Gorgeous home on mountain lake

My family spent a week here and we loved it. The home is beautiful inside and out. Everyone enjoyed paddling on the lake, hiking the nearby trails, and hanging out on the patio. We honestly did not want to leave and we look forward to returning someday!

Nice Lake House

This is a nice house and it was clean. The stairs are quite steep going downstairs, so if you have bad knees be careful.

casa de yayo

some basic things I thought the property could improve on: fireplace (even fake gas logs would be nice) firepit on back patio king beds in both upstairs bedrooms large tv over the fireplace I figure the owner knows this and its his/her personal preferences, but most renters would appreciate these small upgrades. it is a nice house with outstanding view and we enjoyed our stay!

Great Weekend Trip!

House and amenities were as promised or better. Plenty of space for conversation and relaxation. House is suitable for couples or a family with kids. Third bedroom has only bunk beds so not ideal for adults but a minor issue. Instructions are needed to operate TVs and remotes as we were unable to use. Nevertheless, a great overall house with relaxing water and mountain views. Will visit again.

Lakeside heaven

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Casa de Yayo. The home is beautifully decorated and has ample space to relax. The porch has a stunning view of the lake and was a favorite place to enjoy coffee and cocktails. The 2 bedrooms on the main floor were large and comfortable. There is a queen in the master (with a huge bathroom!) and a full in the guest room. The bunk room below provides great additional sleeping space if needed, but has 6 twin beds, which might not be ideal for couples. It worked beautifully for our crew and we loved being in such a lovely home! We will be back! Also tucked into a very quiet area on the lake.

Beautiful Home and Setting

My family travels to Lake Toxaway once a year and we love the area. It was our first time to Casa de Yayo. The house itself is great. And the view of the lake is spectacular. The house was not clean (Vacasa offered to come and clean, however we did not want the disruption since we had just arrived). The house could use an instruction book covering things like light switch system, overriding the programs on the thermostats, how to use the sound system, etc. We thought it could be stocked better (e.g. no tissues, partially used roll of paper towels with no back up, better organization of kitchen and supplies checklist, at least two more Adirondack chairs on patio, etc.). Greater potential here with a little more effort.

Loved the house and lake Toxiway

Cleaning not top notch. Mostly very clean except windows and covered patio. The most concerning was that that the garbage was piled high in every garbage bin!!!!!!! No garbage from garage had been emptied. Trash sack piled high, No room for our trash. A photo was taken and sent. Quick reply stating the problem was noted. All else fantastic

Great Time

This is a beautiful home and well decorated. We were very comfortable and enjoyed out stay very much. Such a nice property and home. However there were so minor shortcomings I would not expect a home of this quality and value to have. 1. No information folder or binder of the property and local area; place to see, things to do, places to eat out. 2.There were 30-35 trash bags in the garage. They had been there awhile, because it smelled. 3. Handle in guest shower was not attached and came off. Left on the counter. 4. White chair on the patio was broken. 5. The candles (3) on the upper deck were burned out and unusable. 6. The front porch and upper deck needed to be blown off. Lot of debris and trash. I removed the trash.
