Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### G W C. 29 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property may be okay for young families, but not for us as senior citizens. Unfortunately, the way the vrbo system works, we don't get location details until payment is submitted. As we found out, the "may be a detour" comment from the owner's check-in instructions was actually a main road closure, so we had only one way in and out. Beyond that, the gravel trail leading into the place was partially washed out to the point we felt unsafe, especially if trying to navigate at night. The cabin itself smelled musty and dank, per my wife's sensitivities. For these reasons, we stayed only one night (of 12 nights booked) and advised the owner of the things mentioned above. We have plenty of photos of vrbo wants to see them. Again unfortunately, the owner has chosen profit over customer satisfaction - choosing to keep the entire rental amount, rather than any form of concession. We recognize the vrbo's disclaimer policy when it comes to owner-renter agreements. After six straight years of using vrbo, this year is probably our last. ##### G W C.

You could hear the birds, see wildlife, and enjoy a paddle around the lake in the kayaks. The lakehouse is a wonderful place to take small children to learn to use a kayak as there is no wakes on the lake to scare them and give them time to get the hang of it. The lakehouse is a perfect place to unwind and get rid of electronics my child didnt ask one time for anything electronic. She is enjoyed the kayaks, playing cards, and board games. You also arent far from the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum. ##### Chelsea W.

Fishing and just peace and quiet. Day 1: Two large barking jumping -and not in a fun way- German Shepards met us at the patio as we were coming outside with our crab boil. Day 2: Woke up by mice in the bedroom rustling in an empty trash can Owners said Sorry and they will get an exterminator. Overall, I wish they would invest in a comfortable bed with nice linens and recaulk the bathroom. Find something nicer. Driveway will kill your car. ##### Serenity C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Dionne R. 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Needs a little TLC Really cute place but could use a little TLC. There's a little book for visitors to write in, their experience about their stay, and going back as far as 2022 the SAME complaints are still being written. Mainly the master bedroom mattress, and the TV in the living room needs to be replaced. Could just put bedroom TV In living room... easy fix. I mean, you're probably not visiting to watch TV, but we stayed a week and so enjoy movies at night. Also, the dogs barking... all around you! Pretty much every morning. NOT the owners fault, but really sucks trying to enjoy the peace and quiet that they are shooting for here. For the amount we paid for the week, these things corrected would have made our review a five star!I could go on with more trivial changes but I won't. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the visits from one of the resident dogs named Roxy was a bit annoying at first, but we quickly realized she was very sweet and just wanted to chill with us!Kayaking was fun and we did a little fishing but didn't catch anything. Porch was nice to sit on and just take in the beauty of it all, until the barking starts lolOh and the dead tree kind of blocks an open view of the water... cut it down!Over all, really nice experience and Chris was BEYOND gracious and kind. ##### Dionne R.

This is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the lakeview. It is nicely decorated, with a well equipped kitchen. Four women stayed there comfortably. My granddaughters loved the luxurious shower snd the free kayaks. I loved just sitting on the deck, and looking at the peaceful water.

It may seem like you aren't at the right place, or that youre driving thru someone's yard, but once we got to the house, we had the best time. The directions were perfect, and the house was clean, and had everything we needed to have a great trip! ##### Richelle F.

The property is nice. Inside the cottage is nice. Everything went very well. The only thing my wife and l found to be an issue and it may not be for other people but going in and out of the driveway it’s a big challenge and we did not look forward to it every time we had to go out and come back. Otherwise, it was a really nice stay on the property. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer N. 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful getaway The lakehouse is very cozy and peaceful.

We watched the beavers swimming around the dock as well as the herring and rabbits. Very relaxing after a busy day at the Ark. ##### Glenn S.

Lake house was clean and cozy. Supplied with things that you didn't realize that you forgot. Very peaceful and quiet. Right on the lake, which had great fishing. While fishing one night, three beavers swam right past me. Saw otters playing twice. Just a quiet, peaceful, great fishing place. ##### William B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025
