Summer vacation by the lake

Great location! Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. We could walk to the lake easily. Dog and kid friendly. Loved the spa and game room. Only downside was the trash situation, you have to drive your trash over a mile away to throw it out and it’s only open 8 to 5pm. Other than that, we had a great time and would return.

Good times

Fun stay. Cabin was in good condition and clean. Location is within walking distance to a marina, boat rentals, water activities. Game room was really fun! I deducted a star because the property was advertised as private but the neighbors are close by. Also there was no coffee the which was kinda annoying. Just stock coffee! It's cheap and goes a long wag.

Nice house in Boulder Bay

This house worked well for our winter vacation. Our main criteria for choosing this property were the kids game equipment, pet friendly property, and flat driveway that isn't difficult when covered in snow. We found the house to be nice and clean, and easy for our small dog to settle into. The kids gaming equipment all worked perfectly well, and they enjoyed it! Everything worked as it should....kitchen appliances, laundry machines, heaters. Only minor issue we had was the downstairs shower door was stuck half way open, so we just didn't use that shower. We did weather a 6 inch snowstorm here, with no issues getting in/out of the driveway or neighborhood. We would certainly stay in this house or nearby again.

We apologize for the minor issue with the downstairs shower door and appreciate your understanding. We're delighted that the flat driveway made navigating the snowstorm hassle-free.

Too hot

Didn’t feel clean, had items in disrepair including an upstairs window and the front screen door, as well as a badly stained carpet upstairs. It was well stocked with all necessary items, and the back yard was enjoyable. The listing says no AC, which would be fine, if there were adequate ways of cooling the house down. However the house, particularly the upstairs remained very warm throughout the day and night, making sleep difficult. I wouldn’t stay here again.
