Summary: We stayed here for my parents' joint 80th birthday party and spent most of our time at their house. The house was clean and sufficient for our needs.

Summary: Rooms were good sizes. Location to everything in town was good. Not the cleanest espesially the outdoor furniture. The inside was a little outdated. My main purpose of staying here was for the doc on the lake. I wanted it to be as convenient as possible for my ill father to fish right off the doc in the back yard. Well they never put the doc back in the water after the cold season. This was Father's day weekend and the doc was still set aside in the back yard. I message both VRBO and VACASA the minute we arrived. It took them 14 hours to respond with a generic email with basically a sorry for the inconvenience written back to me. The neighbors made themselves known the instant we arrived and were a little too close for comfort. Felt like we had no privacy. We left 24 hours early if that tells you anything.

Summary: The house interior was reasonably clean, if you don’t count the fridge and the floors. The exterior was covered in cobwebs. The patio table looked like it wasn’t cleaned this year. There’s no privacy as we would hear when our next door neighbor sneezed in his house. Also there’s a boat yard two lots away so at night there are bright lights that greatly reduce the enjoyment of the stars in the sky and in the day time there’s machines whirring quite a bit. When I was chatting with the help desk about a grill and fans on the property I was told that neither was there “because it’s not listed in the included amenities “. So we brought both of our own. I was frustrated to find a nice charcoal grill in the yard and fans throughout the house. My point is that if all the help desk does is read the listing then they’re not much help. I’d rate the entire experience about 3.5 out of 5.

Summary: Upon arrival if it hadn’t been for my husband being able to pick a lock we would still not be in the house! The lock box code we were give did not work! I attempted many times to call, email and text the property owner and they still have not responded to my requests. They are sending me automated robo texts and emails to rate my stay! The inside of the house was clean but the outside of the house was not! We had a great time when away from the property!

Summary: The location was perfect for our needs; on the lake, close to family and "town". The home itself was perfect for our family of 4. Plenty of room for us and then some. The kitchen supplies (utensils, cookware, etc.) were not optimal; hard to cook nightly meals without the proper cookware, but we made do. There were little to no instructions from the current property management company (found the former company's "Welcome" folder) on where anything is located, in the home or around the surrounding area(s), nothing informing us of trash day and where to find the bags necessary for putting the trash out (thank goodness for the neighbors). All in all we had a great time!
