Cozy small cabin did the trick for us. Lake is beautiful, the hot tub was a pleasant bonus and we had a surprise visitor in the night- a small bear. I’m pretty excited about that

Was able to rent two properties for a family get together. Very comfortable and clean. Nice touch with all the amenities they offer. Location by the water was serene, especially in the morning sitting outside with coffee. Parking places well marked. Management responded to questions quickly.

Dirty, rooms are boiling hot even w/ceiling fan & floor fan, heavy shower curtain rod unknowingly loose feel down on legs & feet, shower floor loose rocks severely not attended to or fixed, big piece of broken glass bottles around fire pit, stove does not work (only burners) kitchen floor has crack & bubbling prob full of mold, unsealed on side recluse spiders we had to kill severely poisonous. Hot tub broken even though I asked before I booked if working! Up all night dealing w/issues. Beautiful lake but if they are going to charge this amount fix your property. Dumpster next to property smelled so bad like we were next to a landfill. Internet is shotty took multiple attempts to even watch TV for a half hour. Couch is old has stains. Had to clean before moving stuff in.
