Peace & Quiet

The view from the kitchen window is just gorgeous! We weren’t able to take advantage of the dock & the pond because we were attending a college reunion. I definitely recommend this beautifully decorated trailer. It was so roomy! The king size bed was very comfortable. I liked that there was a Queen size bed at opposite end with it’s own private bathroom should we ever return with friends.

Rest and Relaxation

My family and I spent a few days at the rental. David went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great! We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and using the fire pit! The home was lovely with all the amenities that you need for a perfect stay. The beds a comfortable and the home was close to many trails. I highly recommend this property!

A truly magical spot

I loved the area. The house and furnishings were excellent. I slept comfortably on all the beds (including the sleeper sofa) . The location on the lake is perfect and the kayaks were so fun. The addition of fire wood was an amazing amenity not furnished by other places. Thank you so much. Has a blast.

Not great neighborhood/lake is about gone.

We did not end up staying at this property, so I can't review certain amenities. We booked this property in March where it was advertised as lake front & secluded with a beautifully thick lawn, flowers and a beach - these things did not exist. The lake was so receded that I wasn't sure access was still on their property and calling it a pond would be a stretch. The hosts had messaged that the water was receding and "may" impact use. Current state was not disclosed. We arrived with 2 trucks & 2 boats under the assumption it was a nice long driveway (the driveway picture is actually part of the road which dead ends into their driveway) & we could back in. We should have confirmed boat access (usually do), but made assumptions based on their pictures. We had back up storage for 1 boat and our fishing partners could take the other (problem solved). Main reason & final straw - the nearby trailers/properties were very rundown & not well cared for (junk & dilapidated buildings). We did not feel this was the best neighborhood for storing all of the gear & valuables we were traveling cross country with. VRBO said at least 1 other renter relocated because of location. Also, we could easily hear neighbors 2 houses down - not secluded. Host took zero accountability for location & current state of the property. They kept our fee for the entire week, including the pet fee, cleaning fee and the premium we paid for a lake property, even after apparently re-booking for part of the stay.
