had. Of all the VRBOs we've stayed in, we think this one was the best! ##### Mitch K.

We took full advantage of the game room, ample bathrooms, and kayaks by the lake. It was also close to the outlets and supermarket. I’d say you’re definitely getting the property as advertised. My only drawbacks were the cleanliness of the hot tub and bathrooms. Overall, I was satisfied with the property and it met my families needs. ##### Aliza M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Phil S. 6 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Lakefront Needs some repair and a lot of updates. Holds a lot of people. Nice hot tub, Great Lake front. Paddle boat and canoes need a good cleaning like the rest of the house. ##### Phil S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharon N. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Emerald Lakes The house was spacious but would not recommend for toddlers or elderly. No 1st floor bedroom, 2 flights of stairs, no carpeting. 2 out of 3 bathrooms had tubs that were very slippery, no handles or grab bars and the tub doors were not fastened to the tub so they just swayed on the bottom. We had 12 people but the utensils were less. Also deck did not have any railing with 2 steps down. Great location but you need an amenity pass for the beach, indoor/outdoor pools and playgrounds. They cost $30/pp for 3 consecutive days, quite pricey. The pedal boat did not work that well. So be careful as to what is advertised. All in all we had a good time but was disappointed in the above. Because of the safety issues we will not rent again. ##### Sharon N.
