Everyone was amazing and so accommodating! They had a storm and had to redo the floors and basement and got it done before we came! Amazing! Lots of space for our large group with adults and older kids! The boys stayed in the finished garage apartment and we had fun playing ping pong, pool and didn’t disturb everyone in the main house! We were in the pool all day and cooked each day! It’s was exactly what we needed! The beds were very comfy and towels were on the beds! We would definitely recommend it and go back!

Nice property. Very roomy. Pool and lake a big plus. Great sunsets. Furnishings inside a bit disappointing. The overall vacation was great. The location was close to lots of wonderful places.

Excellent Propery

The property was as expected and was a pleasant place for a large group to assemble for the holidays. The Christmas tree and other decorations was an unexpected, delightful touch!

This was clearly once a truly "stunning estate" but years of disrepair have left it to be kind of sad, and certainly not in line with the price. Many issues that have previously been reported, but no effort to fix them. Problems are too numerous to list but here's a sample:- Mouse poop in cupboards- Dishwasher full of dirty dishes and falls out of cabinet when drawers pulled out- Patio door cannot be closed except by deadbolt (locks out people using the deck)- Fridge/freezer stopped working, thawing all frozen things and spoiling food- Low water pressure, sometimes no water coming out of the taps- Lights for range hood do not work- Floors have 2” gaps between boards in places- Upper bedroom door cannot close properly, even with deadbolt, constant creaking during the night with any wind gust- Upper bedroom curtain rod falls off if curtains drawn or adjusted- “Games room” smelled like old cigarette smoke and sewage- Couches had visible stains all over them- Hand soap not refilled in bathrooms or kitchen- Bedside lamp in upper bedroom has broken knob to turn on/off, must be plugged in or unplugged. Bulb flickers uncontrollably anyway and is unusable- Bedroom above games room/garage has no window coverings- Large chef’s knife found in games room while playing with small children- Deck boards for front entrance stairs are not level and seem to be rotting underneath/unsafe- Bathroom fan is installed in a hole that is the wrong size, showing rough drywall around fan
Kitchen cabinets in terrible condition
Vent missing cover
Can't close door to patio
Flooring gaps

Response from VrboOwner on 22 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re disappointed with this review, as it does not accurately reflect the property or the experience of the many guests we’ve hosted over the past 5 years. Throughout your stay, we remained responsive and repeatedly encouraged you to let us know if anything needed attention so we could address it promptly. Each time something was brought to our attention, we made every effort to resolve it as quickly as possible—for example, the door hardware issue was repaired soon after it was reported. It’s important to emphasize that this is a country cottage, not a city property. Features such as well water (which can result in lower pressure at times) and natural movement in hardwood flooring are normal characteristics of this type of setting and are not defects. These elements are part of the cottage experience and have not been an issue for the vast majority of our guests. We also note that several concerns raised were minor in nature, not visible or impactful to the overall stay, or were addressed during your visit. Despite our ongoing communication and willingness to assist, it seemed difficult to meet expectations. With over 100 positive reviews on Airbnb and years of consistent hosting, we stand by the quality of the home and the level of service we provide. We will continue to maintain and improve the property, but we believe this review does not fairly represent the experience most guests have. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Not As Advertised, Needs repairs, Not "LUXURY," Not worth the price.

Review based on decades as renters and tenants of vacation properties. 1500 chars leaves no room for details on the good (location, gameroom, beds, grill) or rather bad (insufficient furniture, no guidebook, many minor maintenance issues like improperly attached hinges and knobs, flickering lights, stains, faulty GFI socket, loose shower drain cover, missing grout, no vacuum or plunger, etc.) 4 of 7 bedrooms were quite small, and the one w/2 beds is in a separate building. Major shortcomings: kitchen cabinets were shabby. Advertised hot tub and kitchenette did not exist. The electricity to key kitchen outlets did not work. The pool heater, AC thermostats, and clothes dryer did not work. The pool was apparently overdue for cleaning, because within a few days it was green and scummy and we no longer used it. Between all 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, there was only one waste basket! Some bedrooms had neither closet nor wardrobe to hang clothes. The garage bedroom had only one dresser drawer and two nightstand drawers that were not filled with the owner’s supplies (no closet or wardrobe), and had no curtains on any of the windows, including the one that looks directly at the main house bedroom windows and is right next to the bathroom/shower. The handrail on the stairs to the lower level was held together by bungee cords, not strongly enough to be safe. The garbage shed had left-over garbage, no bins, and was not sealed against rodents, so we had to clean up a mess.

The outside of the property was full of dead bugs and was not inviting to use. We hardly sat outside either on the porch or the upstairs balcony due to the number of dead bugs on the deck and windows. The property needed to be power washed. When we told the host he sent someone over who said the fruit flies in the house and on the outside were difficult due to the time of year. They did nothing to remedy the situation.

We booked this property for a large family gathering and were initially excited about our stay. However, our experience was extremely disappointing and did not reflect the condition represented in the listing.Before our arrival, we contacted the property owner regarding a recent review that mentioned rodent droppings, cleanliness concerns, and maintenance issues. Based on those concerns, we asked to cancel our reservation. The owner would not cancel or offer a refund because it was past the “30 day prior” rule. He responded with “you should have checked the reviews before you booked”. Even though the review was from April, well after we had booked the property in January. The owner assured us that the issues referenced in that review had been addressed and resolved, so we proceeded with our stay in good faith.Unfortunately, upon arrival, we found many of the same issues still present.Some of the problems we encountered included:• Rodent feces inside kitchen cabinets and on floors• Old food (including chicken wings) left on the floor in the recreation room• Cobwebs and bugs visible on the kitchen ceiling• Dirty floors with food residue and dirt still present in the main living areas• Trash left behind from previous guests, including food waste and diapers• Dirty laundry from prior renters still left in the laundry area• Empty liquor bottles and beer cans scattered throughout the property• Multiple electrical outlets that did not functionTo be continued…..

Wonderful

The quiet of the area and the sound of the water as we sat with the candles lit and the christmas tree lights glowing.. made the weekend too short. It was fabulous. The rooms are spacious and the beds super comfy and the comforters were just right. We walked in to a very warm and cozy atmospher and felt at home and welcomed immediatley. The kitchen exceeded our expectations and was well stocked, open and spcacious... it was simply... well...perfect! Thank you Gary for being a super and superb host!!! See you again!
