Avis Spacious & Welcoming Home with Lake View, Private Hot Tub, & Wraparound Deck!

Broken couch, TV remotes don't even belong to the TV, so you have to download an app if you want to use it. The downstairs chair was dangerous and tips over if it's not against the wall. The kitchen and main floors were very sticky and had spilled sticky drinks left to dry. We had to wash floors before doing anything. They provided 3 washcloths - yes, three, when we had 11 people reserved. Only a few hand towels that we had to hunt for. One lamp was BROKEN and left laying on the bed table. The deck is NOT very safe from footings to handrails and step that's not attached to the house. Only the bottom electrical plugs work in the back bedrooms downstairs. Burned out bulbs in lamps and no spares. Floors behind bathroom doors filthy with hair, toothpicks, etc. Dirty towels thrown and left in bathroom cabinet downstairs. Only 2 stove burners worked. No kitchen washcloths provided. Oh, and the door was locked when we got there, but ALL the windows were UNlocked. Plusses- nice view, okay beds, large space, ovens both work, good parking.

The property was poorly maintained and many amenities were missing or broken.

Great home to relax at after being on the lake. Quiet location and good space to not feel crammed in.

Our stay was very enjoyable. There were issues with cleaning and maintenance, commented on by other reviews, but not nearly as bad as I feared reading them, which I'll detail below. There are 2 bedrooms on the top floor, 3 below. Several in our group commented on the great pillows and are buying their own! Beds were comfortable. The second bedroom on the top floor has a door, but the occupant has to go through the master bedroom to get to the main living area, or go through on the deck. All the amenities listed were available. Below are some comments about a few of them. There was no notebook as many of these types of properties have, that have instructions for items, give tips for an enjoyable stay, listings of places to visit etc. That was too bad. Hot tub (private): In winter it is under the deck so the view is not as good as in the pictures. Very nice, new and clean. A person came to clean it on our first day. (Would have been nice to know this was going to happen, but it is good it happened.) Internet: Very good, better than what I have at home. Central AC: We did not use air conditioning as we were there in winter. The heat was OK, but the bedrooms on the lower level were cool. There is a space heater on the lower level to help deal with that, but only helps for one bedroom. The thermostat requires a PhD to understand. Here are some pointers: You have to press "Done" after each entry. After you change the set temperature, press Done, and then note how long it will keep it at that temperature. If that is not to your liking, change it and press "Done." Wood-burning fireplace: We didn't see any wood around the house, so ask if you want it or bring you own. Fridge: Superior large fridge which looked brand new. Oven: Very nice double ovens. Stove: Old cooktop with downdraft fan. The fan knob was broken so we could not use the fan. It is the only ventilation fan in the kitchen. Water view: Absolutely fantastic, particularly upstairs. No views into any nearby homes. TV: A huge TV in the main room, one in the master bedroom, one in the "den" downstairs. All with Dish Network, which included some Seattle local stations. It was difficult to operate with no instructions. For the ones in the living room and the den, there was no remote for the TV itself, which meant that many functions like changing the "Source" if you want to see something other than on the Dish Network.

While the house was mostly clean, there were a couple cobwebs on the ceiling filled with gnats. Some of the furniture was not very stable so we had to be very very careful (wobbly tables, beds had building materials holding them up, dining chairs didn't have good seat webbing). All appliances worked well but the knob on the stove top fan was missing so we had to use a screwdriver to turn it on. The grill looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while so we didn't use it. The deck had some safety concerns but as long as you don't lean too hard on the rail you are good. Overall a good stay. Could've been better but we enjoyed our weekend.

We arrived at the property at 4pm to the cleaners still cleaning. They didn't finish until after 5pm. The previous tenants sheets were still going in the dryer. There was no handwash provided in any of the bathrooms. This is not the standard that should be experienced during Covid. The hot tub is downstairs not on the deck, it had dead frogs in it. Someone came unannounced at 7pm that night to treat it. The bbq was extremely dirty and had not been cleaned. The deck is much older than pictured. The wood is splitting and paint cracking. It does have 5 bedrooms. But only 1 of them is completely separate. The other 4 bedrooms are joined in groups of 2. Meaning you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other. This includes the master. One of the downstairs toilet flush was broken. Many of the lights in the house weren't working. Some of the bedside lamps didn't even have bulbs. Wifi worked well. Great view of the lake. This property needs maintenance.

This house has great space for family gatherings. The views of the Lake and mountains are amazing. A few of the beds we're not very comfortable and the dishwasher didn't work ☹️Other than that a great time was had by all.

Great views from the house. Privacy is nice and the dogs enjoyed the closed yard. The size of the house is great and it has a great communal area in the top floor. Also loved the hot tub. However, there were DEFINITELY negatives to be warned about: 1. The beds are horribly uncomfortable - especially the Master King bed, as another review stated. I would seriously bring an extra pad for these beds. We all slept terrible. 2. The dishwasher LEAKS. This is not posted as a warning anywhere - we found out by using it and finding a massive puddle. We waited for it to finish so we could dry up any more leaking before we left the house for the day. Hand washed everything from that point forward. Talk to Property Manager and "they are aware of the issue and the homeowner is going to replace it but is waiting until the end of the year". We didn't call them while we were at the house because it would have wasted more of our time waiting for them to fix it. 3. The upstairs toilet runs 24/7 and LOUD. We had to close the door to keep the noise at bay. Super wasteful of water also. 4. Bring extra paper towels - they don't provide enough, especially considering how many people the house holds. Lastly, I contacted Property Management about my issues to give them a chance to respond prior to this honest review, and he was less than "sympathetic to the problems", as he claimed and instead tried to validate every issue raised. He didnt even thank us for hanging around the house to avoid the floors being flooded / soaked for hours. Not impressed.

This is a GREAT property and we had a great time. Beautiful view with great hot tub. The house is large and can accomodate a large group or family. Quiet neighborhood by orchards, close to Manson WA. Kitchen is well equipped with good appliances. Had a couple of questions and manager was quick to respond. Wood burning fireplace is great with nic3e selection of games to play. TV was large with DISH service.
