Listing very accurate. Very nice and clean. A lot of road noise though.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2024
On the whole, this is a great rental property. The management company is very responsive & professional.
Cleanest hot tub, ever.
Not entirely sure it really sleeps 10 people unless four of them are kids (it only parks 3 cars, after all), but this wasn't an issue for us.
One of only a couple critiques I'd have is this property is listed as having a pool table, ping pong & foosball. Because of how the basement is laid out, none of them are actually usable (except maybe by kids). There is way too much big furniture down there, so everything is too close to the walls to be used. I'd remove the pool/ping pong & set up the foosball so you can really use it & leave it at that.
The kitchen is great. Surprisingly well appointed as far as pots & pans.
This is now the latest in several rentals we have been in where the bowls & plates are not microwave safe & can only go on the top rack of a dishwasher (which they're always too big for anyway). I realize breakage is an issue & these plastics help with it, but it is super inconvenient to not be able to microwave left overs & wash everything by hand. Not the end of the world, but an odd trend we are noticing in rental properties.
On the whole, despite a week of rain & snow (in APRIL), we had a great time.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2023
The cabin was perfect for our family including our two toddlers and two teenage kids.
Plenty of games in the inside. The direct access to the lake was great. Very close to WISP mountain resort and all restaurants and grocery shopping in the area.
The kitchen was well equipped and the rooms fitted us perfectly as a family of 6.
The only thing I could complain about but it didn’t matter to us because we have a huttub at home…the hot tub was located under a roof of a detached garage. The temperatures were bellow 35 during our 5 days stay and it has been raining two out of the 5 days.
We haven’t used the hot tub because it wasn’t easily or conveniently accessible. The ground level concrete pad or the deck on the second house story would be a more appropriate location for the hot tub.
Other than that, great vacation home!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
We had a great family vacation in this cabin. The pool / ping pong table kept our teenage kids entertained and the private dock was by far our favorite feature.A few things about the property were disappointing. The upstairs living area is very crowded with furniture. A smaller dining table would open things up some, but we did have everything we needed. The rugs really need replaced, they are old and tripped us up often. The walkway to the dock is loose river rock...not a good choice for a steep path. Also, everything outside needs a good power-washing, especially the hot tub area. The new grass isn't established yet and the lower driveway is muddy as a result.Excellent location on the lake for boating. With a little attention, this could easily be 5 stars, but not sure I'd come back for the amount we paid.
