Great views.
This lodging had a very impressive view. It was clean but could use some organization in the kitchen and some improvements to the approach driveway. Rocks and big holes make it difficult to back a large boat trailer up to the house.

Driveway woes
The view and location was awesome. Couldn’t have asked for more. The house does need some tlc but was comfortable and the family of marmots that live in the rock pile below the house were fun to adorable and fun to watch. I debated between 3/4 stars mainly because of the driveway for two reasons. When it rained the driveway became a slippery gooey mess and is somewhat narrow and rough. We hauled a boat and getting it into the parking area was tricky. The mud from the rain was horrendous and getting from the driveway to the house was ridiculous. No place to put your shoes outside while it’s raining so the the entry door area got mucky. No mop so I had to get on my hands and knees to clean it before we left. That part wasn’t pleasant. Smoothing out the driveway and rocking it would be ideal along with an overhang over the door to be able to leave your shoes outside. We did enjoy our stay and would rent the place again if the driveway issue was addressed.

Not happy
The rocking chair was broken, wicker chair was broken, one of the electric heaters was broken, and it was quite cold the weekend we were there. Not much heat coming out of the heat vents. No knobs on the kitchen cupboards and underneath of cupboards was very sticky. Dead spiders in the master bedroom drawers, did not feel that the home was cleaned very well. We tried to contact the company and was on hold for over an hour before we gave up. I would not stay there again. The picture is deceiving, it looks like the property is a short walk to the lake, when in fact you have to cross the highway, and then there is a fence around the lake and it is not accessible due to being private property. Not happy at all!!

Needs updating
There was not enough room for everyone to sit comfortably for sox adults, only one chair and a small couch that was a pullout that we had to make and was not clean, we had to vacuum off the hair. The rocking chair was broke and in a closet in the second bedroom. Dresser drawers in the master are broken. Should have an icemaker, not trays. Lights were out, no outside lights at all, they need to be priority. Very dark inside, not enough lighting need more lamps. Mattress was not comfortable, very old and matress had urine stains. The master bed also needs a new bedframe, held up by a wood box. My husband worked in hospitality and is very thorough at inspections. Downstairs smells like mold and the dryer vents into the room. Showerhead needs to be replaced, it sprays on the wall. The toilet runs in the master bathroom, had to shut the door at night so we couldn't hear it to go to sleep. Overall it was just not clean, we did cleaning for ourselves. The positive is the view is awesome! (could really use a larger deck to enjoy it though) and made up for most of it. We saw lots of deer while we were here, enjoyed that. I do hate to make this all negative, but the house really needs some TLC.

Great location, dirty and dated house.
This house has a great location with amazing views and a nice floorplan. Should have read the reviews because the house is not clean. It had dog hair everywhere and the bathrooms floors and around the toilet were just gross. Very dated in the bathrooms. and living room furniture. Thank goodness for Sue and Vacasa who brought us clean bedding. We have a small ShihTzu who doesn't shed so maybe to those with shedding dogs it won't bother them.

Overall a great visit.
The home was clean and there are plenty of towels, sheets, dishes and pillows. Everything worked and not having AC wasn’t an issue since it was cooler when we were there. My only complaint is the driveway is pretty rough- it’s dirt and it gets very muddy. But it’s not enough to not wanna go back. We loved it!

Decent spot, could be improved
It was a nice place and well stocked. The driveway needs to be paved or have gravel put in, with the rain, the mud was a nightmare. I respect that you allow pets but the pet hair was a bit of a problem. Beach access is misleading, beach view was more appropriate, there wasn't beach access near this cabin that we could find that wasn't fenced and private property. Also, just a note, the thermostats in the living room and master bedroom function upside down from where they are, if we hadn't figured that out, we would have been freezing!

Great, but a little too hot
Very nice interior, everything was very clean and set up nicely for us. Great location as well. Wonderful view of the lake. Only complaint was that it was pretty hot and stuffy during the day, but plenty of fans were provided.

This property needs a lot of TLC
Bugs, bugs and more bugs. Scary from the outside…didn’t even dare turn off the truck. The inside was tolerable because it was clean, but this property needs TLC everywhere you look. Too many things to mention. Not boat friendly. Slow internet, no A/C, no ice maker, not stocked with anything…not even a bottle of salt. Shower was super slippery with no hand bar in case you fell. Looks like someone already went through the shower (big crack). Fell on the rocks on the walkway exiting one time. Fan in ceiling “clicked” all night long, something scratching in the wall all night long. But! The bed was pretty comfortable! Sorry, but I won’t stay here again until they make many, many major improvements.

Hot no AC. Lots of bugs/knots. Holes in screens.
Location was good. Ice maker in fridge broken. No AC. Probably said in info, but missed that big detail. One shower in bedroom. 2nd shower rather than bedroom would have been nice. Pet friendly was good. I should have studied the fine print.
