Felt like staying at Grandmas

Place is decorated very cute. Close to town and an easy walk to attractions. Could use a few repairs but seems the owners are working on improving as needed. Walk in shower no tub. Could use a washer and dryer

Disappointed

Ant problem in kitchen, front door wouldnt open far enough to get in, Back door no stable stairs or railing for elderly guest. Pictures are deceiving not decorated at all like them, not good lighting in dining area to eat. Bedrooms decorated nicely but matresses are awful.

Most excellent experience!

We were more than pleasantly surprised. What a cute house! Very well appointed, clean and most pleasant. Everything we needed was there. Washer and Dryer, dinnerware, cooking utensils, coffee makers, microwave. linens and more. The proprietor was injured in an accident while we there, so her friends stopped by to check on us. My wife, my son, my dog and I were thrilled with this accommodation. We have already decided to come back to LBL and stay act the "Flamingo House" again. Thanks so very much, Misa, Mark, Christian and Lucky

Lots of updates need really bad

The house was very clean. But It is in great need of maintenance on the interior of the house. None of the interior doors will close, trim work falling down, wood floors need to be refinished, furniture needs replaced. Holes in the walls, And ALL of the walls and ceiling needs to be taken down to the studs. I'm sure it would help get rid of the stale odor that is in every room.This is an Older house that has not had any proper upkeep done in years. This could really be a very cute house. But it is in dire need of a good amount of money invested into it.

No southern hospitality here.

This old house was bare bones. We even had to go buy more toilet paper. The front door screen didn’t open all the way. Does in the house stuck and had to be forced open. Drips all over the floor from years of touch up painting. Roach droppings in the kitchen. The hand soap and dish soap containers almost empty. Peeling paint in the bathroom. when I reached out for help with an extremely uncomfortable bed I was answered with disrespect and curtness. This solution wound up being just to flip over the heated bed cover that had been put on upside down.

Convenient location could walk everywhere.

While our stay was good, the cottage is in need of some TLC. The recliners are pretty old and don't operate well at all. Once of the beds has broken springs in it and the front bedroom on the right has a window that literally fell out. Had we not caught it, it would have broken. Wewould recommend a handrail at the steps at the paition leading to back door. My wife has difficulty with her balance and fell over backwards ontothe ground. Fortunately it resulted in srapes and bruises no broken bones. There were at least 3 piles of dog poop that we unfortunately stepped in when we arrived. It was to dark out to see it in time. The front porch light didn't work. The back bedroom on the right has a serious soft spot in the floor, feel like you could fall through. Finally the living area could use some improved lighting. It is very dark near the front door. Aside from this we had a good stay and we enjoyed ourselves.

Disappointing

I didn't read the reviews prior to staying, but now that I have, I am disappointed to find out that the issues I had, were noted by previous guests going back more than a year. There was an odor, I had to buy a candle to cover it, one guest said it was musty but it smelled like a dog to me. The other was mice, if you have mice holes in your walls you know you have mice. We did not see droppings but we heard them eating in the walls and one night a mouse ran into my phone leaned against the base board charging. Scared it and us. And lastly, it is not professionally cleaned. Nasty baseboards, dirty window sills, mold on the freezer door seal, etc. If I am paying to have the property cleaned it needs to be more than a "mop and dust" clean. Old homes are going to have issues but take action and fix them when they are reported. Evolve manages this property and they have the home owner as "boots on the ground" which is a serious conflict of interest. I will always read reviews from now on.

Would stay again

This is a nice little house. Very quiet neighborhood within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. The negative reviews had me scared but I'm so glad I ignored them and gave this place a chance. It's not a 5 star hotel but is a nice home away from home.

Great weekend place

This home is conveniently located for exploring Grand Rivers and the Land Between the Lakes. Had fun everyday out at LBL and then fantastic evenings in town for dinner. Walkable to the business district in Grand Rivers.

Horrible

I would in no way recommend anyone stay at this property. We rented it for 2 nights, but left before 10:00 am after 1 night. The smell of mold and mildew had permeated EVERYTHING. The furniture and mattresses were damp from the moisture and mildew in the house. The "workmanship" to remodel the place was sorely lacking. There was a spot in the floor in one bedroom that I thought I was going to fall through. This place should not be a rental anywhere!!!

Hazardous/Dangerous - Renter Beware

Warning: This property is not ready to be rented. It is hazardous and dangerous – we have pictures and video to support all of these complaints. Do not rent unless you are assured it has been gutted and completely updated – everything that has been done has been not much more than a band-aid to date. Otherwise, be careful where you step, the floor is soft in many spots (especially in the blue room which is covered up by an area rug) - that is if you don't trip upon entry via the makeshift step. The house still has the scent of a former smoked in home which spreads throughout with the uncleaned ducts of the HVAC system - we are a family with allergies which worsened with severe respiratory issues when we were in the home (which was only during the evening) than when we were not - the smell was masked by plug-in air freshners and a scentsy diffuser which for our family just made it worse until they were removed. My son and I both needed to use our inhalers during our stay. The pipes were not to code and would shake when using the washing machine - also the bathroom sink was hooked up backwards which we learned when one of our kids attempted to wash their hands. The stove is on an uneven surface which is a hazard along with there being no smoke detector initially in the kitchen (no carbon monoxide detectors until contacting the owner). The doors to all of the bedrooms do not shut unless forced which is an issue with small children – the sound would rattle the house if we made the effort to shut the door – not to mention two are hung upside down. The house was excessively humid which was noted by the mist and water throughout the home and the blue bedroom had holes in the window with efforts to close. Two of the beds were broken in the Paris room and the blue room. We walk away stuffier than when we arrived but thankfully unscathed. The minor issues such as the kitchen not being well stocked with supplies or the furniture being cumbersome and a possible risk to small children was small in the scheme of the disaster that is flamingo cottage. In closing, the “EXTRA FEES” will also surprise you... we won’t be back!
