Loved the lake view
We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay. This is a vrbo done right! Awesome property. House was very clean, comfortable beds, and had everything one would need while on the lake. Enjoyed the kayaks! Very happy you allowed pets-our pup enjoyed the large fenced yard. Only negative was mosquitos prevented night gathering on porch. Only ammenity needed was luggage rack; but we handled it OK. We will definitely consider coming back.

4th of July Weekend
Stayed over the long 4th of July weekend and loved this lake house! The location is conveniently located near the grocery store and other amenities but still provides a feel of seclusion. The house is in a quiet bay with a big fenced backyard which was great for the dog and activities. We highly recommend for family getaways - host was very accommodating and the house was kid friendly.

Absolutely stunning views of the lake, with a wonderful home full of cozy comfortable furnishings to enjoy. We couldn't have picked a better place to ring in the New Year.

This property is a lot of fun for all, something for everyone. The house was very clean. The host manager was always available to answer questions and could not be more accommodating to our needs. The property is conveniently located to highways for easy access, but far enough away from the traffic noise.

Best for summer/spring stay
I've used VRBO for years & don't remember writing a negative review. Positives: Host is responsive & in fairness, I didn't contact her about any issues. Neighborhood quiet Beds comfortable Furniture comfortable View great Everything was in working order Negatives: Big draw for the property is the outdoor area. The back porch was deep in leaves, that we had to sweep off to ensure was safe from snakes, spiders, scorpions, etc... We also had to wipe down all the outdoor furniture. It is Fall, but the dirt & leaves seemed to be definite build up. Hosts need to definitely improve outdoor maintenance. Also, yard was ankle deep in leaves. We walked to the dock to see ducks. The dock is not in very good shape & you couldn't go very far out on it, because a section was covered in some sort of bird excrement. Not just a spot or two you could step over, not the excrement that herons leave, where it is like white paint when it dries. But piles, like a flock of ducks had taken up residence. There was a big snake in the tree beside the dock, so that made us further weary about spending any time in the backyard covered in leaves. It would have been nice to at least have a semi clear path through the leaves. Stepping stones would help We couldn't enjoy sitting outside, because many people in the neighborhood were burning leaves & it was smoky out. There was a sweet cat that kept charging the door. Successfully got in once. Luckily, easily removed. I don't believe the floors had been mopped. When we were wiping up food from toddlers eating, we noticed we were also getting a lot of other dirt. This was also true in other floors of the house. There was a note saying to be sure and completely clean the high chair, as it was not the housekeeper's job to do so, nor was it the next renters' responsibility. The bedroom facing the street had blinds, but no curtains. A street light made it seem like it was morning all the time, so we slept very poorly. (There were holes in the wall where curtains had previously been.) Bring all your own condiments including salt, pepper & sugar. Overall it is a nice property, but owners need to either have the outside areas usable, or let you know to expect to clean yourself. Also get curtains up in the bedroom & find a better housekeeper who will clean floors & highchairs. I understand snakes, smoke & stray cats are not controllable, but the cleanliness & curtains are.
