There was an error in the schedule and two separate parties were booked for the same day. We weren’t notified of this error until less than 2 days before we were suppose to arrive. We had this property booked for 6 months prior and had paid appropriately. We were told we couldn’t stay and we proceeded to look for another place. 5+ hours pass and we were notified that it was corrected and we could stay. Luckily we were able to cancel the 2nd place we had just booked. The manager/owner is hard to reach..I had tried to get in contact with him several months prior to our stay so it was very frustrating to have this issue so close to when we were scheduled to arrive. The house had a weird musty smell but otherwise appeared clean. One of the beds was broken down stairs. The owner/manager drove by to check on us on and had said he would come by again later, which we didn’t feel was really necessary after the first check in. We enjoyed the lake and all the winery locations close by. We also visited an alpaca farm and had fun there. This location is certainly not for people who have mobility issues, which is stated in the description.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Loved the water toys including kayaks especially. Our family took time to chill on the beautiful deck, and play games. True serenity. However internet only allows one person on at a time. We had a student taking an online class and the internet was totally unsatisfactory. Also unable to watch television.

We’ve stayed in many rentals on the lake, and this was by far the dirtiest one we’ve stayed in. The toilets were not clean. The fridge was filthy and had leftover food from other renters. The stove had grease splatter on it, and the appliances all needed to be wiped down. The forks and spoons were dirty. The ceiling fans had layers of dust, and there were cobwebs everywhere. The entire place smelled musty, and almost all of the furnishings were old and beat up. Worst of all, we saw mouse droppings everywhere and a couple of traps. I do have to say the beds, linens and towels were clean and fresh. The living room couches also seemed new. It's worth noting that the layout of the unit is odd. The downstairs area with the twin beds and the bar cannot be accessed from the main floor. You must go outside and walk down the deck steps. We found the space kind of unusable due to its inconvenience. Cleanliness aside, the unit’s location is great. The no-wake cove is nice for swimming. We enjoyed the kayaks, lilypads and paddleboard at the dock. If this unit was cleaned, had the carpet removed and had some modern updates, it'd be much better.

Had a great time! We had unexpected snow and the owner was great about cleaning off the walking areas and putting down sand. We’ll definitely be back!

This was our second time staying in this house. Last time we came alone-this time we brought the kids. They loved that they had their own separate space downstairs. The house is very cute and cozy and the view from the deck is wonderful. My only suggestion would be that more forks are needed.
