Avis Lakefront log cabin on 3.5 acres with dock, gazebo & sunset views - dog-friendly

GREAT ROOM PLACE TO GET AWAY FROM LIFE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE

This home is “mostly” as advertised. The interior is very accurate. The home is comfortable and spacious. We did not utilize the basement at all but it is a great space if you have kids or a large group. The downstairs shower was out of order. I bring my own kitchen utensils (tongs, spatula’s, knives etc.-including two non stick frying pans), so we didn’t use much of the kitchen gear but it was well appointed. The fridge/freezer is very adequate with in door water/ice. We had a terrific storm during our stay and the power went off-for about five seconds! The whole house generator kicked on and saved us from sitting in the dark. The reason this review is not all 5 stars is because the outside deck needs some TLC. Portions of the deck-which has a great view-are rotting. Two “makeshift” repairs have been made on the deck which are elevated above the deck grade and frankly, they are unsafe. I hope they are meant as temporary fixes. In addition, the outside furniture around the dining table is pretty unusable. The mesh fabric of these chairs is deteriorating-two of the chairs are rotted/ripped through. We rented a pontoon for five days and the electric lift down to/up from the water was extremely useful. I walked down/up twice-after that I took the tram! We really like this house, in fact I would consider renting this again for 4 or 5 weeks straight. But, I do believe the owners need to pop by and check in on things a bit more.

The location is beautiful. Our family enjoyed the lake front, the kayaks, the fire pit and the beautiful view. The fishing from the pier and a rented boat was great. The house and grounds could use some attention. Some issues that need to be addressed: - There are several TVs in the home but few could be used without knowing how to access . - The dishwasher did not clean dishes. We hand washed dishes for 10 people 5 out of the 7 days. We do appreciate that we have been offered compensation for this (though not yet received). - The refrigerator/freezer did not work properly, though it was replaced the day before we left and we did receive compensation for this. - Wifi and internet access was inconsistent. - The garbage can outside was ½ full when we arrived. Because there was no information about when to put the garbage can to the street, we missed garbage day and therefore, we filled it to the top to overflowing. Therefore, critters got into the garbage. - The house and grounds overall could use some serious attention.

Property had everything we needed including a paddleboat an kayaks.

We came for a family snowmobile week with our 3 children, spouses and 2 grandchildren. Everyone had their own space and bathroom. Unfortunately, there was no snow this year, but we still had a great time relaxing and going to towns in the area for plenty of actives. The house was very large, and everyone had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy being together. the house is better than described. Would definitely rent again.

It turned out great. Had most of family there Rented pontoon from black bear. It was a very good time and the people we rented from were great

We enjoyed our family trip in this cozy yet spacious cabin. There were many points of interest around the property (fire pit, dock, screened porch, hammock, deck). Inside the furnishings were excellent with a very large kitchen.
