3 BR, 3 Bath - Lakeview - The Cedar House at Deer Haven - with dock!

We enjoyed our stay, quite and peaceful. Owners were there to answer our questions and help us when needed.

We loved this house and location. Owners live close by and helped us whenever we asked. Great place to bring your boat and use the owners dock. We will rent this house again for sure!!

The house was nicely furnished, the kitchen well stocked and the beds comfortable. All ages enjoyed the slide, diving board and swimming off the dock. Barbara was very attentive to our concerns and quick to respond to any questions. We greatly enjoyed our stay.

Our trip started off rocky first couple of days but ended well. We struggled at first one because we have stayed at several VRBO locations over the years and we have never had an issue with the kitchen not being stocked with what we need to be able to cook with. We had to go to Dollar General and get several kitchen utensils and pans just to cook what we bought as a menu. There is very little kitchen supplies only really odd and ends stuff, very scares as far as a kitchens being fulstocked this one has been the least. Also the air conditioner downstairs was broke and the temperature in the house was over 80. The upstairs bedrooms have a window units in them but in order to keep it cool enough we had to put towels under the door and keep them shut to allow them to cool off and there was no air at all in the upstairs bathroom so it got pretty hot in there. By our last full day the owner sent a repair guy for the air conditioner and he said that it should of been serviced a long time ago. He unfroze the line and added some Freon and cleaned it out and by the evening on our last night it was much cooler than before. When we arrived there was a charcoal that was dumped out with an empty bottle of fire starter on the deck by the grill and the front porch had pine needles all over it. In the kitchen countertops several pieces of tile was loose around the bar and ends. We traveled with my parents who are retired and we weren’t told how far the water was from the house until after we arrived. It was located up two very long hills and had no boat ramp to put our pontoon boat in and out. My mom made the walk only once because it was too hard on her to walk that distance especially with it being so hot inside and out. She had to stop and take 3 breaks along the way so unfortunately she didn’t get to come and enjoy the lake part with the rest of the family but only once. I struggled so I know it was much worse for her. Owner did respond to our questions but we had to leave a voicemail most of the time. The first day I ask her about the air conditioner and she called back and left me a voicemail on how to operate the thermostat. I know how a thermostat works but it was the air conditioning not working properly. We arrived on a Wednesday and left early Saturday morning. They sent the repair guy on Friday afternoon so the last evening was great. Great place to stay if you don’t mind the long walk to the water and you bring what cooking tools you need with you.
