Great location on the point

Buff's stay

The house was very clean, and it was nice that the AC air was turned on for us when we arrived being its so hot outside, the only thing I would recommend is putting a matt in the bath tub downstairs it gets very slippery taking a shower, we would definitely rent this house again, it was great having a personal boat launch as well, and the screened in porch was nice to sit and have coffee in the mornings :) and the view is awesome!Our family had a lot of fun!

The worst VRBO ever. We walked in, stayed 5 minutes and left the place. Not going to stay there

The land is beautiful. The exterior of the house is old, tired and green slimed. The front porch furniture is broken and you can't sit. You walk in and the musty smell hits. Inside is very dark unlike pictures. So of course you to blinds to open to give you light and the blind falls on your head. The pictures show brown leather couches. What is there is some sofas covered under chocolate colored blankets. I dared not look underneath. The pictures show the back of a red leather chair. that was the final straw. When you walked to front of chair, someone had sat in it so long, there was a huge black head stain - disgusting and several other body stains on the chair. At that point, we turned around and walked out of this house. All den furniture as shown in pictures is totally misleading and what is there is beyond gross. You couldn't pay me to sit on any of it. AN EXTREMELY ANGRY FAMILY who let immediately and no one has offered to refund us a dime. Don't get us wrong - this could be a beautiful place but the furniture is simply disgusting. The Drews.

Wonderful view from a flat lot

After seeing all the steps between houses and the lake, we appreciated the soft slope of this yard so much more! The view is lovely, it’s just down from the bridge and marina to be convenient, but far enough away to not be bothered by any traffic. The National Forest is directly across from this home, so beautiful, undeveloped areas to enjoy. The house was clean, and had most anything you need - a little shy on pots and mixing bowls but the knives were sharp! We would definitely stay here again

Beautiful place with great location, but needs some attention

We loved the location of the property and the overall arrangement and layout. However, it was not as clean as we would have like (mold on both shower curtains, items left under beds and in drawers by previous renters). Also, the coffee maker did not work, and I had to call twice to get told to go purchase one, and I would get reimbursed. One ceiling fan on the porch did not work. I reported this but never heard back from the property manager. Finally, we were told there was power at the end of the walkway to the dock. That power cable had been severed. In spite of these problems, the porch is fabulous, and we enjoyed beautiful sunsets while swimming from the dock. The house is spacious and worked well for our family of five adults. We would rent again if we knew these problems had been fixed.

Great house on the water.

We had a great time although short at the house. Our son got married at Hidden Cover so it worked out well. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an awesome house on the water. Thanks again!! David & Linda Wheeler
