Fun

The house combined modern amenities with comfort, set against a backdrop of breathtaking views. Every room was spacious and welcoming, ensuring our group had both the privacy and communal space needed for a memorable getaway. The well-equipped kitchen and cozy bedrooms added to our overall enjoyment. It's a place we'd happily return to and recommend to others seeking a perfect rental experience.

Family Long Weekend

The house was perfectly sized for our family of 6 adults and 1 teenager. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The family space was large enough for all of us to gather together in the living room and to eat together at the table. We were surprised that the lake had gone down so much that there was not water in sight of the house because the pictures used show the water being close to the house. The upstairs was significantly warmer than the downstairs to the point that no one wanted to be upstairs and the extra fan and ceiling fans did not help to cool it down. This was not a major issue for us as we did not spend most of our time in the house or upstairs. We enjoyed the jacuzzi, which comfortably accommodated 3 adults and we loved the horseshoes in the backyard.

Wonderful home in great neighborhood

Beautiful home with great amenities. Would definitely recommend and stay again. The only bummer was the water behind the house shown in the pictures was completely dried up.

Great Getaway

The house was perfect for our family. Most everything was very clean - the one thing we noticed that seemed dirty were the outer blankets on the twin downstairs trundle, but we brought our own blankets so it wasn’t a problem. The layout of the house is great, and master is very spacious and nice - especially if you wish for your younger kids to sleep in the same room as you, without having to be in the same bed. With the master being on the main floor and the two additional bedrooms being upstairs, it provided the perfect amount of privacy for our older kids too. The view was peaceful and neighborhood nice. Although the property is near the airport runway, we didn’t experience any issues or loud planes. Overall we would definitely stay here again!

Amazing location and beautiful cabin

We stayed here for two nights and three days, and had an amazing time. The cabin is extremely clean and comfortable. The beds were awesome and my kids loved having their own rooms with televisions. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and tucked away from a ton of hectic traffic. The Jacuzzi was very easy to use and the out door patio in the back of the cabin had a wonderful view. The only thing that is a bit deceptive is that the photo shows water going right in front of the cabin and as of September, the lake is down to 15 feet. The water does not reach the cabin at all but there is a beautiful meadow that is gorgeous at sunrise. We will absolutely try to stay here again!

Summer getaway

We did enjoy our visit, and the cabin had everything on hand you might need and good instructions on hand. But… we would have enjoyed it a lot more if it had been winter… with no AC it got very hot. The second floor was unbearable even with extra fans blowing and our daughters struggled to sleep in the heat. Also that cover picture is quite misleading. We thought we would be looking out at a lake. There was no lake.

Beautiful Cabin

This cabin is amazing, it was so clean and lots of beds, large couch to enjoy movie night. My teens loved the jacuzzi and foosball table. The kitchen has everything you need and huge dining table. 5 min drive to the lake so this was very convenient and basically everything was close to the cabin. The only trouble we had was that the garage door wasn’t closing or opening at times and also the sliding doors for the downstairs bedroom wouldn’t lock and we were nervous about leaving the cabin unlocked. Tried calling maintenance many times but no answer, finally called the reservation line and a request was initiated. Nobody called us back and being our last night there we decided to still go out and luckily everything was fine. Overall we loved our stay in this beautiful cabin and will definitely be returning here.

Great place to stay for families!

We had a great time here and will gladly return. The backyard was great for families and the living area was very spacious for enjoying time together. The beds were all comfortable and everything worked without a problem. I do think the check in process could have easily been done without having to go to their office since this property had a keyless entry. The management also did not seem to know if we had paid or not and wouldn't give us the address of the main office to check in because they assumed we hadn't paid when we had. Other than that, everything was wonderful!

Pictures do not do this awesome property justice

I only gave this property 4 stars for “accuracy of listing” because the photos on Vrbo do no do this wonderful property justice. The interior of the property looked at bit tired and dated and it absolutely wasn’t. It was wonderful. The home is well-stocked with everything you need. It’s very comfortable. It’s better than it looks online and the neighborhood is SUPER CUTE. I would totally stay in this home again.

Great place! Looking forward to booking again.

Super easy check in, great kitchen supplies and great views of the pond. There’s a little area that feels like a little cafe, great place to have breakfast.

Overall happy

The location on the pond and mountain views are excellent. The main reason for less than all 5 stars was we found dog hair on the extra bed in the master and other spots. On the bottom of our socks every day was dog hair. Looking under the couches it was not clean. The rest of the house was pretty clean but the vacuum in the garage looked old and never emptied. So our opinion is if you rent to dog owners do a very deep cleaning. Hairs were white, guessing from a lab. Big turn off for us as we had a small child in the house. We will make sure to ask next time and rent a home that does not allow pets. The master bath could use a remodel. Kitchen could use granite counters. (grout in the tile was old, dirty, pieces missing) I would recommend new pots and pans as well or bring your own if you plan to cook. It's too bad about the dog hair this place is otherwise nice. If they did not allow pets I would rent again.
