Vacation Homes in Polk County

"Excellent. Breakfast was PHENOMENAL!!! No words to describe it. Only complaint is shower door and fire alarm going off twice at night. Everything else was superb!! "

"A/C ran great. Had a good time. Home away from home"

"There was an excessive amount of spiderwebs on all the docks, otherwise it was perfect. Very minor inconvenience and honestly the only negative note."

"Booked originally at motel 6. Felt extremely unsafe so immediately left there and stayed here instead. So glad that I did"

"The house is wonderful for large groups. Everyone had plenty of space. Pool was great for any age! There was everything you need in the kitchen, from blenders to pizza cutters! We will definitely be staying here again!"

"Room was very clean and updated. Bathroom updated too. Very happy with our quick stay. Needed a clean place and comfortable bed to rest while passing through. Will definitely stay again if needed. "

"Everything was great I think the only issue was the living room chairs were built for very small people and the couch was very uncomfortable"

"We enjoyed the location and great lake view. The home was clean and low noise level. It was very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The host was very prompt with any questions or information we needed. We would stay again."

"This was by far one of our most unique and fun stay! We’re a family of 5, kids ages 8, 10, 13. I read the reviews and there seemed to be a lot of complaints about the roads in the “neighborhood”. It’s unpaved but you definitely don’t need a 4x4 to get through. Trust me the local Dodge Charger had no issues flying around us. The pictures didn’t clarify if there was an oven/stove. I’m here to tell you there is a full size electric stove/oven in the castle. The German style guest house does not have one. There are pots and pans and I had no issues making omelets for breakfast or chili for dinner. Unfortunately during our stay the town was under a burn ban so no fire pit dinners for us. Thankfully my husband packed a small camping blackstone that he set up on the bar behind the castle. Thank goodness it’s covered because after we unloaded the car a cold front blew in freezing rain. There’s a big screen in the castle bedroom. We logged into our movie app and piled the kids into the king size bed for a movie night each night. One of my most favorite memories of the trip! I was worried about my boys staying solo in the guest house. So the first night we all stayed in the castle bedroom. Piled on the chaise lounges and sleeping bags on the floor. By the next day they were brave enough to stay alone. If you love camping this is a great find! Highly recommend. "
