Plenty of room and Great Lake access

18 adults and 1 baby stayed for 4 nights in this very roomy house with perfect access to the lake. Except for the carpeting on the stairs (which needs replaced) the place was very clean. More bath towels during the humid months would be beneficial, but overall we had a great family Christmas in July and would absolutely rent this property again

The view was beautiful. The amount of room was perfect for my family group. A couple safety issues. The stairwell going to the basement did not have a handrail. A few of the kitchen chairs had loose legs. We bought a screwdriver and fixed it. The dishwasher upstairs the seal was not in place so it leaked, but my brother fixed it.

Although we were a little disappointed with the upkeep of the yard/ landscaping and the cleanliness of certain areas in the house , we all had an amazing time . It was the perfect set up having both the upper & lower units for a large family / friends with both an older and younger age group .

They have definitely fixed it up! Fresh paint and new curtains! We rent the top and bottom and really enjoy this place. Perfect for big family gatherings. They are quick to answer any questions or concerns you might have. They take good care of their guests! Looking forward to our next trip in one of their other properties.

Spacious property. It was great for our family gathering. We all had a good time. The home does need some maintenance. Screen door on one slider was disconnected and was propped up on one side. The stairwell between the upper and lower units should have a handrail. Landscaping needs an update. Overall it was a good experience and would rent again.

Good location. The property has not been kept cleaned. We couldnt use one of the bedrooms since there was a water leak and the owner didnt fix it (juat gave us a bucket). One of the washrooms had mini frogs and other insects. Tried to contact the property manager (Dominic) and he was going to have the owner (Roman) reach out to us. Neither of them contacted back. Not happy with their maintenance and customer service. Stay away!!!

We really enjoyed the location of this house. It is right on the lake, easy to get to. Dock is shared. Only downfall is kitchen is not well equipped. We rented the whole house, ground level and upper level, plenty of room then for all 16 of us. Don't know if I would like having some else staying above though, even though you can lock stairway on both sides. Could be noise factor then of hearing footsteps above you. (As someone else said in review). House is as pictured exactly. Other houses are close by, but lake & dock is great. Went to KOA water park - kids loved it! We rented jet skis the other day. Went to a winery late one afternoon. Adult time away, with older teens babysitting. There is plenty to do in the area. We will be back in the area again, maybe at same house!

Size matters

We were a large group and the house afforded space for all of us for sleeping and the children to play. There was an issue with the towels and cleanliness of the house. There was also a shortage of sheets for the pullout couches and blankets were not available for warmth

Communication with the host was quick, easy, and they are super friendly. We used both the upstairs and the downstairs unit, and there was plenty of space for our big group of 17—less than 30 minutes from stores and restaurants, and 5 minutes from ice, fishing worms, etc. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of utensils, dishes, and pots/pans, but if you plan on cooking large meals (like for our big group), you'll need to bring your own big pots (or get them from Walmart like we did). We recommend the Lake of Egypt Pontoon Rentals, aka "Weiner Rides," if you want to rent a boat. They were beyond friendly and will deliver and pick up the boat at this location. Last thing we'll say, there is PLENTY of parking. Our group was from 7 different households, and there was enough parking for all seven vehicles, which can be hard to find sometimes. We loved our stay here and will try to get back into this property when we return in a couple of years.

We had 6 couples and 6 kids stay. Plenty of room for everyone! Had some confusion with the dock situation with some neighbors staying as well but all worked out well. Property manager responded well to a needed propane tank. We hope to come back soon!

Room to Breathe

Group of us got together for the weekend to just hang out and recharge. Plenty of space for kids, dogs and teens to play and for the adults to have their own space as well. Great yard with grill, firepit and dock. Close to state park and 2 waterfall trails which were family friendly and a great mid-day activity. The management was friendly, easy to reach and quick to respond. Our group will definitely rent there again.

80% pleased

Converted lake house that could use some sound insulation between the 2 levels. As a family we understood the noise. If 2 different clients are staying, they may not be too happy. The cleaning crew needs a boost. For the most part, things were clean, but downstairs , the air return vent was covered in dust and grime. I understand the owners haven't had the property too long and may be working on these issues. Location, view, and scenery to get to the property very nice.

time with the family

In some ways, it was perfect. The lake setting was beautiful. There were enough beds for everyone and room to spread out. We had time to just chill and hang out with the family with no distractions. All our families were able to drive the same distance to meet up and spend time together. Mission accomplished. One the other hand, considering we fixed all our meals on site, the kitchen facilities were substandard. This bothered the cooks and our chef son. Next time (if we choose to come back) we will bring our own knives! Dealing with no garbage disposal was a forgotten skill that quickly returned. All families were used to having curbside recycling. (yes, we did improvise to recycle our glass, cans, empty water bottles, cardboard, paper, taking it home.) The final or first issue we discovered was leaking. There was water dripping from the trim around a bedroom closet. The puddle on the floor was huge taking two big towels to wipe up. We called the property owner, was assured someone would be out Saturday morning then crickets. (understandable as it was a holiday weekend but a call back to say no one was coming would have been nice.) The dripping was intermittent. Also one of the master sinks dripped under the cabinet. Since some one was supposed to come out Saturday we didn't report it until the day after check out. We called our vacation spot the party house since it's obvious no one stays in it long enough to notice and fix the little things.
