Overall, our stay was average. The host was friendly, communication before arrival was great, and early check-in was much appreciated. During the stay, communication was slower, and we had to reach out for check-in instructions, checkout instructions, and the WiFi password.The backyard was a bit disappointing compared to expectations. It felt dated and run down, with no real outdoor lighting besides blue bug lights. The grill needed to be reassembled, and cleaning supplies, gloves, paper towels, and rags were left out, making it seem like cleaning may have been rushed or interrupted. Floors did not appear freshly cleaned, and powdered toilet cleaner was still left in the toilets.We were also glad we checked the propane tanks before grilling because both were empty. The host was unaware but did offer complimentary paddle boat use if we filled them, which we appreciated.The listing mentioned two queen beds, but we only found one. The home also had a noticeable mildew smell and damp feeling, and the floors/house were visibly unlevel, which may bother guests sensitive to those things.On a positive note, there were plenty of towels and linens, and the stay was comfortable enough overall. We aren’t picky travelers and didn’t mind tidying things ourselves. We just feel the property could benefit from a little more upkeep, attention to detail, and clearer communication for guests.

Worked well for us!

Nice little spot. 5 beds (1 bunk set) so can fit 10 individuals. We had 4 adults and 3 kids so every kid got their own bed. Backyard is large enough for a group of 10 or so to comfortably hang out. There was lots to do for the kiddos: fire pit, fishing (worms sold down the road), paddle boats, and even a bit of a sandy beach. Boats can be rented.Owners are responsive and care about guests having a good time. Note: do bring your own shampoo and soap for bath.

Family Vacation

Perfect home for a family vacation with children. All 4 kids loved playing in the beach and splashing in the lake. The family room had plenty of space for watching TV after a long day of playing in the sun and room for the kids to still play around in. Beds were cozy and slept all 4 adults and 4 children perfectly.

Really fun!

We had a really great time staying at this lake house. Catherine was a wonderful hostess, she was very prompt to respond to me with any questions I had. The house was clean and comfortable. The water was great and the sandy beach was a lot of fun for the 1ry old we had with us. We would love to stay at this house again in the future and would definitely recommend!

Definitely not worth the price. Deck was filthy, no dish rags, coffee maker quit working, shower backed up, bathroom sink leaked, two rolls of toilet paper, screen on deck door ripped, front door wouldn't shut. Fought flies. Had to wash all the sheets and remake beds. Son had to put steps on the dock so we could use. Forgot he had to rake the debris from beach front too, Left the place in better condition than we found it.

This review is just plain mean, and misleading. This family negotiated 2 extra days free, due to the fact that we were putting in a new pier, and one of the pieces had not arrived. I called the night before to discuss this. They said it was fine, as they were not renting a boat. They asked for an early check in which I granted. I talked with the adult daughter of the person that wrote this review. She said we all had a great time, that is just my parents. During the negotiation, for the 2 extra nights, I was told they would clean, wash the sheets, and make the beds. My cleaning partner and I still had to clean when we went to check it. The coffee maker should be reported to me, instead of left in a review. I now have a new combo coffee maker with K-Cup. Also, due to the review, NOT proper communication, my handyman was there before the next check in and changed the leaking faucet, and put liquid plumber down the drain. I am very responsive to maintenance issues, and making sure my customers have a good time. And there are many kitchen dish rags, if asked; I could have directed them to where they were. We ordered the ramp for the NEW FLO pier over a month ago, and have been calling repeatedly to find out where it is. Changing out the pier is not easy, but we are working on it as fast as we can. Front door closes fine. Deck is not filthy. Weed patrol is coming this week, but we must follow DNR rules.

This was a nice lake home on an all sports lake. There are four bedrooms and plenty of living room space for everyone! We had a great family vacation! The owner was very accommodating and helpful. We were able to dock our boat on the pier without a problem. The public access is two doors down. We had a really nice relaxing time!

Family getaway

We rented this property for the weekend to have a little getaway for our family. There was only seven of us so it was perfect our sister mostly uses of wheelchair so it a pleasant surprise when we seen the wheelchair ramp going up to the back deck we all enjoyed ourselves and made some great memories with her. Everyone on and around the lake was friendly. We love the little beach area attached to the property and the fire pit it just has a really nice cabin feel, even though it’s a house. We would definitely rent this property again

Quaint lake cottage

Our family of six with four children had a wonderful time at this lake house. It’s certainly not brand new but it’s very functional— like very high end camping. It is a nice little lake house with plenty of toys for the kids and room to spread out. The refrigerator is cold and I didn’t see any bugs in the house. we really loved the clean water and the wide assortment of beach toys for the kids. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a great family vacation !

The lake home provided a great place for our family to enjoy time together. The sand beach area gave our grandchildren a safe and enjoyable area to play while enjoying the beauty of the lake. The house was clean, organized, and served us very well. The owner made a special point of contacting us to insure we had the best experience possible. Kayaking, canoeing, fishing, catching turtles gave our family many positive moments. Beautiful lake - ideal for families!! Thank you !!

