Family, Friendly, Family Ready
Our experiences was very good. It was our first getaway with all of our families together and everyone was very happy. The house was beautifully set up and accommodated the whole family including a high chair and playpen/bed for babies. There were only a couple of comlaints. The dishwasher was hard to figure out,The screen doors did not work the best, .and not enough garbage bags. All in all it was a great stay! Fantastic location!

Family and golf getaway
The property was very nice as advertised. My wives sisters and their husbands do an annual golfing getaway and Eagle River area was our choice this year. Loved the house which served our group well. Enjoyed a fire pit night and several games of billiards. Would highly recommend this home.

Great space and location but the rest is meh
I’ve stayed in houses with hosts that communicate much better. This home is run by a service. I asked days before departing whether there were towels and a hair dryer so I knew what to pack. It wasn’t listed in the app. No response. Fortunately they had both in the house but please just answer people so they know what to bring. Also service/cleaning fee for 3 days was $600. They only clean once (which is fine if you do it right but my cleaning service only charges $200 to clean a bigger house and they do an awesome job). We got there and there was hair and dust all over the wood floors. That had not been cleaned properly. I have a photo from the time of arrival in case the property owner is interested in seeing how their cleaning service performs. It’s a big house so I get that it won’t be perfect, but hair and dust means you didn’t bother to vacuum or mop the kitchen. You can’t ask people to start the dishwasher and pull off sheets ‘to help your staff’ if you’re charging that much and don’t start with a really clean house upon arrival. In the kitchen: pans, utensils and plates are in good shape and there’s plenty, however no oil, napkins or seasonings like all other homes I’ve stayed in. There was one very small roll of paper towels. No one wants to buy and carry that stuff back. So we ate out almost the entire time with the exception of breakfast. They do offer kayaks in the shed but they were covered with dirt and spider/webs and since I didn’t feel like cleaning on vacation, we passed on that. As far as activities, there was a pool table which was nice but no games, card decks or puzzles for rainy days like I’ve seen at other VRBO properties. For $1000+/night for 5 people, guess I expected more. The one saving grace for them was that the day we arrived someone with a new cell number started communicating with us and he was more responsive by text but y’all should have started with that!

House review
The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We had a wonderful time. The only real issues were the lack of cleats on the pier to tie up the boat, made it a lot more work to secure the boat. Also the sliding glass doors to deck were very difficult to move and the kitchen faucet was a huge pain; hard to get the water hot and then hard to get it completely off. That being said, it is a great place and the fishing off the pier was terrific.

We loved our stay at Napping Bear Lodge. There was plenty of space for our group of 12; both indoors and out. Customer service staff was very helpful when we had a plumbing issue, sending an individual to fix the issue very promptly.

Great for Big Families- Very Spacious
We had 4 families stay in the house with 2 dogs. Families consisted of grandparents and siblings with kids. They did have a pack n play and high chair for kids. The description was very accurate of what to expect. It was very clean, very spacious, and great view. Also, we found out the last day the canoe in the great room lights up- be sure to check that out! It is also nearby Eagle Lake which is a nice big lake. Some things to note if you are bringing dogs they do need to be leashed at all times. There is not really a swimming entry by the lake- you still could swim just steep bank to get down and rocky in the lake. Last, the driveway is just as it shows in the picture it is not longer so if you are bringing any trailer just be aware of that. We were able to fit a boat trailer and truck length wise, but that put the front of the truck almost to the road.

Family trip Up North
Overall we enjoyed the house. There was plenty of room and the location was good. We were on a busy part of the lake, so depending on what you’re looking for, this could be good or bothersome. We did have a few issues: -no boat lift even though we called Vacasa and they verbally confirmed there was a boat lift for guest use -dirty cooking utensils (this was not a matter of sanitation, there was old, dried food stuck to the utensils but there’s a disclaimer over the kitchen sink that dishes are not “sanitized” -the towel rack in master king bedroom was falling off, not huge issue but could easily break -the lights for the master bedroom king bed do not work -the nightlight lightbulb was out on the first floor bathroom -the kitchen oven overhead lights were out and the kitchen was very dark, the space was still nice to gather, but for the quality and price of this luxury house, we expected these minor amenities to be available. We communicated all this through VRBO app and via email and no responses, so that was a little disappointing. I did see later that there was a name and number listed in pamphlet, not sure why we wouldn’t get a response through VRBO? Despite that stuff, we enjoyed ourselves. Not things that would ruin a trip by any means…again, only calling them out because this is a luxury type home and we expected these little details to be better. Thanks!
