Great house that needs TLC
The house itself is great, the view is beautiful! We loved seeing deer each day! However, the property needs maintenance, the interior needs upkeep (light bulbs out, remotes need batteries, Master Bathroom sink remains clogged, interior drawers and cabinets need cleaned but the biggest concern was pest control (too many live roaches!)

It was great
The house was nice and well kept. As others have said, parking was a little tight but not bad at all. We enjoyed our stay. House was great and had a lot of nice amenities. Neighborhood was quiet and house was close to everything we wanted to.

cindi k.

significant risk of injury
The property is significantly run down and poses several risk of physical harm. The 30 wooden steps from the road to the back entrance are loose, splintered and steep. the additional 37 steep concrete steps leading to the entrance to the dock are somewhat uneven and crumbly. The wooden walkway leading onto the dock was unsecured on one side, causing about a 20% list and considerable swaying and bouncing. The dock itself is peeling and rotting. The lake view from the house is hampered by the over grown vines and trees. Two of the 3 upstairs bedroom didn't have working air conditioning, The kitchen was ill equipped having only 3 coffee mugs, 1 serving bowl, no useable baking sheets, no kitchen towels, no pot holders. The garbage was not picked up on a regular basis so we made 5 trips ourselves to the compacter site. There were no sealed garbage bins, provided was a plastic box designed to store outdoor cushions. Garbage cannot sit in there for a week in 95 degree heat no matter if it's in a secured garbage bag. This home is a severe accident waiting to happen to an unsuspecting renter. Needs a vrbo employee to go onsite, I don't believe this property meets your standards.

Peaceful
We spent a few relaxing days at the lakehouse. So peaceful. There were deer on the property every day. The lake was fantastic and the water was warm. The house itself is situated on the side of a hill which gradually slopes down to the water. Parking is challenging, but you get used to it after a few times. Yes, it's steep, but not ridiculously steep. Definitely will return.

Not as Advertised
Upon arriving we noticed the only parking space is on a steep decline that is way understated from the provided pictures. Because of that there is only room for one car. Next the steps are old and and the weeds and vines are overgrown on them causing hazards. It was raining when we arrived and when i got down to the main level I almost slipped on some slimy stuff on the deck. Once opening the door we hit with an incredible smell of mold and mildew. Very Disgusting. The downstairs bathroom sink did not work at all. The master bedroom sink was totally stopped up. The washing machine did not work. The bridge out to the dock was completely broken and dangerous so we did not get to enjoy the dock. When I used a towel I noticed the same mold and mildew smell on the "clean" towels. Again, disgusting. I called and spoke with the property owner and he told me they would definitely refund our money. We left the next day and found a suitable place to stay nearby. After we left then the property owners told us they would NOT refund any of our money despite have promised to do so. Also i tried to get VRBO involved but they were useless, saying our complaints were minor. Eventually the owners gave us a partial refund but not what we expected. The property itself has potential but is pretty much a nasty pig with lipstick. I would not recommend this property for anyone.

Lake house stay
We were in town for a family reunion. The location was close to the reunion site. We didn’t take advantage of the dock and lake. We had a prompt response to an ac issue. The parking was tough and the steps were a challenge. Just something to be aware of. Overall, the house was supplied with all we needed.

Perfect!
The place was so pretty,clean, and just everything it was advertised to be. Hot tub was in a perfect location for the weather on a rainy, cold day to enjoy the view and cover. Parking is tricky if more than one vehicle but we were told in advance. Great experience for sure! Would love to come back in the summer to really enjoy the lake and would pick this place again in a heartbeat!

House was nice but not for elderly
Outside stairs were a challenge as was parking. Amenities could have been better. Had family visit and only had 6 glasses Towels in bathroom were horrible. Blanket on guest bedroom bed was holy and nasty. Killed 2 cockroaches and found 3 more dead. The house itself was nice but definitely lacked some extras

Beautiful lake view
My husband and I enjoyed our stay with my sister and brother in law and our empty nester dogs. We came down for our nieces wedding at Koury Farms in Auburn. The property is close to restaurants and grocery. The home had a perfect floor plan and some extra necessities that sometimes you forget to pack.. foil, plastic wrap and numerous seasonings.. we were pleased to have a keurig coffee pot, makes it nice for different coffee preferences. As they say, the parking is tricky, but gets better with practice. We would definitely book this property again!

Dirty, run down property
I have never left a review but this warrants a mention as it was spectacularly bad. A rotten stair collapsed upon our arrival and the other entrance to the property was unstable. This matters because the property is on a steep incline so there is no other way to enter. It was dirty beyond belief: Dirty clothes lying around, rug in a heap on the floor, underwear under the bed, an ashtray full of cigarette butts, dirty sofa cushions, kitchen drain clogged with food scraps, dirty dishcloth, used coffee pod in dirty coffee machine, drain fitting missing in bathroom, used soap, with hair, in the shower, dirty blankets. One night a gas burner on the stove wouldn't turn off so we had to call the manager in to fix it. He actually told us it was likely due to a build up of food and grime. Drawers contained all sorts of things from dirty socks to drug smoking paraphernalia. The AC struggled to work and we were told not to turn it too low as it would ice up. We hadn't, it simply couldn't cope with much. At the very least it needed maintenance and mostly likely, replacing. The vents were so grimy we asked the manager to clean the one blowing air directly onto us. Dirty and rundown inside and out. We stayed because we had a number of functions over a few days and we simply didn't have time to look for an alternative. We 'cleaned as we went'. In fairness, the manager was responsive and polite but the issues shouldn't have existed and it's disappointing that VRBO don't vet properties.
