Family, Friendly, Family Ready
Our experiences was very good. It was our first getaway with all of our families together and everyone was very happy. The house was beautifully set up and accommodated the whole family including a high chair and playpen/bed for babies. There were only a couple of comlaints. The dishwasher was hard to figure out,The screen doors did not work the best, .and not enough garbage bags. All in all it was a great stay! Fantastic location!

Family and golf getaway
The property was very nice as advertised. My wives sisters and their husbands do an annual golfing getaway and Eagle River area was our choice this year. Loved the house which served our group well. Enjoyed a fire pit night and several games of billiards. Would highly recommend this home.

Great space and location but the rest is meh
I’ve stayed in houses with hosts that communicate much better. This home is run by a service. I asked days before departing whether there were towels and a hair dryer so I knew what to pack. It wasn’t listed in the app. No response. Fortunately they had both in the house but please just answer people so they know what to bring. Also service/cleaning fee for 3 days was $600. They only clean once (which is fine if you do it right but my cleaning service only charges $200 to clean a bigger house and they do an awesome job). We got there and there was hair and dust all over the wood floors. That had not been cleaned properly. I have a photo from the time of arrival in case the property owner is interested in seeing how their cleaning service performs. It’s a big house so I get that it won’t be perfect, but hair and dust means you didn’t bother to vacuum or mop the kitchen. You can’t ask people to start the dishwasher and pull off sheets ‘to help your staff’ if you’re charging that much and don’t start with a really clean house upon arrival. In the kitchen: pans, utensils and plates are in good shape and there’s plenty, however no oil, napkins or seasonings like all other homes I’ve stayed in. There was one very small roll of paper towels. No one wants to buy and carry that stuff back. So we ate out almost the entire time with the exception of breakfast. They do offer kayaks in the shed but they were covered with dirt and spider/webs and since I didn’t feel like cleaning on vacation, we passed on that. As far as activities, there was a pool table which was nice but no games, card decks or puzzles for rainy days like I’ve seen at other VRBO properties. For $1000+/night for 5 people, guess I expected more. The one saving grace for them was that the day we arrived someone with a new cell number started communicating with us and he was more responsive by text but y’all should have started with that!

Family trip Up North
Overall we enjoyed the house. There was plenty of room and the location was good. We were on a busy part of the lake, so depending on what you’re looking for, this could be good or bothersome. We did have a few issues: -no boat lift even though we called Vacasa and they verbally confirmed there was a boat lift for guest use -dirty cooking utensils (this was not a matter of sanitation, there was old, dried food stuck to the utensils but there’s a disclaimer over the kitchen sink that dishes are not “sanitized” -the towel rack in master king bedroom was falling off, not huge issue but could easily break -the lights for the master bedroom king bed do not work -the nightlight lightbulb was out on the first floor bathroom -the kitchen oven overhead lights were out and the kitchen was very dark, the space was still nice to gather, but for the quality and price of this luxury house, we expected these minor amenities to be available. We communicated all this through VRBO app and via email and no responses, so that was a little disappointing. I did see later that there was a name and number listed in pamphlet, not sure why we wouldn’t get a response through VRBO? Despite that stuff, we enjoyed ourselves. Not things that would ruin a trip by any means…again, only calling them out because this is a luxury type home and we expected these little details to be better. Thanks!

Nice Home!
It was chilly while we visited but we made the best of it. The TV's did not work well at all, I'm sure because the internet was not good either. Not the property owners fault but shouldn't advertising TV's and internet as it was not working at all. Overall everything seemed good.

Awesome Place with Great space
THis was a great property to host 9 guys on weekend snowmobiling trip. The property was clean and really had a lot of space. The basement is where we spent most of our time at the house, either playing pool, hanging around drinking at the bar, or sitting and playing some games. Hopefully we can rent again next year.
