The day after we arrived we found dirty, wet towels in the closed washing machine. The host was informed and apologized but did not offer to have it cleaned or more towels sent to the house. It rained twice while we were there and once was a very heavy rain. Both times water came into the back bedroom and spread into the hallway and other bedrooms. The second rainfall was a flash flood warning and the entire back room filled up with water enough that even the bedding got wet. We took pictures and notified the host that we were frantically mopping up the water and they just stated it was a flash flood and they would have a crew out to clean the next day. The next day was check out so a cleaning crew was coming anyways and that did nothing to help us the day of the rain when we had to move all our belongings to the second floor and clean water for a few hours. The host did not seem concerned at all that the house had severe leaks and just stated it was a flash flood which is true but does not mean it is acceptable for there to be flooding in the home. The host offered no immediate remedy or assistance for either issue and just said sorry. Problems can occur with rentals which is understandable but the customer service being so poor was what made the experience stressful and unpleasant.

This property is absolutely gorgeous and Arlene is really kind & a great host. The room at the top cabin has beautiful sliding doors and you wake up to a view of the lake. It rained a lot during our stay but the cabin has an inclosed porch and the vibes were definitely vibing. It’s easy to enjoy and it was a special week. Only complaint I have is the stairs going down to the water get REALLY slippery so need to be very careful post rain but still a 5 stay for my family. Hope to be back soon.

The lake was beautiful and the property provided plenty of space for our whole group.

We stayed at the property with our three kids (5, 7, 11) and the setting is beautiful. It is right on the lake, with a fantastic view and lots of quiet. It is across from a beautiful waterfall that it is fun to paddle board or kayak to. There are lots of places for people to sleep, so it would be good for a larger gathering. There are a couple of things that keep it from being 5 stars. It is not clear from the pictures, but there are multiple flights of stairs, very steep switchbacks, and very very steep driveway to walk down to get to the water/dock. It is so far and steep that once you are down there, you really want to avoid going back up. It was almost impossible to get the Kayak we rented down to the dock and even harder to get it back up with two able-bodied adults. In addition to being very steep, there are multiple places where there are sheer drops down to the water with no guardrail. For kids in particular, they get so much momentum going down the hills, there is worry the will go flying off one of the many sheer drops. The owners have clearly been doing renovations, so the pictures online do not match the house. For example, there is no longer a tub in the bathroom. This would be fine, but there are building materials, broken chairs, giant pieces of dock and concrete in random places around the property. There are very small things that also keep it from being five stars like no mattress pads on the beds, so the very thin sheets slip off the corners and you are sleeping on a bear mattress or the wine fridge has a condensation problems so their is always a puddle of water in the kitchen unless you put a towel down and change it when it gets soggy. The communication was great, check-in was very easy and I imagine they will get correct pictures up on VRBO soon. It is a lovely place for able-bodied adults who probable should be sober.
