Fantastic cabin on the water. Very quiet and close to everything. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make meals there. Furniture could use an upgrade but was ok. We will be back.

The home was as pictured, mainly. It was clean, with the exception of cabinets and dishes. There isn't a dishwasher. With that said dishes, like cookware and other kitchen tools were kind of gross. I washed everthing before I used it. Most of the cookware shuld be replaced. One pot, a red pot with strainer top, all rusted on the inside and unuseable. The cabinets really need to be gone through and cleaned, organized and crap tossed out.As for the house: unable to turn on the gas fireplace, the recliner is broken. So, when you recline it slowly closes. The furniture is well worn. If it were in my home, I would replace it. I should have read closer about. Not having washer and dryer. They leave you laundry soap and dishwasher soap, but those things are not there.Also, there is a large dog just outside the sliding door. Her name is Daisy. She barks at you everysingle time you exit. Also, two barking dogs two doors down. All of this said, the lake is great for a paddle, the home has room to sleep so many people. The home looks exactly as pictured. The beds are comfortable, the water pressure is good, pleanty of towels, soaps and blow dryers. The home is situated near the trailhead for biking. So we did find that attractive.

Excellent Stay

We were in town for the WCSD. Our stay at this location was perfect. Quite, and probably the best stocked kitchen we have stayed at in a VRBO. We will be back next year.

Good, but could be better

Property as advertised. Fishing from dock was good. Caught large mouth bass from dock. Exterior amenities could be improved. Stairs from parking to cabin need to be improved. Handrails were not secure. Lakeside needs a deck for outdoor living. Path to lake was quite treacherous. Interior needs simple maintenance. Upstairs bathroom sink drains very slowly. Lights over the stove were burned out. Dishes were grimy. Kitchen really could use a dishwasher.. Beds were plentiful but worn. Could use new mattresses.
