Everything was as described in the listing, lots of space and room. The owner was phenomenal, kept communicating with us to ensure wer alright and didn't need anything. The kids had lots of fun from playing board games, using the jacuzzi to swimming ( beach is about 5 min away). Over all it was great.
We really enjoyed our stay, the house was spacious and we liked that we could all dine together around the table. The only problem was that we had to drive to the beach. We thought from the pictures that the water was a minute away. It was, but we had not access to it. The public beach at sand lake was amazing and lovely but it was public and it was not outside the cottage. Hat was the only problem! Otherwise it is a lovely place.
Was absolutely horrible, We were not able to park in the driveway cause it was so narrow, The snow banks were so high, We drive a full size diesel truck, we also had our skidoo trailers and had to park on the road, House looks like it’s falling apart cracks in the ceiling & walls. As soon as walking into the house there was vomit in the snow bank. The dish washer is not attached to the wall, The sink faucet is not attached, Took all night to heat up the hot tub, There was urine out side the sauna. This women wouldn’t even talk to me on the phone, She wanted to talk though the app only, Worst trip ever, Please don’t waste your time or money on this place, The house is not what it looks like in the pictures!

Terribly disappointed
As a property owner on VRBO I feel I have a responsibility to all other property owner to leave a honest review.
Pulling up to the property it looked pretty dilapidated. Inside looked like the leftovers from a yard sale. There was not enough seating anywhere in the house to accommodate the 8 of us but the listing said up to 12. The sauna did not work, the tv in the listing was for decoration only, unable to play anything on it. Projector in the basement was old and incompatible. Cornhole game was broken and unplayable. String lighting hung In the basement as only lighting source.
We had to wear shoes while inside because the floors were filthy. All taps were loose. Dishwasher was not attached and almost fell forward when opened. Other issues to numerous to list.
Water access is very difficult to find. When we asked a neighbour and had a conversation regarding the owners of this property they were described as ‘not being very honest’.
As a renter all I want is what is advertised. Just be honest in your ad. Provide people with what they are paying for.
Renters, lower your expectations or look elsewhere.
