Great location and accommodations

Our family enjoyed our stay. The house could use some minor outdoor cleaning, but I am sure that is mostly due to being a water front property.

Healing Staycation

We as a family have experienced a lot of loss recently and needed a vacation. It was hard to schedule a short notice long stay further away due to school and work. So this stay was perfect with not going to far away but being close enough and being on the water.

Amazing lake experience!

We had a wonderful experience at Jakes lake house for our guys trip. It’s in a great location close to main lake but in a quiet cove. Very well appointed house and game room was really fun with ping pong, pool and a great classic video game to relive all our favorites from the old school games. Thanks for a special experience!

Great Amenities for kids

The adults and kids loved the many amenities at this house. The two kayaks and two paddle boards were used daily. The tween boys had fun catching fist from the dock. The pool table, darts, corn hole, ping pong and other games kept us occupied indoors on two very hot days. A couple of small issues were handled quickly by the management team.

Annual family gathering

Property was clean and had plenty of room and multiple gathering areas both inside and outside. We were able to bring a pontoon boat to the property and park in the dock. The property had the use of both kayaks and paddle boards. Enjoyed the pool table, cornhole and giant jenga. I do have to say that it is a pretty steep walk down to the water. All in all a very nice property and we had a great stay.

Great escape

This large spacious house is tucked away on a quiet cove. The set up has everything you need! It is a fully stocked kitchen and water items for the lake too. We really enjoyed our time there. Surprised to find a mouse scurrying on the bottom floor and mold in the master bath where tiled work in the shower need to be addressed.

Really enjoyed Jake's Lake House

We had a great experience at Jake's Lake House. Overall, everything was as listed/specified. There are a few minor things they may want to fix or upgrade, such as the grill which didn't get above 250 degrees or the dishwasher that doesn't really wash the dishes. Plus a few other items. However, the sunset at the gazebo, lake access and overall beauty of the house well made up for it.

Family gathering for non-high school official graduation party

We Had a fabulous time at Jakes Lake House celebrating our Granddaughters graduation family time together. The house was so large and spacious for our entire family. The game room was the biggest hit for our adult grandkids. There was so much room for all and a perfect home for a large gathering. We loved our stay at Jakes Lake house and we will be back. Thank you so much, Morgan, for always being available for my many questions and concerns. You were great and so appreciated when you are at a new place. This was a awesome home!!!!

Great communication + wonderful house

We had a great stay! Communication was AMAZING beforehand and we were able to plan for our trip better knowing what was already at the house. The bed sheets smelled super clean, which is always something I’m nervous about - but these were great! We had kids with us (including a newborn) and liked how much space there was to spread out. The back porch was nice with a fire pit and various outdoor games. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely, Needs Maintenance

Beautiful home in good location on the lake. Plenty of ammenities. So much potential. BUT, this home needs maintenance. AVOID properties managed by Lakecations. Problem solving was severely lacking. I kept getting cheerful messages that "all is fixed", when in fact nothing had been fixed. Broken air conditioning was a huge deal to us. It took Saturday until Wednesday to get it fixed. Property Manager did not keep up to know that it was still broken - OR - they just don't want to spend the money to fix it. (All it needed was refrigeration, but approval took too long and Property Manager developed an attitude that was not customer service oriented in the least.) Also note that two "bedrooms" are technically not bedrooms in that there is no closet and little privacy through glass doors with blinds.

So many things to do

We really enjoyed our stay at Jakes Lake House but felt like for the money we paid the grounds could have been better maintained. It looked like there needs to be pine needles out so the outside looked unkept. There were so many fun things offered at the house and we enjoyed many of them. I got a little upset as the owners of the property next to the house came in through the driveway and parked 2 cars and 2 golf carts on the grass where it was clearly stated no parking. We felt intruded upon as they walked done the drive to the water. They said they owned all the property that side of the driveway and therefore had the right to park there. Not good for me as I wanted the privacy I first felt the property offered.
