We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful waterfront home! The views were stunning, and there was plenty of space for everyone. It was the perfect spot to spend a week with family and friends—swimming, fishing, barbecuing, and stargazing. While we did experience a few plumbing issues due to the age of the house, the Vacasa team was prompt and efficient in resolving them. We’d happily recommend this place to friends!

This house has a wonderful location, ample shaded outdoor space, beautiful dock with comfy chairs and big umbrellas. Great views from the decks and two BBQs. It's well equipped with tons of cookware, games, books, extra linens! We had a great time.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
Even though the location on the lake was very good, the home has not seen any repairs in many years. Rolling out the awning above the dining room windows to shade from the early day sun (after figuring out it was not plugged in to the outlet), we found a very tattered fabric all the width !! Also had to sweep the deck, that looked as if it had not been cleaned in a very long time, and found many roofing nails, looks like the roof is in need of repair. In the dining room, the best view in the home, found that two the window blinds were taped or wired so as not to work! In a cabinet next to the kitchen exhaust fan, found an electrical box uncovered with wires exposed, a safety hazard. Also in the kitchen area there is a missing knob for the on off of the exhaust fan, along with other cabinets missing knob and drawers not operating properly. Even two of the bedrooms were up on the mail level and two were on the lower level only accessed by going outside! The two lower bedrooms were connected to each other along with a bathroom. Getting to the lake is quite the billy goat hike, down two sets of stairs, around the back and down a gravel path the dock, were there is a great dining area, with table and chairs, and a new umbrella, if you can lug all your stuff there!! Overall, for a short three night, four day stay and you are willing to accept all this, it's a great location. Would NOT Recommend for a family with lots of kids, too had to navigate for a long period.
