Place was beautiful. A bit out dated and in need of some upgrades but it was clean and was very spacious for our family.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
The space itself was absolutely amazing, and the outdoor features really stood out. The pond was perfect for fishing, and the paddle boats were a fun and relaxing addition that we truly enjoyed. However, there were several noticeable maintenance issues that took away from the overall experience. There were holes in the walls, missing trim, and peeling ceilings that made parts of the home feel dated and neglected. The pool table baskets were broken, and the hot tub cover was falling apart. Although the lights were labeled, they were still very difficult to figure out. Unfortunately, the hot tub also had an unpleasant smell. With some basic upkeep and attention to detail, this place could truly be incredible.”

The pictures of the property on your site appears to be about 10 years old.O.ne bathroom looked like it was 100 years old. I have never encountered a house in such shape on VRBO. They have always looked lovelier than the pictures. The lake was green covered. Not happy at all with the place. Was surprised to see it on VRBO with your standards.
