Not great neighborhood/lake is about gone.
We did not end up staying at this property, so I can't review certain amenities. We booked this property in March where it was advertised as lake front & secluded with a beautifully thick lawn, flowers and a beach - these things did not exist. The lake was so receded that I wasn't sure access was still on their property and calling it a pond would be a stretch. The hosts had messaged that the water was receding and "may" impact use. Current state was not disclosed. We arrived with 2 trucks & 2 boats under the assumption it was a nice long driveway (the driveway picture is actually part of the road which dead ends into their driveway) & we could back in. We should have confirmed boat access (usually do), but made assumptions based on their pictures. We had back up storage for 1 boat and our fishing partners could take the other (problem solved). Main reason & final straw - the nearby trailers/properties were very rundown & not well cared for (junk & dilapidated buildings). We did not feel this was the best neighborhood for storing all of the gear & valuables we were traveling cross country with. VRBO said at least 1 other renter relocated because of location. Also, we could easily hear neighbors 2 houses down - not secluded. Host took zero accountability for location & current state of the property. They kept our fee for the entire week, including the pet fee, cleaning fee and the premium we paid for a lake property, even after apparently re-booking for part of the stay.
