We really enjoy coming here — this is our second time this year. I will say the place could use a good deep clean (carpets cleaned & shower curtains replaced etc.) and some basic wear-and-tear fixes. The garage didn’t seem to have been cleaned in a while; I ended up wiping down all the surfaces, including the ping pong table, because it clearly hadn’t been cleaned. I didn’t mind doing it, but I know other guests probably wouldn’t appreciate that.We made Thanksgiving dinner during our stay, and the main issue we had was with the ovens. Two out of the three really need to be replaced. Other than that, we LOVE coming here. My family had a great time with all the games and especially the ping pong!

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.
