Fantastic place to stay. Squeaky clean!

The pictures online don't do it justice. It was bigger and more open aired in design than the pictures suggest. Mary, the landlord, was kind, professional, and accommodating. I would go back in a minute. A++++++++

Cable did not work on one tv, remote didn’t work. Was deceiving about house being on a resort.

Not private. Shared with cottages. Not informed of that and disappointed by it

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Oct 2020
I apologize you did not know the house was also part of a resort. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I added that into the description. If you would have informed me, I could easily have remedied the cable/remote on the tv it did not work on. I saw you/your family members multiple times during the week and nothing was said.

Lake House

Visited my Mom and this was the PERFECT place to stay. House was clean, cozy, and comfortable for the 6 adults and 2 children under 3. We had plenty of room to visit and the children loved the playground. Would highly recommend and plan to return!! Mary was a joy to work with.

AMAZING

What a tremendous place!! Four of us came up for golf and thankfully we found this home! First, the place was beyond clean. For anyone looking at the listing the pictures do not do it justice. Very open living area and the bedrooms are more then large enough. The front porch is a great place to play cards and enjoy the views of the lake. Had the privilege of meeting Mary. She was wonderful! Fully stocked kitchen. I won't ramble on but please do not hesitate to rent this home. I have nothing negative to say or any concerns for that matter. 5 star. Thanks Mary
