Our weekend trip

We stayed at this location because it was reasonably priced and our goal for the weekend was a trip to Scranton. We were surprised with the property being outdated and not as clean as expected. The handsoap in the bathroom was 1/2 water and 1/2 soap while being 25% full.The fire pit in the backyard was not ready to use with the bricks being all over the place and leaves scattered everywhere.There were some blinds that were broken when we showed up that were off to the side.A lot of surfaces were stained and dusty.There was very little dishwasher liquid left to run the dishwasherWe were asked to take the garbage to an offsite location and there was only 2 garbage bags left for us to use.We weren’t expecting anything luxurious, but was hoping the place would have been better prepared for our weekend get away.

A CUTE DISAPPOINTMENT

Where to start, First off and we knew it going in but the added fees we had to pay were a joke too me. The house itself was a huge disappointment, The furniture was worn out, couch was ok kitchen table was stained coffee table was almost on 3 legs bar stools should have had a sign that said use at own risk. The place had plenty of pots and pansTHE BEDSBeds are in serious need of new mattresses the linens were however soft and comfortable.

Good location and nice stay as advertised

Overall good experience. I would stay again and I would recommend it for the price range. We went to Jack Frost skiing and tubing for the weekend. As advertised, there are decent fees associated with cars and per person. So just keep that in mind when booking.

Beautiful Lake Area + Vintage Lake House!

The hosts were really great! 11/10 Very communicative and responsive to any questions you have, and work to resolve any issues that come up! The Location: Pros -The area + lake is really peaceful and beautiful -The community is well-secured and good safety in place -Nearby stores, gas stations, and good hikes! Cons -The community is very strict on rules. I was surprised by the number of restrictions + policies for the community area. It put a little bit of a damper on the time with my team. Check-in -The Hosts were communicative and worked to be detailed about it! -The process to check-in was a little confusing even with the directions communicated and took some time to check-in. Cost -The additional costs for using the amenities + registering the cars were more than I was expecting. The hosts do mention the additional costs and give what factors into it, and it was still more than what I was calculating as the factors were a little confusing. -It would be nice to have an option not to have to use the amenities in the community as my group wasn't planning on using them / to save on the cost. Property itself -Rustic charm to it! -Needed to be a tad bit cleaner -One of the beds was broken and slanted at the bottom of it -The cleaning fee is a lot for a two-night stay Overall - 8/10 -Great hosts!!!! -Strict HOA + not super "renter" friendly -Location is great!!! -Cabin could be a tad renovated + updated for more comfortable experience. -More expensive than was hoping

Very family friendly

This place was awesome. Michael and Ashleigh were great hosts. The community was very family friendly - kids loved the playgrounds (yes there were several around the community), and it was too cold for swimming, but the beach was still nice to fish from, and sports courts were great!. The house itself was clean and well-kept. We would definitely stay again.

Nice Chalet Style Lodge

I was worried by a previous review I read, but honestly we had a great time. The house is in a gated community, and it has a little bit of a lake view. Nice wood two story living room and comfy beds all around. It was clean, and everything worked fine. The hosts were responsive when we had an issue - we couldn't figure out where to take the garbage, and they responded quickly and told us where to go. We would definitely stay again. Community gate fees are not bad in the off-season it seems, and the lodge and island were great to explore. We will be back.

Not clean, inaccurate pictures

This place was a total nightmare. The room was absolutely filthy—dust in the corners, and it felt like it hadn't been cleaned in ages. The towels were old, thin, and ripped, and to make matters worse, the bedding had noticeable stains. The mattresses were lumpy and uncomfortable, making it impossible to get a decent night's sleep. The bathrooms need a remodel. Even the outside lighting was terrible, making it feel unsafe at night. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone—it's clear they don't care about basic cleanliness or comfort. Stay away!

Extended Family Reunion

Overall, the house was exactly what we needed for our extended family reunion. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate for our use of the community amenities but we made the most of our stay. The owners were extremely responsive to our questions. One note should be added to the description of the description though -- there's no guarantee of propane in the barbeque so you may have to find a vendor to have that filled upon arrival.

1st time at Arrowhead Lake

It was very relaxing, a lot of wildlife! The lake beaches are nice, the house is centrally located. The pools are very nice with lifeguards on duty. The only thing we wish we knew prior was that you are not allowed to wear goggles that cover your nose in the pool. We were not able to find nose clips so our little one was not able to swim.

Wonderful vacation, charming chalet

The home was just right to accommodate myself and hubby and our 4 children ages 10-19 and our 2 dogs. The fully fenced front porch was a plus with the dogs. You can’t take your dogs to any of the beaches or public areas but we did find a nice hiking spot (local advice) through connecting state game lands and the dogs swam in Brady Lake. We used the game room as extra sleeping area for our 10 year old and brought a blow up so it worked out well for everyone to have their own space. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need (pots pans dishes and utensils, crockpots, coffeemakers, etc). It was nice not to have to bring bathing towels and sheets. Slept amazingly in the master bedroom! We used our streaming services to watch movies together in the living room to wind down at night (after s’mores by the fire). Bring your own beach towels and beach chairs (we forgot our beach chairs which is handy for lounging by beaches and pools). We took advantage of all of the community amenities and were given a bracelet upon check-in (which you do pay for these amenities, but that is mentioned prior to booking so it was not a surprise). Two of the beaches are within walking distance and the island pool area is a quick walk. We had no issues or need to contact owners but they were kind enough to check in with us during our stay. There are kayaks and paddle boards for rent ($20 for 2 hours) and small row boats. The neighborhood is family-friendly. Would gladly return!

Relaxing getaway

Warm, cozy cabin with beautiful views of the lake and forests. My girlfriend and I stayed here for four nights and it was the perfect chance to relax and unwind. Plenty to do in the community itself, and in the nearby area as well, but my girlfriend said her favorite moment was when this family of deer came by to graze along the front yard while we sat on the deck and watched. Thanks again to Ashleigh and Michael for providing such a comfortable place for us to stay.

Family Fun

I loved the house, very homely, the owners had a christmas tree and trinkets to make it feel like Christmas. The owners responded to our questions promptly, and appeared very nice. On the downside, the house was not cleaned very well, it was dusty, the tub and toilet looked it hadn't been cleaned for some time, and the water was yellow not clear. My family and I enjoyed our stay and I don't know if the owners use a cleaning company or clean themselves because the house wasn't cleaned properly.
