House is not as depicted. We realized immediately upon arrival it was not habitable. We left immediately and requested a refund. Hosts refuse to respond to us and VRBO agents for a requested refund. The agents reviewed the photographs provided and agreed a refund was warranted. The location was great. Such a shame the house was so neglected. Please review the photos and ask yourself if you want to sit on those chairs and enjoy the view, or cook on that grill, or get eaten alive by bugs because of the AC set up. The deck had broken planks, trash strewn about and bowed when you walked on it. Same for the stairs- splintered, broken and/or bowing. Stained beds, stained pillows, broken furniture⊠I could go on but I wonât.
Fun location with a short walk from the small parking area to the house. May be a little challenging for people with mobility issues. Check in process was easy. Nice little picnic table set up to eat right at the waters edge. Water pressure in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom were very weak and there were no check out instructions but John and Barb responded in a timely manner. Would stay again.
This property was a perfect little lakeside spot for my friends and I to spend the weekend. The deck by the water is so relaxing and the house itself is comfortable and well equipped.
We had a great weekend. The lake was beautiful.We had a lot of fun kayaking and using the canoe. It was very quiet and peaceful.
The kitchen had ecerything we needed and the house was a good size for the 6 of us.
Home away from home! Great place on the lake. Property was fully stocked and owner very accommodating. Be prepared for stair walking with many decks. Renting a golf cart to get up to the house from the shared parking area is a must when you have luggage and groceries for a weekâs stay. Well worth it for the views and fire pits on multiple decks. Would definitely stay here again!
The location of this property is just beautiful! The view from the front deck is wonderful! The home was clean and well stocked. We did bring out own linens and towels. You do have to cross a foot bridge from the parking area to the island and there are stone / block steps to get up to the house. He had a very nice stay and would definitely rent again. We did have to modify our stay and remove a night, which was not refunded to us.
Barb and John are great hosts; very warm and responsive. The home has a stunning view of the lake. Depending on your style and needs be mindful there is no dishwasher, or laundry and you have to take your own sheets and towels. We did all that and had a good time. Lots of day trips in and around the area. Big Y for groceries was great.
We had a lovely time at the lake! The house was very clean, and the hosts were so nice. It was a perfect place for our family. Our grandchildren didnât want to leave.
My family had a great week at this house! We enjoyed swimming, kayaking/ canoeing, and used the fire pit. Accommodations were very comfortable, and TV had access to lots of movies. Would definitely visit again.
I was blown away by how clean and nice the property was. Barb was super accommodating and my family was able to have a great Six Flags experience and come back and rest properly.
We really enjoyed our stay; it was exactly what the doctor ordered. I loved that it was very close to a rails-to-trails path, which my son and I took advantage of. It was also very close to the Old Mill Pond Village Shops, which was a wonderful find for us. This was a hidden vacation area that we were unaware of, that was so close to home. Usually we'd have to travel great distances to get such a relaxing view, but for us, it was not very far. We loved it! And Barb is very communicative and was there for our every need.
The house was nice and had a great view of the lake. We even saw some bald eagles! Weather wound up being too cold to go in the water, but we enjoyed hanging out in the cozy living room and looking out on the lake. The lack of linens is inconvenient, but we came prepared and it worked out fine. We didn't see the hosts but they gave us all the info we needed.
Great place for a college reunion. Very comfy setting! Relaxing!!
Great location. The only struggle is the hike up to the house. Leaves werenât cleaned up and it was pouring when we arrived which made it a little treacherous. The walkway and staircase has broken bricks. Overall the home was very clean, comfortable and a great place for friends and family getaways.
Beautiful location on the water. House is everything as advertised. We had a great time. The deck and firepit area and dock are three distinct and great places for morning coffees or evening drinks. Yes, the house is on an "island" with a small foot bridge and stairs/ramp up to the house, but having to carry your things for a minute is well worth it! Great place, Fair price, good people. Hope to return one day!
We are a couple who met in college and have been married for 40 years. We love coming to the house and enjoy the beautiful, peaceful environment. We are planning to both be retired soon.
When we saw this unique private island, we were mesmerized by the expansive views, we knew we found a peaceful home. It is great for boating and fishing or just relaxing.
We love the private features of island living, compared to the congestion of being on a main road. The views are unbelievable....You can kayak or enjoy the canoe. We have a private dock and you can bring your boat or jet ski. It feels like you are in a cabin in the woods, but with lake views. Best of ALL worlds!
