Lake side fun
Overall this property was good. Check in and out was easy and communication with the property manager was great. One big downside was the amount of webs and spiders inside the residence and dead gnats on the countertops that had been accumulating over time. Some of the areas the webs are are extremely high. Not a huge deal, we cleaned what we could reach and still had a blast. We took our 21' pontoon boat and used the dock. The dock was serviceable for our needs but def could use some attention. Lake views were gorgeous. All in all we would stay here again!

We had a great Time and enjoyed the place on the water.
What caught my eyes was the fact that this place was right on the reservoir and we are able to use the dock as our own personal place to swim and enjoy ourselves. The property was well maintained and the owner was very pleasant to connect with back and forth. It was very quite there , no noise from other houses or people. We were within driving distance of all kinds of places. The internet speeds were very good. I have 3 kids and of course everyone was on the network and the speeds were excellent. I did bring my own Apple TVs with me as I have my own streaming sources I like to use while there was down time, but there was smart apps on the TVs. I will definitely be making reservations for next year. Thanks again.

Mouse in the house
We were all so grossed out we left as soon as we could. They need to consider having professional cleaners to ready this property for rental. Views were great, we just couldn’t see it through the veil of cobwebs and spiders. The bonus room reeked of mildew. Refrigerator was dirty. Had to buy a mouse trap and set it out, 3 am it sprang shut. Random people showed up on our dock and patio to fish and blast music. Outside vegetation is very overgrown. We had to use fans as there is no AC…owner did buy one new one and the other two were covered in grime. Linens were clean. The bathroom shower situation is very odd and tight. Lots of dusty clutter throughout the house. Not fun when you have to clean every day. We have two families that own property on the lake…they came to visit and were disgusted with what they saw as they knew what it looked like with the previous owner. Shameful.

Our stay was great. The house is very well equipped with anything that you would need. The house is right on the lake and has a charming rustic quality about it. Can’t wait to come back. My mother in law and husband spent many summer days on DeRuyter lake and now we have great memories of the lake too.
