Spectacular lake view!

Cathleen provided the perfect escape for my family of 4 + fur baby. The house was well stocked and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the huge back porch and yard. The dock was great for fishing and provided my son the opportunity to catch a very large bass. We would love to come back here again!

The property location was ideal. Beautiful spot. Although the host was very nice, she stayed on the property. In addition, there are no window treatments for privacy. We prefer to not have the host remain on the property and would not consider renting again because of this.

I did not stay at this property due to safety and disclosure concerns identified before check‑in.Prior to arrival, I learned that the home is the host’s primary residence, that the host’s personal belongings remain in the home, and that the host lives in a separate unit on the property during guest stays. This information was not clearly disclosed in the listing.When I contacted the host to discuss these issues, the host became confrontational, assaulted my character, and hung up on me. Because the host lives on the property, this raised a safety concern for me and my family.I contacted Vrbo before check‑in, but the issue was not resolved. I did not check in, did not use the property, and secured alternate lodging.

Eclectic Experience

Property & Location are outstanding. Host/Owner resides in apt above garage when when rented which made for some awkward moments. Based on previous reviews, we knew what to expect. Very limited closet space & parking. We also were familiar w/location of property as we lived in area for 30+ yrs. We likened our stay as if we were staying in "Aunt Harriet's house". Overall, very enjoyable experience. Thank you Cathleen & Mac.

Beautiful View of the Lake

Charming old cottage but a strange stay. The owners lived on premise and left all of their possessions in the rental. There was no dresser in the bedroom, closets filled with their clothes, all drawers and cabinets filled with their things. No room to unpack clothing, no kitchen shelf space for groceries. Hoarders with lots of old, old stuff.

Nice property but bad experience

Great property right on the lake, but there’s no fence between the yard and the lake, so not exactly child or dog friendly. Property was undergoing construction while we stayed there, so it was very loud with lots of people coming through, so no privacy for our small kids and had our dogs on edge. Owner was on site in the apartment above the garage. She was helpful and tried to make our stay better, but if we knew it was under construction we would have never stayed here.

Relaxation with Family

Picture yourself swinging on a hammock between 2 trees as the breeze blows across the calm lake some 20 feet away. You look up to see 4 or 5 eagles flying above you hoping to catch some fish. You can hear the boats as they go by and the quiet movement of the paddle-boarders. It's a great place to just relax for a bit. After all, you are there with your 3 lovely grandchildren...and while you are having great fun with them playing ping pong, cornhole and several games...you suddenly realize you're not as young as you used to be...and you need a rest. Cathleen's home sleeps 6 comfortably with a master that is separate and on the main level. It has a wonderful covered sitting porch that is very inviting. Yes, there are some spider webs...and they, gratefully, keep the mosquito population down. We are on a lake, after all. There are plenty of games to keep the children busy and many books for the adults and children to enjoy. The kitchen is large enough for 2 or 3 of us to cook in so we were able to enjoy many home cooked meals together. This home is everything we hoped it would be! Thanks for a lovely stay!

Loads of character and potential.

Nicely appointed older home on the southwest portion of the lake. Pros: unbeatable lake view, backyard hammock, fireplace, comfy beds, loads of character, cable TV, Uber Eats delivers. Cons: spiders and spider webs both inside and out, somewhat neglected and dirty- couldn't use patio table because it was covered in dirt and spider webs, no house guide or instructions (besides wifi password), lack of privacy (insufficient window coverings throughout), another person staying on the property (not disclosed at booking), train noise in the middle of the night. Despite a few setbacks and my irrational fear of spiders, this was a good property to spend a week. With a little cleaning and pest control this home could be great. In my opinion, any other people staying on the property should be disclosed. Someone was staying in a studio above the detached garage (they were quiet as a mouse, though). Owner was responsive to questions. A house guide would be hugely beneficial: we didn't know how to utilize the three separate trash/recycling bins; we didn't know if we could use the wood for the fireplace; and parking in front of the house was a little awkward.

Never stay here again!

