Overall, a fun stay
Overall, our stay was wonderful as the house was in a great location and was a great size for a large group of people. The outdoor accommodations were also perfect for a sunrise coffee and a sundown fire. We were a bit put off by how unkept the house was. We spent a lot of time cleaning the wrap around deck and outdoor so e as it was covered in debris, leaves, and cobwebs. Additionally, the inside was only cleaned in obvious areas. The floors were covered in dust and food crumbs, the furniture was dirty, and the refrigerator was pretty gross. A cleaning fee is charged so I’m not sure why we would have to spend any time cleaning up, but it was just too dirty to ignore. This property has great potential but it requires a lot more love and care.

Fridge was broken
Overall the property was wonderful aside from the seal on the fridge door being broken before we checked in. I called and messaged the owner about the issue with concerns of keeping our food cold (we had a lot of food) and haven’t heard back at all. It was hard to keep the fridge cold and we had to go out of our way to get ice and kept some food in the coolers. If something goes wrong during your stay, it may be hard to get a hold of the property owner in my experience. Other than these minor issues, our stay was good.

Great lakehouse on Lake Centralia
The O'Brist lakehouse was a great place to spend Father's Day weekend with family. Clean, well-appointed, nice patio and deck overlooking the lake and a beautiful sunset. Would definitely recommend.

Not as advertised
We had lived in this area for most of our lives and know many of the residents on the lake. Only my sister's family and mine stayed there (8 people) but this rental was specifically for my mother's 80th birthday party which i discussed in detail with the property manager the week before we arrived to ensure everything would go smoothly. I was told no problem and there was plenty of space for parking The property was promoted as "Weddings and reunions are welcome." and "the listing can accommodate a gathering of 25 or more attendees." We checked in and really like the cabin even with construction materials surrounding the place. We were aware they were working on the dock and that it would not be available but we did not know there would be ongoing work while we were there. We woke up to a noisy backhoe moving dirt back and forth right outside. That went on for over an hour. We had my mom's party mid afternoon on Saturday. There was probably 30-40 people attending, older adults and a few grandchildren, and we had acoustic musicians playing. Right in the middle of the event up storms the owner who i thought had stopped to check in on us to make sure everything was good, as has been my experience with past VRBO rentals. Instead he was very agitated and in front of everyone he asked me to step aside because he didnt want to embarrass me. He proceeded to complain about the cars out front. And said we had not rented that part. (It was a parking lot right in front of the cabin that goes with a lodge he owns that is not occupied and is also under construction) He also said the neighbors drive was blocked but my brother checked with her that morning while she was mowing and she said they would not be there the rest of the weekend so there was no problem. Even after telling him all this he was still rude and said he was going to change his ad and "will not do this again." He has no worries from us because i will never do business with him again either. He was seen taking pictures of the cars. This could have been beautiful but this part was so disappointing. We did finish our stay one more day and left the place just like we found it as we always do.

The LakeHouse
It was a wonderful short vacation weekend away. It wasn’t as secluded and private as you would expect from the pictures but we still had the privacy we wanted to enjoy each other’s company. Would love to come again!

Great place for a retreat for small office
Loved our stay! Plenty of room for staff to relax, rest and enjoy. We had a Qigong teacher come for part of the time. Beautiful setting for Qigong on the lawn by the lake. After a stressful, difficult year, this group of folks deserved such a treat. Thank you!

Good despite a few things
The house is beautiful, the lake is awesome. Beds were very comfortable, slept like a baby. A very romantic getaway. We did run out of propane the first morning, and were shocked with ice cold showers. However, the owner had the delivery man show up within a few hours. The house did not seem thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival (dust, cobwebs, yard debris). The "spa" shower heads were so calcified, water just sprinkled instead of sprayed.. The house also is next to a trailer, with outside dogs who barked constantly, which was a nuisance, but we still were able to sleep and enjoy our short and much needed getaway. Highly recommend, despite few issues.
