Beautiful house…..but….
Posted Oct. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayBeautiful house with lots of amenities and a great view. The house needs some maintenance done. Towel bars loose, wall/ceiling damage, and the LVP floors are in terrible shape with sharp broken edges in dozens of places. The steep driveway is terrible. I tried various approach angles and every time my front air dam scraped on entry and exited, on a AWDSUV.

FULL of BUGS - Never stay here!!!
Posted Sep. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayThe house is infested with bugs. It is disgusting to see. Dead and live bugs all over the floor in all the rooms. Thousands of black flies in the great room on the ceiling. Owner moved us to a different smaller property but would NOT answer any texts about issues at the smaller property. Very disappointed.

Beautiful spacious home
Posted Aug. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayThe house was the perfect size for what we needed. The bathrooms and bedrooms were the only clean part of the home. The living room and kitchen were extremely dirty. We bought cleaning supplies and wiped down walls and ledges. The drawers and cupboards were full of crumbs and stuff was just thrown in them. We had to clean out a drawer to keep our utensils and items we brought because we did not want to use any of the items there. The Keuring was full of grime. The ice maker had black mold in the back. We were told it didn’t work. Someone turned it on and it worked fine minus all of the black mold growing in it. We were not a fan of the doorbells notifying us we were being recorded every time we walked out front or out back. Had to use a leaf blower to clean off patio and steps. Absolutely filthy. There were juice pouches on ground. A tipped over garbage in the egress window. The garage was a mess. Garbage on ground. Shoes, junk everywhere. It’s a shame. The house is gorgeous. Need some new cleaners or need to check on the property once in awhile. Definitely not worth the money spent per night.

Perfect family vacation!
Posted Aug. 6, 2023 on HomeAwayWe came to Minnesota from Texas to visit extended family. This was the perfect space for eight adults and two children. It is a beautiful home with lots of room with an ideal location on the lake. We rented a boat and JetSki, which was great to keep at the dock for a few days.
I had some concerns that I expressed before our visit, and the owner was very responsive. Not only did they purchase extra kitchen supplies for us, but they even reimbursed us for items that we purchased and left behind.
We were expecting the dock to be in bad shape, based on some reviews, but it was not a problem at all. It’s very safe. We enjoyed the fire pit, the grill, corn hole and all amenities. We did have a hard time cooling the upstairs off. Downstairs was fine. The only other thing was the metal bunkbeds. They are definitely made for children, not adults. The adults that slept on them had a hard time because they made so much noise every time someone turned over.
Overall, it was a fantastic getaway. We would definitely come again!

Relaxing
Posted Jul. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayThe home was beautiful and big for our family gathering. We were a not aware of the shoreline not easy access for the children. The kitchen was very big for but was not equipped with just the basic utensils, and pots and pans as my family likes to cook meals.

Hi Susan-
We appreciate your informative feedback. Our cleaners just discovered all but one spoon was missing from the drawer. This explains your review but we've ordered more.
Now we'll have to review with our prior guests before you arrived.

Great place to connect with family
Posted Jul. 8, 2023 on HomeAwayHad a great week with our extended family!! House was large enough for us to spread out but could also get together at meals. We were there to attend a wedding at the Creekside Farm Wedding Venue. It was closer than getting hotel rooms a half hour away.
Communication with host was great! Awesome time. Not much yard since the house is on a steep lot but young kids had fun fishing off the dock and playing around the house!
Thank you!!

Beautiful property!
Posted Apr. 26, 2023 on HomeAwayWhat a great place to stay for a large group of people! We stayed here the night of our wedding and it was perfect. Beautiful view and the house was plenty big for the 16 of us. Car parking was tight but additional parking was provided just a few houses down.

Great place for a weekend getaway
Posted Oct. 26, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had a great stay! The house was beautiful and the location was great. Previous reviewers had mentioned issues with bugs, but it wasn’t an issue for our group. Yes there were some ladybugs in the house, but it’s on a lake by woods so that’s to be expected. The kitchen was beautiful, and the space worked great for our group. We would absolutely come back again!

Beautiful lake, good location, property leaves a lot to be desired.
Posted Jul. 24, 2022 on HomeAwayOur group stayed this last weekend, and although the location is great, and the lake is beautiful. The house left a lot out that we have received at different properties. The ice machine didn’t work, no one let us know about that ahead of time, the cleanliesss is lacking, there are dead bugs everywhere. On the walls, ceilings, windows, inside, outside. The dock is unstable and honestly unsafe, I wouldn’t ever feel comfortable with kids on it, be prepared for only 6 adults to sleep comfortably as the bunk beds are very rickety and the squeak with any sort of movement. The sewage tank was also full, with water sitting on the top which had a terrible smell. One of the most inconvenient parts was the “driveway” if you can call it that. It is incredibly short and steep. Our group would not stay here again unfortunately.

Thank you for your feedback, Annie. We understand we cannot satisfy all groups. Bugs are common around the lake this time of year although we've had the house sprayed. Renters of the jet ski & pontoon had bumped into the dock & damaged it so we're in the process of having it repaired, although it is stable & safe to use. Bunks are at least 8-12 inches of memory foam suitable for adults up to 250 lbs. The septic tank has been pumped the Monday after your Sunday check-out.
The steep driveway has been mentioned many times to you & haven't been an issue for parking vehicles. We were told your group had tried parking 2 trailers on it which it is not suitable for such. Although we've offered alternative parking a few doors down, but your group still parked on the street during the entire stay that was prohibited. In addition, one of your guests hitting golf balls into our neighbor's house was quite irresponsible. We're glad it didn't damage anything & although he still apologized; but we wished it would've been a better experience for all parties. Best of luck on your next rentals.
