The lake cabin was the perfect getaway for the weekend with some friends! Everything was as listing said and it was a very nice property. We brought our kayaks and the beach on the lake was perfect for putting in the water, nice and sandy. It was perfect in every way!
Our stay was great and Courtney responded quickly whenever we had concerns. Wifi was spotty but we managed.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually getting rid of the satellite wifi and having fiber installed next week. You're welcomed back at anytime.
The house was great. Clean, quiet, we enjoyed our time here. I wish we could have stayed longer. Courtney was great, answered all questions that we had.
Enjoyed our stay! Lake was very convenient for the kids to swim and the pier was close by to fish. Upstairs room was big enough and the downstairs room was comfy and roomy. A few updates needed like the shower heads and faucets, back sliding glass door getting stuck and porch upkeep. The view of the water was great but didn't like all the neighbors being able to watch us in back due to multiple houses backyards facing each other. Other than those few things we truly enjoyed our stay.
After a nearby owner canceled on us the night before our weekend getaway Courtney helped us and had the home ready for the next morning! She even allowed us to check in early! Lovely weekend getaway for the family.

I was so happy to host you guys. You took great care of my home and you're welcome back at anytime. I'm so glad your weekend getaway turned out great!
Everything was just right. It was easy to communicate with the host and everything was easy to understand. Lots of seating indoors and out. Boat ramp nearby in a nice, quiet neighborhood.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Rustic meets modern is the perfect description. We enjoyed the decor, cleanliness, coziness, and peace of this location. In addition, the host was very accommodating. Our kids also loved the house. Great stay!
This cabin was perfect for out of town guests. The host was very responsive and cordial. I would recommend this property as well as save it for our next party. 😊
We picked this wonderful location because it was a great meeting place to reunite families after some went on a 2 week motorcycle trip from Austin to Ny. We intercepted our spouses and friends on their journey back to austin and had a splendid night of swimming and catching up. Was very comfortable and clean. Highly recommend!

It was such a great idea to meet up and enjoy the cabin. You guys are welcome back at anytime.
This was perhaps the most well-appointed home we have stayed in! From all the needed grilling to tools, a gas grill and a charcoal grill, a fire pit with wood, adorable decor, outdoor seating, blankets galore, and a kitchen that had everything we needed and more. The owner was amazing about communicating with us. I really can't say enough good things about this property. We would absolutely go back!

Place was nice and clean , did not realize that the owner was watching us on video and listening
The a/c went out the second day late in the afternoon so we turned the thermostat up so it would thaw out and opened the doors, the neighbors small dog ran through the house and at that time we got a call from the property manager and was told that we needed to pay an extra $150 cleaning fee , at that time we realized we were being videotaped or watched she even made the cmmment that the guy in the blue shirt told the dog to come in . Was not aware or informed that we were going to be under surveillance during our stay

This review is completely inaccurate. Matt only informed me that the air was not working properly once I let him know I saw someone enter the property with a dog and he would be charged a pet cleaning fee because I have a strict NO PETS policy. The video from my security system shows and records audio of his guest in a blue shirt beckoning for the dog to follow him inside. He lied and said it was my neighbors dog. I know my neighbors dogs and this isn't their dog. Plus neither of my neighbors were in town. Also Matt's wife tried to lie to me about the dog and when I told her it's on video she said she was so sorry and the dog wouldn't be staying and that it was a friend's dog that came over to visit. This call was recorded by the VRBO agent when I called to ask about my rights as a property owner if my house rules are violated. They told me I could cancel the reservation and the guest would have to leave immediately. I didn't want to do that and just wanted the dog to leave and them to pay the pet cleaning fee. I am allowed to have security cameras on the outside for the protection of my guests and property. This is published in the listing. I offered to send the A/C company out at 8:30pm when I first learned of the malfunction and Matt declined saying it was cooling off. I told him the company would come out first thing in the morning instead. He left at 8am a day early without giving me the opportunity to fix the issue and before the A/C could get there. Matt is not welcomed back.

The property doesn't have certain amenities
The property was in a nice place, but the porch lights doesn't work, and the property manager said we can stay untill 4 pm on sunday, but some lady came and said we have to leave by 12 pm. Then the property manager said we have to leave. And one neighbor came shouting at us saying we r loud coz we're laughing. i do not recommend this property coz the manager doesn't keep her word.

