"We absolutely loved this rental. The beach area was great for family activities. Plenty of space to run around, swim, toss a ball around and have the fire pit going. The dock was great for fishing and older kids. The communication was easy and reply’s were prompt. Wish we had more days there. "

"Property was very clean and had beautiful lake views. Beds were comfortable and we were able to bring our dogs."

"Loved the house! The owners were great. Accommodations were fantastic. The owner checked in with me a couple times while I was staying there to make sure everything was good. Would definitely stay here again. The area was great. "

"The lake view was amazing - beautiful sunsets, beach area, and calming vistas. Even better, we were able to bring our furry family member. We took the boats out and explored the lake and coves. Definitely recommend!!"

"The place was in great condition. Really enjoyed the lake views and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening. I would definitely stay here again. Management team was easy to communicate with and very responsive."

"While aesthetically pleasing, this property failed to meet the specifications outlined in the listing and the terms of the rental agreement.Communication & Check-InThe check-in process was inefficient and poorly managed. The host failed to provide entry instructions proactively and subsequently provided incorrect information. It required three separate points of contact before the property could be accessed. Property Condition & AccuracyThe property’s actual condition deviates significantly from its advertised "premium" status:Accommodations: The advertised "King" bed consisted of two twin mattresses pushed together.Maintenance: Several drawers lacked hardware, and the shower floor was stained.Exterior: A non-functional go-cart remained in the driveway for the duration of the stay.Furnishings: Beyond the kitchen, the home is outfitted with basic rental-grade furniture.Amenities & Contractual ObligationsThe hot tub—a primary feature of the listing—was non-functional for the entire week. While the host requires guests to purchase specialized insurance to protect the property's "value," they failed to deliver the amenities guaranteed in their own contract.Dispute ResolutionThe host’s attempt at resolution was inadequate. The offered compensation was less than the cost of a single night's stay. Furthermore, the host was evasive with third-party mediators (VRBO), claiming an incorrect contact number despite having used that same number for direct communication"

"House boat was great! We expected all 6 of us to have a place to sleep as advertised, but were unable to. We luckily brought a few cots to accommodate. "
