We have rented a handful of VRBOs & want to provide an honest review for future renters, as we often rely on reviews. In July 2024, 17 of us stayed here with 2 boats & a few other water toys. The home is on Eagle Lake, part of the Eagle River chain, allowing access to various lakes & restaurants via boat. The dock area, with a sandy bottom and shallow water, was great for floating and swimming, with shade at waters edge.
Guy & Brian, the property managers, were very responsive & helpful. There's a smaller home on the same property, but we never felt like we were intruding. The walk to the water could be challenging for those with mobility issues.
The home was advertised to sleep 15-17 but we found it better for 12-14, with air mattresses needed for additional guests. The bed layouts have changed since the listing photos, & the lower-level "king bedroom" lacks privacy as it is essentially a converted living. The 3-seasons room had a futon & space for an air mattress, but the air conditioning struggled to keep it cool & there was a musty smell overall.
The kitchen was well stocked, though the oven didn't work upon arrival & it needed cleaning. Brian quickly addressed the issue & Guy let us use his oven next door. There were ample supplies & towels to start the week, & the provided laundry soap was helpful.
Overall, this home was in a perfect location for our water-loving, boat-owning family. With a good deep clean & a few adjustments, it could be an executive rental.
