What a pleasure this was!

Paul and his sister have a wonderful place and a genuinely easy process. Check in is a breeze and checkout is effortless. The back deck with a tent and bug screen is so nice late in the evening. We didn’t use the hot tub or the fire pit but I’m sure they would have been great. All of the beds were extremely comfortable and communication with Paul was a pleasure. I just can’t recommend this property or host high enough! You won’t be disappointed.

So-so place to stay near water

We weren't looking for perfect or spotless, especially with pets. However, we did spend the first hour cleaning the place before unpacking. Other guests clothes were left behind such as dirty socks under beds and in closets, and old food and unmentionables found in the pull out sofa. The cobwebs were unreal and covered everything. The firepit and supplied wood were great! No instructions were left for operating the hot tub, but was able to manage figuring it out. The lock does not work on the boat house and was left open when we arrived. The screened porch would have been a bonus if it wasn't ripped. The family members that share the adjacent property have dogs as well (not friendly) and our dog was chased around the property and escaped with only a bloody broken nail. I believe this could be an amazing VRBO with some better upkeep.

Comfortable, clean stay

House was very comfortable for the six of us. Everything was neat and clean. Beds were super comfortable! Had all the utensils and appliances we needed. Games available to play with the kids. Clean, warm hot tub. Lots of nice shade on the back deck with an enclosed pergola. Enjoyed a campfire and s’mores just about every night thanks to the hosts providing us the makings. Also was just a few miles down the road from Carlos Creek winery. Overall a great experience. The hosts have really put some thought into making this house a great VRBO.

Great Place For the Price and Location

We stayed for six nights with four adults and four small children. We didn't experience any issues with the home. The air worked great, it was an easy check in/check out process, we were close to town, and for the price it was a great place to stay. The hot tub was up and running, there was a cute fire pit/seating area and lots of lake toys for the kids. For our family with small children we didn't care for the property being across the street from the lake, but we knew this going into it. There was quite a bit of traffic but overall it's a very quiet location. The area off the dock wasn't the best for playing, but there is a nice little beach area available by boat which worked great for us. Be sure to bring soap, dishwasher tabs and laundry detergent for your stay as there were next to no cleaning supplies at the home. Not a complaint, just a tip for others so they're prepared! Overall, for the price it was a great place for a week at the lake! The owners surprised our kiddos with fixings for smores and a bottle of local wine for the adults. So thoughtful and appreciated!

Great for young kids!

We had a great time at this home. Highlights for us included the screened in patio space, kids toys/games/activities, water inflatables (used a tube for tubing on our boat) and hot tub in the backyard. Having a pack n play and high hair available made our stay a bit easier. The home also had pretty much everything we needed, like pots/pans/utensils, extra beach towels, etc. it was also great to be able to do laundry while we enjoyed our week long stay! Our family has a great time here, and hope to be back!

Our Experience

Had a wonderful time at the lake, however; the house was dated but was okay. Dead frog in the hot tub...may not have been preventable. House cleanliness was fine. The boat house was full of cobwebs and in need of a good cleaning. Pictures on VRBO were much better than the actual property

About the host

Hosted by paul

This cabin has been in my family since my grandfather and uncle purchased it 56 years ago. It has been owned for the last 40+ years by my father who passed a few years ago. In the past 15 years we have upgraded the place to a modern home with all the amenities. When my father passed my family had purchased the cabin. I have 5 kids between the age of 12-24 years old. 3 girls and 2 boys. I hope to create lots of memories for the future and someday pass the property on to my kids.

Why they chose this property

The reason that my family purchased land in this area was my uncle was a caretaker at the Lutheran bible camp up the road. Mount Carmel

What makes this property unique

The lake is large, weed free, and great for swimming.
