Our stay had both positives and significant challenges. The home itself is attractive with beautiful views and in a good location, but unfortunately our first night was extremely uncomfortable because the AC was not working during a period of excessive heat. Sleeping without AC made the home difficult to enjoy. When we notified the host (Upon arrival) that the AC wasn't working, they were able to arrange for an HVAC technician to come the following day, but the earliest available appointment was after 4:00 pm. Since we would have been without AC until then and we had 4 kids during excessive heat, my husband and his HVAC friend ultimately spent about three hours diagnosing and repairing the system so we could comfortably continue our vacation. Adding to the heat there are no blinds on the windows, having blinds would have helped keep the heat as well as morning light out. Upon arrival we also had to clean the front porch it was littered with pine needles after the storm and didn't leave a good first impression. While the BBQ was nice there were no BBQ tools that we could find. The lake was nice but really not swimmable in my opinion we made the best of it though. I also recommend contacting the host via text as they suggest, because messaging them through VRBO resulted in delayed responses. To their credit they did ultimately reimburse us for the one night's stay which was appreciated. That effort to make things right factored into this review.

Had a great time with the Family. The house was clean and ready to spend a weekend in. Plenty of beds and plenty of space in the open layout for decent size family gatherings. One room had bunk beds which were nice for kids with a little play closet with a net to climb on and foot/hand holds on the wall for climbing. Nice view of Clam Lake and enjoyed fires by the lake. The 2 showers were nice which made it easy for everyone to get ready in the morning. Over all worth the money for the stay and would stay again.
