Great home for families

We were in town for a hockey tournament and this home was a great location. The house is well equipped with kitchen items as well as everything else for our group. We had a great time between games relaxing and hanging out with each other. Would definitely book again.

Great place!

Our family had a wonderful time with our week-long stay. Accommodations were perfect. Fun time on pontoon boat all week, too. We fixed the pontoon door, bought a new anchor and rope and cleared out the dryer vent in the garage. Great air conditioned home with beautiful features. All beds very comfy. Beautiful kitchen, woods view, and a great den-like office space upstairs. Our adult kids all found their place in the large home; nice bathrooms as well. Handy, nice washer and dryer available. We did see a mouse in the basement by the sofa but not a big deal, since it was in the basement, just an FYI. Thanks for the great time!

Summer Cabin Vacation

The property was very spacious. Loved the location. There were issues with the dishwasher and washer leaking water. So did not use the dishwasher. It had been running before we arrived and the water was on the floor. Did let property manager know. One of the two air mattress’s did not hold air. Overall stay was fine. Really loved all the space.

Family get together

Very cool log home served us well. Everyone enjoyed themselves!! Boating, kayaking and fishing on the chain was so much fun! The only drawback for us was that it was fairly close to the highway so there was some traffic noise, mostly during the day!!

Review

The house has a good layout and served our purpose as a meeting place for our traveling and local family. I believe that the "sleeps 14" claim oversells the features. Offering the 4th bedroom in an unfinished basement (no bathroom either), with unfinished stairs to the basement is misleading potential customers. The following items affected the quality of our visit: Glass face of the wash machine was broken before our visit and should have been noted-so we would not be charged. Coffee pot did not work. Appears to be clogged-ran several water pots through but still slow. Purchased new pot. Dishwasher gave problems--odd display but still worked. Ice maker did not make ice. Had to purchase ice. In attempt to fix ice maker, adjusted the freezer control to normal (from high). Melted all the frozen food in the freezer. Bath towels were OK, only limited number of hand towels and they were marginal. Wash cloths were rags. Large number of TV controls had dead batteries -- or none at all. The check-in process was difficult and frustrating. Originally we were told we would receive info about two weeks before arrival date. We received nothing. Then the website said info available three days before arrival. Still nothing, so that morning I called and the owner said he would send it out with the hour. Unfortunately, he did not tell me he was texting the information. We had never used that method of communication before. After more phone calls, we received the info. All out of spa

The hills are alive with the sound of children

The property was great, the basement was in the process of being finished and when done will be amazing, going down to the campfire area was a little rough due to the steep terrain and walking infants down to the lake was a little hard due to the topography of the land, ( paved road ) just got a good workout from it! Had a blast going through the wooded area and had plentiful amount of dead wood to burn

Far from luxurious.

Certainly enjoyed the open concept but floors were filthy. Everyone’s feet were black from the floors. Garbage and recycling left from previous renters. Master bath sink plugged with standing water when we arrived, needed to use tub faucet which we needed to fix the handle first. Fire pit on deck was full of ashes. Don’t think insurance company would approve its location. Couldn’t use the fire pit down the hill since weeds and brush overgrown. Far from a gourmet kitchen - pots and pans dirty and had nothing to scrub them either. No baking dishes. Crock pot filthy. Minimal silverware. Toaster doesn’t work. No waffle maker or flat top for pancakes. No dishwasher soap to use. No paper toweling. No tissues either. Dryer also not working, no heat. Only room for one vehicle in garage, rest of garage used as storage. Old grill along side garage. All in all, this log home has such potential if it had necessary basic upkeep. Basement unfinished and lower deck is a disaster. Biggest disappointment was when we returned back to the house on the second day and the garage door was wide open. Called Willie, the manager who said he was at the house to pick up totes out of garage. Certainly was disrespectful since he came without any notice. We had our dogs along, they were on high alert the rest of the stay. Pontoon ran well but also in need of repair. Canopy is torn, boat lights do not work, and the front gate has been removed and replaced with a plastic chain.

Roomy cabin

This cabin is beautiful and very roomy. My siblings and I enjoyed our stay here. We took out the pontoon and parked by a sand bar and swam. Water was perfect. All in all we had a good time.
