Summary: It was such a great experience from the beautiful view of the pond to the amount of space there was inside! All of the amenities were great it had 7 rooms total so it fit everyone comfortably. Only thing that was a problem but they mentioned they’d fix it after we left was one of the bonfire chairs were broken so we had to grab another chair. Also they mentioned they had a check in the same day we checked out so it did kind of feel rushed because maintenance was already there before checkout time which they notified me about, but I would’ve still wished to sit down and enjoy the view one last time after locking up but wasn’t able to do so which is fine. Definitely hoping to go back soon!

Summary: Two primary AC areas did not work at first, but when I notified management they were repaired the next day. This rental had plenty of room for our extended family which is really three separate small families with each able to have their privacy areas yet all be together on the same property. We would come back.

Summary: I booked the Island Retreat for My brother's Family of 4; my family of 5; my other brother; and my parents. 12 people total. This location was perfect for us; everyone got enough room to sleep comfortably. The dock was perfect with the shade on one side; we did A LOT of fishing! There was a canoe and peddle boat on the dock waiting for us. We used them a lot as well. There are 2 other locations on the same lake; we could hear others at times, but nothing disruptive. The location was safe and remote, but not too remote where you wouldn't be able to get any last minute things for your stay. This made for such a great and memorable trip for my whole family.

Summary: There was note stating the room "may" be damp due to a leak. The room was SOAKED and completely unusable. - The home with the two bedrooms had a mouse in it. Mouse poop was in the kitchen cabinets so we chose to not use that area at all. - I wouldnt say the place was filthy, but it was not in any condition to believe someone came to clean the place prior to our arrival. There were ants, dust, and dirt everywhere. Overall, we were disappointed with the conditions of the home. I was hoping 1st Choice would be willing to provide a partial reimbursement but instead, they ignored my concerns entirely.

Summary: We had a nice time, however, it would have been nice to know ahead of time that there was only working air conditioning in 2 of the bedrooms. The 3 bedrooms in the main house did not have AC and the 2 above the garage the AC did not keep up so it was very hot. There was a window unit in the kitchen that worked but did very little for the bedrooms. I reached out to the manager who told me there were box fans for each room but when it's 80 degrees inside, those really do not help much. WIFI was unusable. There was quite a bit of trash under the deck unfortunately. Location was good and the lake was nice. The house has many half finished updates going on. Overall, all 12 of us were pretty disappointed in our stay but made the best of it anyway
