Summary: This was our third stay at this property. It suits our family very well. Being able to have a dog is a real plus. having the enclosed wraparound porch is ideal for rainy weather, and we enjoyed having evening fires in the fire pit. Our only reason for not giving it five stars is that it could be cleaner. There were waste baskets not emptied, and the cleanliness of the sheets was doubtful. The laundry facilities are wonderful and we used them to wash sheets. The floors needed to be vacuumed. Except for those issues, we plan to return and would recommend to other families.

Summary: One of the reasons I rent a house for vacation is so I can cook for my family instead of having to go out to eat for every meal. This house is NOT set up for cooking. The sink, cabinets and counter space are in a separate room from the refrigerator and stove/oven! All of the cooking implements and utensils are either broken, too old, or too small. It was very challenging cooking with the provided tools. Plus, there is no dishwasher, so I spent my vacation washing dishes for 7 people. Not the worst thing in the world, but certainly not ideal. Every time I used the stovetop, there was a very strong odor of cat urine. Not what you want to smell when cooking! The beds and pillows were not very comfortable, and the "couch" is a joke. The cushions are so thin you're basically sitting on the frame. We spent most of our time out on the porch, which was much more comfortable. The lake is a short walk across the street, but is not "semi-private." It's a very small beach sandwiched between a private residence and a busy marina. Once again, not the worst experience, but not the best. Overall, the house was not very clean, with many cobwebs in the corners and dirt on the floor. Also, the bedroom with the bunk beds had a very strong odor of moth balls, which I found was due to an unopened box of moth balls in the closet. Bottom line, I do not recommend this place and would not book here again. This house needs new furniture, new beds, and a bunch of cooking stuff to be comfortable.

Summary: This was our second year staying a week here. We love the enclosed wrap around porch. It doubles our usable space. The laundry was wonderful with 2 little ones. The beds were comfortable except the bottom bunk bed. If 2 people sleep on it, a block of wood is needed to support the outer edge. We were prepared after last year. Being pet friendly there is dog hair on the rugs but we felt comfortable having our dog there.The doll house was a hit as well as the fire pit and charcoal grill. The distance to the lakefront is not a detractor since we could leave our kayaks and canoe there. The stove/oven isn’t in the kitchen but that wasn’t a problem. Having a bathroom on both 1st and 2nd floors was very convenient. We made good use of the grocery store nearby.This place is about as perfect for our 3 generation family vacation as possible.

Summary: Initial appearance was good but the lawn was overgrown. The beds were full size, not queen as stated in the description. The porch was cluttered with too many uncomfortable chairs, we ended up placing many on them out of the way in order to create a sitting area for our family. The house itself was cluttered with knick-knacks and stuffed animals. The bath towels were folded but damp, it was unclear if they had been washed and the linens smelled. We had to rewash towels and linens and clean/disinfect all surfaces. Our biggest disappointment was that our host ignored our request to mow the lawn, they never replied. We have small dogs and an infant who could not utilize the yard. They advertised internet access but it was actually the network from another house that we could only connect from the one corner of the front porch. The beach area was ok but was more than a short walk and we had to cross a very busy 55 mph road. This made walking with children and beach toys almost impossible. We loved the area but will be looking at other properties when we return next year.

Summary: Unfortunately, the accommodations were the downside to our vacation. I’ll start off with the pros, nice porch, location is good, private beach across the street was awesome for beach play and kayak launching point. Now for the cons, and I like to leave honest reviews in an effort to be constructive but also for others to make informed decisions before renting a place. You’re spending a lot of money and need to know fully what you are getting. This is the first overwhelmingly negative review I’ve ever left for a stay. The house is old, which I don’t have a problem with, as I’ve stayed at old houses before. However, this house needs a lot of updating and upgrades. First and foremost it was dirty, the floors did not look like they had been vacuumed, dirt and cobwebs against baseboards and corners of rooms. My wife tried to vacuum and hose of the vacuum cleaner was significantly clogged. It was rather gross. Beds are size double, no queens for couples, and mattresses are not comfortable at all. Room with bunk beds has an overwhelming stench of moth balls. My boys doused the room in Febreze before going to bed. I know it’s advertised as no Wi-Fi but cellular reception In the area is poor so having that feature would be nice. We had a terrible time communicating w/our family who lived in town due to such poor cell reception. Knick knacks everywhere, breakable stuff that is frustrating for parents of young children. TV is 30+yrs old and sums up the house. “Couch” is terrible.

Summary: Just what we wanted when we came to Speculator, and our second year renting. It is an old cottage with a terrific wrap-around enclosed porch that is wonderfully comfortable and good for entertaining our extended family (30+, most staying at Camp of the Woods). It also features a large yard with fire pit and BBQ. The other amenities are older but adequate and consistent with the cottage setting. It is beautifully decorated. And (very importantly for us) we could bring our dog, an integral part of the family.

Summary: Everything was good. Just what the ad stated. The only two issues were uncomfortable mattresses and the floors needed to be vaccumed. Had a great time. The porch was amazing. Accommodations were great.

Summary: I was traveling with my mother who is in her 70's, two teenage boys and a dog. The Farmhouse is charmingly quirky and in a great location. The wrap around porch was our favorite place to be. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen equipped with most things we needed. The house is minutes away from waterfall hikes, Lake Pleasant and downtown Speculator. There is a busy road to cross and a short trail to the lake access. The hosts were awesome and answered all questions within minutes. We all loved the area and hope to get back some day.

Summary: We loved the enclosed, wrap around porch. The distance to the lake wasn’t bad even with 2 littles. Two of the double beds needed some help to be comfortable. The porch had an over abundance of chairs which we arranged to suit our use. It could have been cleaned a bit better. The yard was nice with the raised fire pit but could have been mowed. The laundry was very nice as was the kitchen. cell service was excellent. Having a full bath on both floors was very helpful. The charcoal grill was appreciated. Our 3 yr old granddaughter loved the doll house. Nice dining room and living room. Overall we had a wonderful time staying there for a week and would highly recommend it .Having towels and sheets provided was a real plus.

Summary: We are all about outdoor activities and this location was great. The lake access is as shown and is gorgeous. Though I had concerns when we booked the property about the lake access being across the street next to a marina, it is a short walk across a not-busy road; there is a tree line that blocks out the marina view; also, it is a small and pretty marina with two tiny docks, no noise, no smell, bunch of small boats and sailboats, so it did not detract from the featured beach photo. There are also a ton of things to do outdoors. We enjoyed kayaking (rented from that marina), whitewater rafting, hiking, swimming. The hosts were very responsive to our few minor nits. We couldn't figure out the satellite TV at first and they walked us through it. Had a question about how to put out recycling and they addressed it. The house itself: The wraparound porch is amazing and we spent most of our time out there (this was summer) lounging and eating our meals (they have a table). There were doll houses and toys that I could see young kids spending hours with. I read the comments about the beds; we had no problems so the mattresses were either replaced or we just don't have back issues. However, if you are fussy about the layout of your vacation home or have a larger gathering of people who want to hang inside, not on the porch, this is really not the place. It's a typical old house with small, separate rooms. That means no open floor plan, no kitchen island with marble tops, no vaulted ceilings or skylights, no flat screen TV, no modern furniture. The living room was suitable for a family of four wanting to watch TV, not a big group hangout. The hang-out place is the porch, which is where we spent 95% of our time when we were awake, and this was summer. We are a family of four and it suited us just fine, but I have friends who are a little more (ahem) bougie and they would drop dead at the sight of any vacation home without an open floor plan.
