Lake house retreat

The house and property at Bear Trap were wonderful for our family getaway ! No AC was uncomfortable at times, but plenty of fans to keep the air flow upstairs - screens on sliding doors need repaired so they can be left open. LOTS of large carpenter ants in every room, we had to buy raid to keep them at bay, I had to wear socks/shoes constantly to avoid stepping on ants. The dock is perfect for fishing and star gazing and we made many camp fires at night. We enjoyed home cooked meals and the deep creek lake area is a favorite of ours to explore. Overall a nice time was had by all at Bear Trap.

Good location.

Quiet location, nice yard, good view of the lake. No AC was an issue on 80+ days. House was still being cleaned at 4pm check in and we had to wait which is unacceptable. The house and hot tub were still dirty.

Very relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed this property. it was as described, but we were surprised when we realized this home does not have A/C. The only other thing I would suggest is a new mattress in the primary suite. We enjoyed the dock, campfire and cornhole, but the yard was in desperate need of mowing.

It’s a shame

Location is great! Taylor Made is a disaster! Will never rent through them again. Initially received several different scenarios for how payments were to be made....couldn’t get straight answer so used the last one received. Received check in instructions with no entry code. Emailed for entry code and received response “we have sent you your check in instructions (I’m not making that up!) called Saturday and got a new code...it was the wrong code! Called for a new code while waiting at the door to get in. Got one after a few tries. Had problem with lights...called Saturday and then again Sunday and told someone would be there within the hour....hadn’t seen anyone when we left the following Saturday. Told towels were supplied so didn’t bring any...received one towel per person (again I’m not making this up!) House is okay ....nothing special for the cost. Little things like no towel racks in bathrooms, no covered or screened porch....dock extremely difficult to get onto....step sooooo high, impossible for some to get onto. House had three bedrooms and seating in family room was one chair and a sofa. Kitchen was okay, adequately equipped. Mattress in master bedroom felt like a bunch of pillows stuffed in a sheet, terrible.

Wonderful family getaway on the lake

We spent a wonderful week at the lakeshore with our 2 kiddos under 3. Kitchen was well equipped, house very clean and just as shown in listing, property manager recommended a grocery delivery service that worked well. Only comment is that listing mentions 2 bedrooms, which is technically true if a bedroom is a room with a built-in closet. It’s actually 3 bedrooms: 2 queen with built-in closets and 1 room with bunk bed and armoire.

Great stay!

We loved our time at Bear Trap. The house was clean, located in a private, quiet location and the week went very smoothly. We enjoyed swimming and fishing off the dock, nights by the fire and dips in the hot tub. Not having A/C was only an issue the last day when the air was not moving. (We stayed middle of July) fans were provided but the temp Inside was warmer than outside. We also ran out of propane and had to wait till the next day for a refill. An extra tank would have been great. Dining room chairs showed many repairs and should be replaced. I would stay again in a heart beat!

Nice place with a few quirks

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a very nice week overall. One cleanliness issue and a few quirks though. Coffee maker had very old grounds in it and was caked with mold. Fortunately, Taylor-Made had a spare. Quirks? Nowhere to hang a towel in the upstairs bath. Many champagne flutes but no bowls for salad/cereal/soup etc. Temperature difference between 1st & 2nd floors quite substantial at times (no AC). Occasional random behavior of ceiling lights on 1st floor. Etc.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Bear Trap so much!! The bedrooms got a little warm upstairs, but the fans kept it tolerable. We LOVED the lake access and fire pit under the canopy of trees. I would definitely recommend this rental to another family!