Wonderful place to gather & spend time at the lake!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time with our children and grandchildren at this house on Garver Lake! There was plenty of room for all of us & the living room layout was fantastic! We could all sit around on the couches talking to each other!! The deck was nice an enjoyable under the trees. We had problems with flies on the deck, but that was due to previous renters not putting all the trash out. Once all 4 trash bins were empty, the problem subsided. We had a wonderful time and hope to be back again!!

Fabulous relaxing time at the lake!

My family rented this cottage for a nice relaxing getaway and weren't disappointed! The owner was wonderful to work with and very attentive to helping to make sure we enjoyed ourselves; from giving us ideas of things to do, to helping out with kayaks and paddle boats! We chose this place for a number of reasons, one being that we could bring our dog. She loved it also! Being able to sit on the private beach with our dog, while my husband fished off the dock , and my Mom sat on the deck was exactly what we all needed to start off our summer! The owner said she was continuing to do updates to the property and we look forward to going back and seeing what she's done. We loved it.

Good location on lake but needs a lot of updating

The cottage has great potential and has been updated in certain areas. The bathrooms and kitchen have been recently remodeled and are user friendly. Good lake access with a nice, clean and sandy beach. Central AC and internet access is a plus. The other parts of the cottage need work. The couches and chairs in the living room are broken down and not at all comfortable. The mattresses are broken down, squeak and uncomfortable. Living room walls are cracking and trim is missing throughout the cottage. Very little light in the living room since there are no lamps. The screen door was broke leading out to the porch. An oil smell came out of the garage and into the house. If the owner spent some money on new furniture, new mattresses, some headboards, fixed some cosmetic issues throughout the cottage, and performed a complete cleaning, this would be a very nice place to rent. Also, two of the bedrooms are connected and do not have any separation.
Réponse de VrboOwner le 29 mars 2020
We are planning on replacing most of the furniture before next season. The futon is quite new, but I had become aware that someone had broken it. The mattresses were purchased in 2009 which is pretty new, and I have not had any one else tell me anything about the mattresses. That is something I will have to check on. We will also have a new beach since the water level has been high this year and we replace the beach ever few years. There are four lights in the living room, and a sliding glass door exit. I do go up there each week, and I have not smelled any oil smell, and have not had anyone else tell me anything about that.

Moms and Kids Getaway

This was a moms and kids trip and overall we had a good time, but there were several issues that caused me to only give 3 stars. First, the listing said there was a DVD player. It was the first night and we got all 7 kids hunkered down in the living room, ready to watch a DVD and there wasn't one. And the cable wasn't working. I contacted Kathy and she promptly came and installed one, but just beware and make sure the DVD player is there upon arrival. Second, the door of the bedroom off the kitchen does not close. Luckily my daughter is a heavy sleeper, but it was a privacy issue as well. Third, on the second the last day we ran out of toilet paper. I've never stayed in a rental where this happened. It was night and we had been enjoying some adult beverages, so nobody could run to the store. Things like that should be fully stocked. ]The biggest issue was the backyard though. It was an absolute mudpit and the only way to access the beach was to walk across a plank that was sinking and covered in mud. We had 7 kids under the age of 8. Some kids couldn't navigate this on their own and everyone's feet were covered in mud. It had rained a lot prior to this, but I"m sure this isn't the first time they have had this issue. They need to install a walk way or sidewalk or something. It was terrible. Those things aside, the house was a perfect size for all of us. The kids could all lay out in the living room. The beach in the back was perfect for the little kids to play and splash. Some kids got cuts on their feet from shells, so I would recommend wearing water shoes. Overall, the kids and moms had a fun time, but attending to those little things could have made the trip much better.

We are working on trying to get the backyard less wet. In June especially, there is a lot of rain. We were trying to decide exactly what to do, and we are planning to simply bring in more dirt at the end of the season. The neighbors did that, and ended up making our yard lower, so we thought the best solution would be to bring in dirt and try to make the yard higher, but timing is always an issue with something like that. I do believe we have figured out the direct TV issue, and the dvd player is there. But we did upgrade the Comcast, so that no matter what, people will have plenty of tv. Also, I am surprised that you ran out of toilet paper, because I do try to make sure there is plenty there. I was completely unaware of the a bedroom door issue. I will check into that. (I have since checked that bedroom door, and I am not sure what happened because it worked perfect for me.)

