Taylor made stay for the angler or water lover
Beautiful property on high rock Lake that was meticulously maintained and accommodating. Alfred made our stay over the top by his attentiveness and attention to our needs of any kind! The house was plenty ice and well equipped, and there was plenty of parking as well as additional parking offered. I would stay there again anytime and likely will book another weekend soon.

Exceptional Lake Cabin
Thoroughly enjoyed a peace filled week. Cabin had everything we needed. We spent most of our time out on the dock or grilling on the deck. Convenient location. Alfred was such a gracious host. We hope to return next year.

Great views. Good house. Great host. Good location.
We'd stay here again because of the lakefront views and the layout of the house. Plus it's only about 15 minutes away from interstate off-ramp fast food and grocery stores. The location also makes a great jumping-off point for exploring the area. We were impressed by the recently upgraded kitchen and bathroom. And the decking leading to the dock was a nice touch, too, with lots of places to sit (an outdoor dining table, two seats, two benches). We used the fire pit but not the grill, which also looked new. Speaking of the fire pit, the owner allowed us to raid his extensive wood pile, which was nice. TV and internet service were modern and quick, which we used and appreciated. Having three bedrooms is nice for families, though the biggest bed was a little hard and creaky. When we return, we might bring a foam mattress topper. The washing machine seen in the corner of one picture has been removed and the bunk beds are now unbunked in that space. So don't count on being able to do laundry (it wasn't a problem for us). Do pack light. While there's a small closet in 2 of 3 bedrooms and a chest of drawers in 2 of 3 bedrooms, the house also has removable over-the-door hooks on 3 of 4 doors (including the bathroom) to increase capacity. I'd ding maybe .25 or .50 of a star for a bunch of tangled fishing poles on the dock as well as a few cobwebs inside. (There were more cobwebs outside, but it's a lake house surrounded by trees: Spiders come with the territory.) Since I can't give fractions on VRBO, I gave cleanliness a full 5 stars. Little things, like the blinds on the windows or the range of utensils in the kitchen, were modern and in good working order. Specific to us: We traveled with a toddler, who thankfully couldn't quite open the bedroom doors that we kept closed. We also blocked the tot from entering the kitchen and supervised all time outdoors. The hallway, however, made for a great runway. This property isn't marketed as being specifically tailored for young children, so none of this is a problem; just something to note. Any couples, or families with slightly older kids, will find this house enjoyable, too. All of our expectations were met. All of our needs were met. Thanks for a great stay!

Dangerous Health Situation - Not sure how this ever got approved for VRBO
I have used VRBO several times, and have always been satisfied with the description being accurate for what we expected. However, this place had some issues that were just blatantly ignored by the owner. When you walked in you could tell the floors had not been swept much less cleaned. The living room furniture was old and like sitting on the floor. The blinds and window sills were noticeably dust covered. There was dust under the beds so no one had cleaned under the beds in a while. I don't think the owner uses a cleaning service but a thorough cleaning is definitely needed. There is a definitely a dangerous situation in the bedroom with twin beds. When were looking for a broom, we looked in that closet and that's where we found a possible health hazard situation. That closet had the hot water heater in it with a five gallon bucket attached. That bucket had dirty water in it and you could smell the mildew. We were scared that the air conditioner "on the floor" was full of mold too. And, on the wall beside one of the twin beds were "literally" two outdoor covers that you might see on faucets in the winter - just hanging on some types of pipes. This whole room was scary so we just closed the door and used the other rooms. But, the closet in the second bedroom smelled so bad and had a ton of junk in it so that closet was not useable. The third bedroom did not have a closet at all. The outside was okay - it could have used a good pressure cleaning. But the view from the living room and outside deck was of a house next door that the roof had fallen in on (obviously some time back) so that was really a "nice view". Parking - Our yard area where we parked had an SUV and a boat already parked in it so we had to squeeze in our two vehicles. I would be very leery of renting this house. There are obviously issues that the owner needs to address. Someone with breathing problems - this would be a very dangerous place for them to stay. Unfortunately, we had to tough it out, but never again. If we had to stay more than two nights, I would have abandoned this place and spent even more money to get a hotel room. Please don't put yourself in this same situation. Kind of scared me for using VRBO again.

Great dockside house!
Nice little house right on the lake! The kitchen and bathroom were beautifully redone. We only used the owner bedroom, but the bed in there was very comfortable. The dock was amazing! We had some friends staying at Alfred's other house just up the road, and it was a super convenient walk. Alfred was very nice and easy to get ahold of if we had questions, but in no way intrusive (the perfect host!). I would note that the AC is not central, so when the temps got really high in the afternoon, the living room humidity got pretty high (though we didn't bother to set the unit lower than 74 as we spent more time out on the water and didn't feel the need to waste the electricity). Overall, a great spot! If we decide to visit High Rock Lake again, we'll try to book with Alfred for sure.

The property was right on the water exactly what we were looking for
After searching for several weeks myself and 3 buddies decided to rent this bungalow and from the time we got there until the time we left it was an amazing trip. Alfred was a pleasure to deal with. We came down for a fishing trip and even though the fishing wasn't very good the whole experience was amazing and we would absolutely return here again I would highly recommend this property to anyone

Very Peaceful Setting On High Rock Lake- 03/08/18
Very relaxing, peaceful retreat on High Rock Lake. The house is very comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped and there is ample seating at the kitchen island, along with a dining table which has excellent views of the lake. The hall bathroom has been updated and has a very large walk in ceramic/tile shower and a large counter with two sinks. All new and updated wood decking both around the house and leading down to the floating dock. Very nicely maintained front and back property. The house is located at the end of the road, so there are no neighbors to your left (if standing on the back deck looking at the lake), which provides a very private setting with lots of trees. Ample parking in the front and side of the house where the road ends. The owners were wonderful to work with, very accommodating and responsive to messages, helped me feel right at home during my stay. Would definitely recommend this property for your lake getaway and hope to be able return again for the warmer weather and really take advantage of the outdoor, backyard/lakefront space. Thank you again!

Beautiful tranquility
We stayed here to be close enough to ride in the Tour de Pig:) While the ride was fun, hanging out on the dock afterwards was the highlight. Tons of birdlife, quiet and the perfect place to relax from city life. The bungalow is cute and comfortable and had everything we needed...hope to return soon with the family, so that husband and boys can do some fishing.

Clean, comfortable home with a beautiful view
We enjoyed our Labor Day stay in this quaint home with a gorgeous lake view. This home has been completely remodeled with all new tile in the kitchen and bathroom. The tile makes walking in from time spent on the lake a cleaner experience.(Take your shoes off at the door ;) The hosts are kind and accommodating. Our friends rented a property from the same hosts right down the street within walking distance. It was convenient to be close to them. The location is easy to access from Highway 85.
