The house was clean and looked like the pictures. There were 3 of us and we didn’t spend much time inside the house, but we all slept comfortably. It took us a little bit to get used to the kitchen being downstairs

Great house, great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was awesome, spacious and fit all of us very well. We also loved the kayaks that came with the house. Will definitely come back again. A few minor comments for things that could be improved: two of the beds could be replaced, the bathroom needs a lock, would be nice to have shampoo and soap.

Not typically a review leaver unless theres reason. And i think this house calls for it. Firts the pros- location, price, super friendly property manager, gentle slope from the driveway to the dock, the house was relatively clean.Now the cons- first and foremost the DECK- DO NOT GO ON THE DECK! Ill try and include some pictures of the deck, there was a spot in the middle that sagged a good 5 inches than the rest if the deck. The boards are so splintered and coming up its just a death trap. I cant believe the owners leave it the way it is. Luckily because of the next con we never had a use for the deck any ways. The layout of the house is definitely different. Kitchen and master bedroom and a dinning room are on the basment level with a walkout. The stairs going down to the basement are very narrow and steep.There are no drapes in the place. So hopefully you like getting up with the sun rise. Even the bathroom upstairs lacked a proper drape for it being a bathroom with a clear shot out the window.The beds are absolutely terrible. And the beds are on rollers on a hard floor so it moves all around. There was 3 coffee makers. 2 had moldy brown water in the reservoir. Luckily the 3rd looked brand new. I assume abother person staying there brought it becsuse they wouldnt use those other nasty ones.The kitchen was minimally stocked. We had to get very creative to make a meal chickan kabobs. Overall we would not stay here again.

Eclipse viewing

The property manager & housekeeping staff were very good to work with. House was clean. The house had multiple safety issues. 2nd floor deck was rotted & unsafe. Lower bedroom light didn’t work- flickered like a strobe light. Lower floor bathroom had extremely unsafe high walled tub with nothing to hold onto while step in & no nonskid strips on bottom of tub. Hinge broken on kitchen cabinet.

Terrible

This property had terrible communication via arrival. Also the home was not cleaning at all. There was very dirty dishes, fility oven in unusable condition. The refrigerator freezer was very dirty, there was a drawer in the kitchen with rat or mice droppings. The towel and bed linen was also dirty. The upper out door patio had no lighting as describe.

Okay House

The deck was essentially unusable because of the unstable boards popping out. The beds are incredibly uncomfortable. Overall, it did not feel like it was recently cleaned.

This home has been newly renovated and was very clean. The lake is great and fishing was good. We were very surprised to find that the 2 bedrooms upstairs did not contain the queen beds as noted on VRBO. They were only full size. To verify I was not mistaken I even checked the size of the sheets, they were full size and fit perfectly. With the stairs being somewhat narrow, it might be noteworthy to add to the property description that the kitchen is downstairs. The area was very peaceful.

Get together with Buddies

Four of us got together to watch the National Championship. The location was central to all of us. The house was clean and comfortable. Not too far from a dollar store and then a short drive to Marion if you want restaurants and shopping. Too cold for the lake but nice view and would probably be a great summer stay.

Needs a lot of maintenance

The property was clean, and check in was really easy. Location is nice. But it is definitly in the poorest shape of any VRBO I've stayed in. Two of the bedroom doors don't shut. Dishwasher is not mounted and comes out when you try to open the door.The corner cabinet in the kitchen has a broken door and has for months according to reviews.The tub spigot downstairs isn't mounted in the wall and pulls out when you turn the shower on.The light switch in the downstairs bathroom failed when we were here. Not the light and not the breaker.The deck is sagging and boards are popping up. Nails are sticking up. Not safe to use.Chairs at the upstairs table are missing bottom rungs and are wobbly. Didn't feel safe using two of the four.One of the basement bedrooms lacks a suitable fire escape. Just a small window too high to escape from.The steps are way too steep to be anywhere near code.Overall the finish of the place is pretty rough. Nothing was something that I felt warranted a call over the holiday for immediate repair. Just not what I have come to expect from a VRBO.

Nice little home.

We stayed there for a Hunting Trip. Myself and 3 other guys. Property was clean. Property was exactly as described. Plenty of parking space. BBQ grill can probably be replaced. Nearing end of life. Fridge in Kitchen could use some maintenance, works great, just leaking water from bottom gasket. All other appliances in working order, air conditioning/heater works great. No complaints. Cleaning lady even stopped by to ask if we needed anything. Will definitely stay again whenever in the area.

Great Place with a Couple Mishaps

The place is in a great location with a dock. The house was clean and roomy. One of the bed frames was broken and they never came with a replacement. The wifi was also not working the entire time we were there (although they did at least try to come and fix it). Manager was friendly and prompt with responses.