Lakeside Getaway

We had a lovely week at Kathy's cottage! She was quick to respond to all my questions beforehand, and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We spent the first half of the week with friends and the second with family. The water is clean and easy to walk into through the sandy beach. My friend's young son has autism and spent HOURS in the shallow trying to catch fish with a bucket. They come right up to you and swim around :) The younger kids loved swimming, the older kids loved fishing off the pier and the moms loved the relaxation, beautiful scenery, and quiet lake. We saw plenty of wildlife...caught a turtle, watched a hawk dive in the lake and catch dinner, saw muskrats, a hummingbird, a red-winged blackbird, baby bunnies and plenty of ducks and geese. The house is very cottagey. Kitchen is fully stocked. Laundry is in the house and very convenient. There's a new outdoor grill and good size deck. Plenty of extra bedding, towels, toilet paper, etc... There is WiFi in the home, but reception is not great. The pier is a bit rickety, and the ladder off the end is very slippery, so be careful. There’s a nice firepit in the front that we made smores on nightly. Don’t forget your firewood! We had great weather while we were there, and there was plenty of shade in the yard, and also plenty of sun throughout the day. A great combo. The one day it rained, we hung out inside and played the games we brought (plenty of room on the living room floor for Twister and comfy couches along all walls for movie nights). Bring your own games and playing cards just in case. I suggest renting the paddle boat from Kathy. It was a fun little perk that everyone enjoyed! All in all we had an awesome time on Lake Garver! Nice clean lake and cottage, beautiful views, lots of space, quiet, and fun. It’s also super close to South Bend/Notre Dame, Indiana so that my parents and sister’s family could easily come up for the day. I highly recommend Kathy’s cottage. It made me realize we need to be doing this every summer. I’ll start saving up now! Thanks Kathy :)

"Updating" was the least of our problems!

We came into the property with some trepidation, as the review regarding the need to update was published after we had already paid for our stay. We also knew, from the photos, that this wasn't a luxury rental and that was fine; as long as things are clean, we can work with the rest. Upon unlocking the door, we were greeted by rather dingy surroundings in all rooms, but, most revealing was what we found in the kitchen! There was food in the refrigerator (including milk, produce, etc) plus a dirty stove top & oven, microwave, a butter dish in the counter (with butter in it) and particles of food in the sink strainer...someone is living here and scooted out for the weekend!!! Not at all what we bargained for! On further inspection, the bedding was stained and rumpled (5 loads of laundry, coming up!); the bathrooms were "off" (including body hairs in shower & sink), an unclean toilet & dust laden ceiling fans; there was pet hair all over one of the LR chairs and the futon is unusable. We set out on a 2 hour clean up (although 5 loads of laundry took longer than 5 hours). Our cleaning included full kitchen, bathrooms, linens, all surfaces, handles, knobs, switches, etc. Came up with some very gross residue from the light switch plates (the house once owned by a smoker?). Boxes, bags and bins of clothing seemed to have been dumped in the cramped garage. Grill=greasy, gross. I did call the owner within a couple hours of being in the house; she was very nice & apologized for the condition of the place. She also told me she did have renters in the house (set up after we reserved the weekend) under the condition that they clean up and move out when the owner had vacation rentals coming in. She didn't have a chance to check the place out between them leaving & us coming in, which is inexcusable...makes me feel good about giving her checks for damage deposit and cleaning fee! (Cancelled those, pronto!) I would not have rented this place, at any cost, under those circumstances. The owner pointed out that we got an awesome rate on a Notre Dame game weekend...which wasn't even our reason for being there! Thank goodness we didn't pay the ND rate!! She twice mentioned my husband negotiating the rate with her; he was not involved at all! This was a trip Mom & 4 sisters; I was THE only contact. If cleaned up, updated & not used as regular rental this could be a nice vacation cottage. Sadly, this was not an ideal situation.

This situation was very different than most, because we ended up with a winter rental, with some conditions, while they are waiting for their house to be built. Part of their terms were that they made sure it was clean, and ready for the weekend renters that had already rented, and they would not be able to have those weekends, even though they are there the rest of the time until February. And I would have had the furniture updated; however, that is put off until the winter rental is done. Then we will steam clean and shampoo the carpets, and update the furniture. The furniture about 5 years old, and it gets a lot of use over the summers, so we had decided it was time to replace it with new. I had had a professional cleaner come in before the winter rental started, and will have her come in again before the season starts. I did not know that my winter rentals had not taken all of their food, but it seems they did not. They must have figured that since they were coming back on Sunday, that they would still use part of the refrigerator. My winter rental, that was managing this particular weekend, told me that all the sheets were clean, so the “5 loads of laundry” at the beginning was unnecessary. The reviewer did state that they could have been rumpled, by a person or dog, sitting on the bed after it was made. So she was not sure that they were not clean. But part of their deal was to wash the sheets and make the beds, so they simply did that at the beginning, and then did not do it at the end, so we did their laundry. Also, there are extra sets of clean sheets in every room. Also, we have a very large washer and dryer (under 2 years old), and I know the maximum amount of beds that could have been used was 2, so 5 loads seems excessive. I also know I had brought all of the bedspreads home and washed them all, and taken them back up in the middle of September. And I admit that I had her confused with another person that I talked with, so I was mistaken when I thought I had talked with her husband. I was simply trying to remember. We are always updating, and it is time for another update. We try hard to make it nice for people, and we have many nice amenities, and I have many repeats.
