Great Fishing Trip with my Son

The rental was clean and had everything that we needed. While it wasn’t right on a lake it was within 45 minutes of many different lakes. Big Star was just a few minutes away. We fished a different one each day and caught nice ones at each lake. The owners were very responsive to needs and questions. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. We were happy with the rental!

Beautiful home with plenty of room, spacious kitchen and screened in patio for hanging out. 5 star rating, only thing to note was the noise level from the loft beds to the lower floor as it is an open space you could hear the upstairs movement late at night but it would not stop us from renting again. Fire pit and bbq grill in very nice shape. the hot tub was very clean and operable. Plenty of towels, dishwasher and washer/dryer if you have extended stay.

Birthday getaway

The house was adorable and very clean loved the pellet stove and hot tub. One thing that was a bummer was there was no toilet paper and paper towel as well. We literally were not there except to sleep and ran out as the role of each was at its endWe had to take down one of the alarms as it was beeping all night until my husband figured out which one to take down.

Family & friends fishing fun

The Chateau was very clean and nicely decorated. A warm comfortable home invited us all in to relax. The fishing was difficult but the time spent at the cottage was relaxing and stress free. The hosts had a nice book out with all the instructions and attractions, as well as a nice bottle of wine.

We come yearly, my best friend and I. We started staying exclusively at this property last year because it checks EVERY box for us. Close to town yet semi secluded. Hot tub, beautiful view of big bucks and herring, close trout fishing. Love it!

Great cottage!

We have no complaints. Spotlessly clean, comfy beds, plenty of space indoors. We made use of the fire pit every night. Loved the hot tub! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and the 20 or so turkeys running through the yard from the swing. The lake is a 5 minute walk. There is access to launch your kayaks, but not a lot of space to sit in the sand. It was a joy to stay here!

Week of rest and relaxation

Cottage was super cute. Very clean and cozy. We were a little disappointed that the wet land in the back was dried up but it was still a very peaceful view. Enjoyed the hot tub however do wish it had a little bit more privacy from neighbors, fortunately they were not home during our stay. Over all we had a nice relaxing time.

HEALTH HAZARD!! Contracted bacterical infection from hot tub

This was hands down the worst vacation rental experience I have ever had in my life. Myself and a companion stayed for two nights; from Friday to Sunday, at the property. During our stay we both began feeling ill, and hours upon our return Sunday evening we broke out in full body rashes along with experiencing vomitting and diarrhea. I immediately called my doctor on Monday and was seen Tuesday. I was diagnosed with the condition "Pseudomonas Folliculitis," caused from the bacteria Pseudomonas Aeruginosa growing in the hot tub due to lack or proper cleaning and maintenance. My doctor told me I needed to let the property owners know so they could drain and properly clean the hot tub. I reached out to the property owners and VRBO to let them know of the bacterial infection I contracted from their property. I sent proof and picutres including the horrible rash on my body, test results and after visit summary from my doctor showing the bacterial infection along with prescription information I had to take in order to treat the condition. The property owners have been unwilling to communicate, or to issue a full refund. I have been waiting a month now to hear back from them. I am mortified and apalled how the property hosts have treated me and handled this situation, especially considering the proof and records I provided detailing this absolutely horrific experience. I have permanent scarring all over my body from this nightmare experience. I would give zero stars if I could.
