Brandt Vacation Rentals

"Wonderful stay! Nice and quiet room."

"The home is old, and while this isnt necessarily bad, in this case it works against the property. Some minor updates have been made to improve the guest experience, but more should be considered. Pros include newer appliances in the kitchen, a Roku TV and wi-fi, seating for six in the living room, laminate flooring in the kitchen, and good central heating and water heater. The cons include: 1. an unpleasant smell throughout the home that is common in older houses, 2. a worn out and damaged screen on the exterior door off the kitchen, 3. peeling faux marble covering on the kitchen counter, kitchen knives and cooking utensils that are in need of replacement, stained and dingy kitchen towels and dish cloths, 4. several burned out and missing light bulbs in light fixtures, 5. a broken drain stopper in the bathroom sink that makes the sink unusable. Addressing these issues could improve the guest experience quite a bit. I would also recommend adding bedside tables and lamps in the main floor bedrooms, adding a headboard to the queen-size bed on the main floor, providing a real dining table and chairs instead of the tiny foldable plastic table that is currently there, and replacing the toilet seat in the upstairs bathroom with one that matches the size of the bowl. The entire basement comes straight out of a horror film. Nothing short of a complete remodeling w/lighting upgrade would make this area even remotely usable."

"Great hosts!! Fantastic place."

"New management and trying to improve things, definitely on the upswing."

"Fun girls weekend. Thank you."

"Our family was in town for a wedding and a SDSU College visit. We were very happy with the location. We could relax and unwind very comfortably at the cabin. Very clean, plenty of space, and it has all the necessary items. The cabin is decorated to give you that "Cabin/Lake" feel. Super cute!!! The host was fantastic to work with. He answered all my questions in a timely matter. We very much appreciated that. We will definitely be back."

"Clean, comfortable, great view of the lake. Nice fire pit area. Easy drive to get additional supplies or go out to eat. Would definitely stay again. We thoroughly enjoyed it!"

"Perfect for a girls trip, enough room, things to do at the home & great communication :)"

"This Lake Poinsett lakefront property was exactly as described. We appreciated that the kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed for meal prep. The bed was comfortable, loved the fluffy towels, and everything inside the home was clean. The lake service came and raised the dock while we were there which was great otherwise we had to wade through a few feet of water to get on the dock due to all the rain they've received. The owners were kind enough to offer early check-in and said we could stay past checkout on Sunday. Wish we could've taken advantage of that but had to get back to reality. The beautiful weather made our weekend even better. Unfortunately the fish must've left for the weekend as we didn't catch a thing! We enjoyed golfing at a couple of the local courses. This property is nothing fancy but if your looking for a reasonably priced stay on Lake Poinsett with all the basic necessities I would highly recommend it."
