If it could be a 0 star, it would be. We booked this property at the beginning of May for Father's Day weekend. As someone who has rented vacation rentals, I know how many emails and notifications that get received to the owner prior to ones stay. I had not heard from the owner, all to find out apparently the 2025 renovations listed aren't even done and the property wasn't available. No apology whatsoever from the owner, just excuses. Keep in mind that we were leaving the next morning for this trip and had 8 hours to book a new place on one of the busier weekends of the year. Clearly I should have followed the ratings that left warnings of similar issues. If the owner could have been bothered to just email us in the first place and cancel the booking at the beginning, no harm, no foul. But instead she did nothing. This wasn't a huge ask, this was basic rental courtesy that takes 10 minutes out of someone's day. If you're going to book I would blow the owner up from the beginning so you're on the same page. I've never had an issue on VRBO as a renter or owner but this was a complete nightmare.

Great Location!
Great Location!
The location of the property was beautiful and the inside of the cabin was clean. The VRBO site was having some issues during check in, but Jennifer was very helpful & easy to get ahold of. The cabin is very well stocked with games and movies during times of rain. We had a wonderful weekend & will definitely be back.

Don’t even bother

We couldn’t even get in to the place and the host didn’t even communicate ahead or get back to us until a couple of hours later than check in time. By the time we heard back from the host we already booked another place. We received our money back but still it was not a good experience especially after driving a couple of hours.

We arrived to a shower of orange,red, and yellow fall leaves faling on grounds and the water. The view was breath taking and deck was the place to be. For a small house it suppied all our needs with a great bathroom. When we woke up next morning we watched the fog roll gently across the lake for hours.

I didn’t realize the property sits right next to the marina 😎. You could technically float to the marina if you wanted too 😂. The deck layout is nice, might need some more grips on the ramp part for the bigger guys lol. Also there are friendly turtles that hang by the deck. Good time for the Labor Day weekend. Second night me and my gal friend slept in the hammocks (one is there already) also hooks to put another if needed(3 total) Side note- I’m usually a snack for mosquitoes but I didn’t get bit once. We will be back! Thanks for having us! -Shelby from Cincy.