Although the location was nice the property was not. The owner told me that the lake was not drained near the house, but it was. The dock in the online picture shows a white gate but in reality, there is no gate. So, if a child was out there unattended, they could potentially fall off the dock down about 10 ft to rocks or if the water was at level drown. The boat house has a deck on top, but the railings were falling over and there was a hold in the roof. Not safe to go up on. The master bedrooms closet was packed with owner's stuff leaving very little space for our things. The upstairs rooms were poorly heated. The refrigerator and freezer were clean out for our food but there were no cabinets in the kitchen for our dry foods. One cabinet has an open bag of potato chips and crackers. Overall, it was as if you went to a complete stranger's home, and they just left for a weekend leaving everything they own as is and you had to jockey around their stuff. Did not feel like a "Vacation Rental." My big concern was would the owner come back and accuse us of doing something because EVERYTHING THEY OWN was accessible to us. It was nice they allowed pets, but I would never stay here again.

One of the best vacations we have had to date! The pictures do not do this property justice, this quaint, cozy warm home on the lake was absolutely perfect for our family and dog for our weeklong stay. We have family in the area and stay here annually. This was the first year we decided to get a rental on the lake. Best decision we have made! The area of Lake Oswego is absolutely amazing and this home was a perfect fit. We enjoyed kayaking, reading on the dock, sunbathing and swimming. The hosts were absolutely incredible and so hospitable! Throughout our weeklong stay, they checked in on us via text, letting us know where extra amenities- like the paddle boards and fold out tables to entertain our family- were. I cannot speak more highly of this listing! We cannot wait to return and hope to make this an annual trip! The worst part about our stay was having to leave! 10/10 must stay!

Classic Lakeside Bungalow

The location was perfect for our needs. Plenty of room for the four of us. Loved being on the lake and having fires in the outdoor fireplace on chilly evenings. We had everything we needed for the week, but would have appreciated some drawers, closet space and clearer house instructions, such as what was expected of us on departure. The interior was clean and the bungalow has retained it's charm, but the photos of the exterior were taken some time ago and should be updated. I would not recommend for children as there are many knickknacks and personal items throughout the house.

Beautiful setting, great value

If you are looking for a hotel-like experience, this isn't the place for you. But if you want to eat breakfast on a deck overlooking a beautiful lake with $5 million+ homes, have a 75 foot long dock from which you can launch paddle boards, and make S'mores in an outdoor fireplace, this might be it. The house is almost 100 years old, lodge-style, clearly built as a weekender for an affluent Portland family in the Roaring '20s. It has been upgraded to an extent, but it has the feel and charm (and some of the issues) of its age. But it has everything you need and then some. It's right on the lake, so expect to brush away some spider webs and some debris from the 125' douglas Firs. We stayed for a full week. Cathleen is a dear, and was very communicative. Yes, I'd stay there again.

Cozy lakefront retreat with great proximity to city

My wife and I had a terrific time exploring Portland and the PNW with this as our home base. Lake Oswego is lovely, there are plenty of restaurants, and great proximity to the city. Right off the bat, know that this is a home and not a rental, the house is well lived in and the owner's things are in all the cabinets and closets so if you're there for an extended period of time, you won't have much space for your stuff. I think the spider presence is a little understated in the description and reviews, but when we asked something to be done about it, someone did come and clean which was much appreciated and made a huge difference. The dryer also will randomly stop drying because it thinks the lint trap is disconnected. Mostly just minor stuff, but overall it was a great stay.

Home not commensurate with other homes on the lake

Not well maintained home. Yard covered in geese faeces issue with my dog. Left property after 3 nights. Had paid for 14. Homeowner unwilling to acknowledge problem and did not refund me. Many issues, unstable floorboards in bedroom,- covered with cardboard, mold in bathroom, deck covered in geese excrement/potential hoarding/fire hazard, washer/dryer in a cellar with precarious steps down. Marketing a lake home in a very good area but property is completely misrepresented and owner is only interested in income. Very unfriendly and resides in second unit on property when renting the other space. Yard had probably not been maintained entire winter. Will never use VRBO again!!!
