8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed this beautiful place. Appreciated the dock and boat lift. The beach was disappointing as it was weedy and dirty and the deck and patio were dirty from the trees but we cleaned it up several times. Not much you can do about that. Trees needed the dead branches cut out which might have helped a little. The inside of the house was clean and very nice and supplies there were great. Windows really needed washing on the outside. Will stay here again."

10/10 Excellent
"We were in Mason City for the world aerobatic contest held at the airport for 8 days. This spacious home was absolutely perfect for our group. It had plenty of room and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The front covered porch was easily our favorite spot * ideal for enjoying early morning coffee while looking out over the water, sharing meals and relaxing after long days at the airport. Catching the lunar eclipse over the lake right from the porch was truly unforgettable. We would love to stay here again. Thank You !!!!"
