Excellent conditions. Great communication. No issues whatsoever.

Communication with host was timely. The hot tub was the star of our winter stay!
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
The house was good but it needs a card table & chairs to accommodate more people to eat at a table. Also, we could not find trash bags big enough for the trash can in the kitchen. The porch light went out on 2nd evening & being that it gets dark at 5 pm, that wasn't good. Could not find a replacement bulb. Overall the accommodations were good & would recommend to others.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Property was just as it was described minus the damage to the air hockey table. The table had a hold in the table close to one end goal area. The hole caused an escape of air that made the game next to impossible to play. This was the only game in the unit, and one of the deciding factors in selecting this unit. The damage should have been disclosed to me before I rented the unit. Had I known the damage, I would have chosen a different unit. For this reason, the management company gets a very low rating for their lack of oversight and reporting to people renting the unit. The rest of the unit was fine. Hot tub worked well, bedrooms were comfortable, and kitchen was well stocked.
