The main renter must be 25 yo+. Please contact me for potential exceptions based on previous host recommendations.

Maximum occupancy is 8 people including infants and children due to rural septic limitations. Please do not ask for exceptions to this capacity. I will not be able to honor any requests for more than 8 people.

Parking on this residential driveway is limited to 3 vehicles including any boat or other trailers. all other vehicles must be parked off site. Park on the narrow residential road at your own risk. No parking is allowed on the grass or mound septic system.

All smoking materials must be disposed of on a fireproof device and cannot be thrown on the lawn, lake or any garbage container. If they are unable to comply there will be a $200 surcharge to cleanup any smoking related materials.

Pet friendly but pet owners must pick up waste immediately and dispose of it responsibly. Petsay not be left alone in the unit unless they are in a crate. I have an extra large crate for your use but you must bring you own pet bedding. No cats are allowed in the unit at any time.

My family would like just to forget this trip and move on, but I am writing this review because I wish someone had left a truthful review so that we had never gone there. Kathy told us in the private messages if we leave a bad review, she would trash us in her reply so other owners would not want to rent to us. We have date stamped pictures to support our complaints. When we arrived the place was filthy. We called, and when she arrived, Kathy insisted that the house was clean, she cleaned it herself, and had no idea where the hair and dirt came from. We weighed our options: turn around and go home; go to a hotel for the night, and give Kathy a chance to clean; clean it ourselves and ask for a partial refund. She offered to refund the cleaning fee (she didn’t), and go to hotel at our own expense. But we had no confidence that she would clean because she kept insisting that she cleaned and sanitized the house before we arrived. My whole family spent 3 hours cleaning, and it was disgusting. There was dust, dirt and debris on the floors, hair on the bathroom floor, the toilet bowl had residue of the previous residents stuck to the inside. The kitchen was equally disgusting. We made the best of a bad situation and managed to enjoy a few days of our only family vacation. Later Kathy accused us of stealing her kitchen tools, letting our dog pee on the towels, extorting money out of her, and having too high of a "pucker factor".

Summer vacation
Family of 4. Great place had separate rooms for everyone. Kathy told us of places to shop in town. She has menus of restaurants she recommends some with coupons attached. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. It was very hot and humid the week we went. Didn’t take advantage of fire pit or kayaks.

Great place and location
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for the Englewood Open MTB and it proved to be the perfect setup for our group. Lots of space within the rental, and a ton outside. It is right on the lake and the owner provides everything you need to enjoy the water. The owner was super communicative throughout. Would highly recommend!