Charana completely disrespected and broke every house rule. He threw a bachelor party without my consent and had about 15 guests. I reiterated the HOA rules of only having 3 cars and he kept changing the names on the list to have more people access the community. He did inform me of the porch light not working and I told him he could plug in the string lights until I could fix it. I received a call from the neighbor the morning of his checkout saying the guests were playing loud music and the drums late at night. Also one of the guests urinated on the beach in broad daylight and another exposed his rear end. There were lots of cigarette buds left outside all over the property. Charana did not ask for a late checkout and checkout time was at noon. My housekeeper went by to clean the house for the next guests and had to ask them to leave at 1:30. His guests apologized for the incidents and started cleaning while Charana yelled, was disrespectful and put his fingers in the housekeepers face. I was on speaker phone and could hear the conversation. During his stay he sent me a message saying he loved the property, to keep the place going so he could come back and he spoke with my really nice neighbor. I have the copies of these messages. Of course this was prior to me receiving the neighbors call. I pride myself in providing the best possible experience for my guests and that is why I receive 5-star reviews and have maintained a Premier Host status. Charana is not welcomed back.

While my sons and I were looking forward to a relaxing getaway, several issues with the property significantly impacted the quality and comfort of our stay. I’m reaching out to respectfully request a refund for one night of our two-night reservation to account for the inconveniences we encountered.Here is a summary of the concerns:Sliding glass door: The door to the back patio was extremely difficult to open and close. Because it didn’t fully seal, gnats entered the home each evening. Every morning began with us cleaning up dead bugs from surfaces and floors—before we could even make coffee.Fire alarm issues: A fire alarm repeatedly beeped due to a low battery. Without access codes for the alarm system, I had to get up multiple times each night to silence it so we could sleep.Kitchen setup: Although the listing states the home accommodates eight people, the kitchen lacked adequate cookware for even four. There were no large pots or pans, and we had to split meals across two small pans. Additionally, the cabinets were disorganized and filled with repair supplies, leaving no space to store groceries, which cluttered the limited counter space.No dish drainer or kitchen towels: We were aware there was no dishwasher, but there was also no dish drainer or kitchen towels. We ended up using a bath towel to dry dishes throughout our stay.Back patio: The outdoor seating was overshadowed by a wasp infestation in the storage box. The lid couldn’t be secured, so it was unsafe

Hi Leslie. I am quite disappointed that you were unsatisfied with your stay at the cabin and you are asking for a 1 night's refund in which I will respectfully decline. Also VRBO doesn't issue refunds after checkout.
You initially stated you were lookin for a quick getaway, comparing prices, and on a single mom's budget. The next day you booked and I sent check in information. Never once during your stay did you inform me of any concerns as the message log confirms. Yet you stayed for 2 night.
After reviewing the alarm system notifications log, I see several doors were opened, left opened and closed an excessive amount of times. On 7/18 @ 4:17:12pm the back sliding door was opened and closed 30 times from 10:36:34am. I'm not sure how you were able to do that if the door was difficult to open and close. It appears the gnats came in due to this or they were planted. The housekeeper discovered lots of gnats only in the upstairs shower which appears that they were brought and dumped there. The guests after you didn't have an issue and neither did I after staying the last few days. You also never informed me that the smoke detector was beeping. I would have sent the housekeeper to change the batteries. The kitchen is fully equipped to handle my large family that enjoyed Thanksgiving there. If you stay in a cabin in the country, you have to keep the doors closed to keep bugs out and maintain the temperature as stated in the check in instructions. You are not welcome back.
We really enjoyed our stay in this quaint little cabin by the lake. It is an older cabin but was very clean. The neighborhood felt safe and out 13 year old boys enjoyed playing by the lake and exploring. The complementary popcorn was also a big hit with our boys.
me & friends travel alot.
We've been everywhere. This place is so peaceful, private, beautiful, enjoying and no words to explain. And so much space to enjoy.
We loved staying at this cabin! Everything was extremely clean and Courtney did an amazing job to make us feel welcomed. We appreciated the attention to detail and the effort of going the extra mile. Definitely recommend this place! Our family had a blast!
The property owner thought of everything from fishing gear to firewood. The view of the lakeside property is beautiful and we enjoyed a peaceful weekend on the deck. Thanks so much for all your thoughtful preparations to make our family weekend a wonderful memory.
This little house was cozy, exceptionally clean and super cute. Although it was cold and rainy during most of our weekend stay, we had a great time. We had beautiful lake views from the upper and lower patios and window, and we enjoyed fishing from the shore and the neighborhood pier. The considerate host thought through lots of little details, from campfire logs so we could enjoy a little fire and make smores on a chilly evening to a complimentary bottle of wine and light snacks in the kitchen. We had a great time and highly recommend.
