Charming House with lots of room

Our family of 11 stayed here and found it to be very clean, comfortable and very spacious! The 3 porches gave nice additional space for the kids to play and adults to hang out! Full well equipt kitchen and comfortable beds. Looking forward to staying here again.

It was a very nice house and location. My company had a job to complete in the area, and this property met all the requirements needed. Thank you to the home owner for allowing us to stay in such a short notice.

Over all it was a very nice place. It was cozy and the air conditioner in the living room was very nice. I don't know if this is the right place to put this or not, but only place I've seen for complaints so far. Just had a few complaints, 1. There was no slip resistance in the showers. 2. Mr. Cool remote holder on the wall, the screws were to small and the holder fell off the wall. 3. Freezer in the kitchen leaking water under the door. 4. The shower upstairs leaks water under the door. 5. There was a trash can on main porch next to BBQ grill that had trash in it. (We took care of it so we wouldn't get the blame.)

Retired Women

Overall this was a clean convenient place. Plenty of parking. The layout of bedrooms feels more appropriate for families becasue you have to walk through connected bedrooms both up and down stairs. The "office" bedroom has to be walked through for all three occupants of the bedrooms upstairs. We already knew bedroom #1 and #2 were connected. Since the evenings were cool enough for use of the funace we had a very strong fuel oil odor drifting up through return vents on the first floor all night. Bring extra TP and paper towels. There are no hooks or towel bars in either bathroom so a drying rack might be useful. The cool nights brought the mice inside each evening. They were very busy on the proch and in the kitchen. Glass and plastic containers for all your food will help. Expected but be aware! The living room is spacious and comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. Beach access is lovely. The side and back porch were great for storing unused items and a protected area for morning coffee. Enjoy your stay!

Misleading photos, Disappointed in the Quality

Other than having enough beds the large living room to play in, we were very disappointed in the quality of the property for the amount we paid. No garbage pickup, you are supposed to take it with you. Previous renter didn’t take theirs's and when I reached the property contact they stated that they would come remove it. They never came. As a result, we ended up with a mouse in the living room. Key to the front door is hard to turn and the door sticks. Deadbolt doesn’t have secure place to latch into. No railing on the outdoor stairs. Upstairs bathroom doorknob didn’t have a latch and you could not close the door to the bathroom. No lock on the bathroom. Paint is bubbling and peeling off the walls and ceiling of that bathroom. Downstairs bathroom has tiles peeling off the wall and the door is very difficult to close. Lamps/TVs in locations where there aren’t outlets to plug them in. Stairs inside squeak horribly and there are gabs in the stairs you can see through. No handrail on the internal stairs. No screens in any of the windows. If you are not providing AC guests need to be able to open the windows. Not enough dishware for the number of people advertised and there are no wine glasses. Cobwebs on the kitchen ceiling fan. Moved the couch to get to an outlet and behind the couch had not been cleaned. Ran out of hot water while showering, hot water heater not big enough for the number of people advertised. Smell coming out of the basement, discovered an open sewer pipe.

Fun Family Gathering

This rental provided a great place to hold a family gathering. There were plenty of beds for everyone. The house was very clean. The kitchen was perfect for fixing meals and the dining area was large enough to accommodate seating for everyone. The location was just 15 minutes from Old Forge/Water Safari. We enjoyed having camp fires in the evenings.

Lake access across a busy highway not a street

I will now always re-read reviews before checking in. But it would be helpful if the owners added to their check in information- bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and dish soap. This property had fewer basic amenities than anywhere I have ever stayed. We had mercy on the next guests and left some TP. The lake access is not just across a street, it’s across a 2 lane highway with limited sight distance in both directions & traffic going 60mph. The M-T we were there the traffic was heavy- I was completely terrified to let our kids cross. We did not “access” the lake. The house is lovely and impeccably clean. We did have fun hiking the railroad tracks behind the house and there is a trailhead to a pond, across the railroad and at the 4 way go through the gate with the stop sign on the left to get to the pond.

We booked this pretty last minute after realizing the original house would not be big enough. I read some of the reviews, which were mixed and we took our chances. Had I read all, we would not have! Upon arrival, I was not impressed with the crazy over grown weeds and poorly cared for porch. Opening the front door led to an overwhelming musty smell (can still smell in my hair). The place was as pictured, but a whole lot dimmer. The stairs were extremely loud and an open hole. The beds were loud and all but 1-2, like a brick, pillows flat as can be. We had to buy our own dishwashing soap and sponges (no dishwasher) and luckily did come with paper towel and extra toilet paper bc all you got was what was left in the roll. We left some extras for next guests. Needless to say, unfortunately this is not a place we would recommend or come back to

The photos in the listing are accurate but I would say look much better than in person. Positives:The home was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Check-in was easy with a lock box and property manager responded to issues. There were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, glasses and some spices in the kitchen. Negatives: As others have said, to get to the 3 bedrooms upstairs, you have to go through the office bedroom. One of the upstairs bedrooms is through the main upstairs bedroom. To get to the bathroom upstairs, you have to go through the main bedroom. There is one air conditioner in the main upstairs bedroom and one in the living room downstairs. They don't cool the bedrooms if you close the bedroom doors. Only one roll of toilet paper is provided in each bath and no toiletries - bring your own TP, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap and hand soap.The porch furniture is not in good condition and the porches are not clean. The house is very close to Rt. 28 and very busy. Traffic is loud if windows are open. There is lake access but you have to cross Rt. 28 which can be difficult - there is no crosswalk and the speed limit is 55 MPH. There is no beach or anywhere to sit at the lake and the lawn was not mowed or cared for. I would not stay here again.
