Wonderful House, Beautiful Views

This property was perfect for our family. The view from the dock alone is priceless. Our 8 y/o enjoyed the pirate ship playground, and our whole family loved swimming, fishing and kayaking off the dock. Rooms were nice with comfy beds, and the bathrooms were spacious. Kitchen appliances were a bit dated, but fine for simple cooking. In the evenings, we enjoyed watching movies in the living room with unobstructed views of the lake. Very convenient to Chapin restaurants. We didn’t want to leave, but will definitely be back soon! Thank you for sharing this lovely home!

Incredible Views

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Every morning we were able to sit and enjoy the picturesque view of the lake with our coffee. The neighborhood was quiet, yet convenient to everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and the two baths were spacious. We cannot say enough positive things about our hosts who communicated and were super helpful. Totally looking at staying at this property again!

Heaven on earth!

I can't express how perfect this place is. The view is magical. I went for alone "mommy" time but this home is equally perfect for a family trip or even a girls weekend. I travel often and I've never stayed in a place set up this well. They thought of EVERYTHING, I mean everything. The location tucked away but yet close to restaurants, groceries and sights to see. Stop lookig at other places, this one is perfect!

Great Location- Some Issues

A+ location and place Received a call driving 16 hours from MA to ask if I knew when I’d arrive. I said, isn’t check in at 4? They stated yes but were wondering what time you’d be in. I confirmed 4:00- arrived at 4:00 and found the house was still being cleaned. We unpacked in the driveway and waited in the yard. Cleaning staff let us know the dryer was broken. When my husband called about the check in issue and broken dryer, the manager stated, “We can talk about canceling”. Where were we supposed to go?! The pots and pans were scratched and some not so clean. Bunk beds were uncomfortable and creaky- kids slept on couches. Sink was clogged in main bathroom and Drano and maintenance couldn’t fix-plumber came and fixed it. Dryer- maintenance man was told by property management not to go in while we were out on boat rental even though we ok’d his coming to fix. When he did the next day, he had to order parts so I messaged should have a back up like a drying rack which they delivered outside the door. No one knocked to alert that it was there so 2 people home didn’t know it was there to use until husband and I found it outside when arrived home from dinner. Communication was heavily reliant on my continued checking of VRBO messages which caused a lot of confusion and delays in dealing with issues. Better to call renters. Love the property but next time not going with this company

Wonderful stay! Amazing water view, nice dock, lots of privacy. Although water temps were still chilly in March for swimming, kids were still able to play in the water from shore. We rented a boat one day and enjoyed beautiful views from the lake.

Would absolutely recommend!

We had an amazing weekend. We stayed here with our 2 small kids. The place looked exactly like the pictures advertised, it was clean, the beds were comfy, and the view was worth every penny! We brought our boat and had no problems with the landing which is only 10min away or docking.
