Grandchildren vacation

This property was exactly how it was listed. Kitchen was well stocked and there was enough Bath towels and other towels for swimming. My grandchildren had so much fun on the lake with the tubes and Kayaks that we brought along with us. If you want relaxing and fresh air this is the place to go. I will definitely be renting this house again. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. Received all the information on how to get in the house timely. Can’t say enough about this home.

It truly is lovely!

Fantastic location right on the lake, facing south with a view of the mountains. Close enough but not too close to town. Space for dining, relaxing inside and outside with that great view. Very much appreciate the books, puzzles, games available. One thing rarely seen in rentals, night lights! Great idea. Will definitely plan to return.

Family favorite

We love this home! My children 3, 8, and 11, have the best week of summer here. Though they've never caught a fish they continue to fish off the dock every year. The home is clean and the addition of a/c did not go unnoticed as well as the new furniture covers. The new range last year was nice as well! I do agree with others that the water pressure is lacking and one cannot wash dishes or laundry while another showers. That will not stop us from coming here or leaving a 5 star review. It is a wonderful place to stay and we look forward to coming back every year.

Great family spot, not too far from town but still private

Beautiful property, wish we stayed longer! The house is beautiful, upstairs is set up a little weird having to walk through one bedroom to get to the other. Water pressure was the worst. It trickled out of the bathroom sink and would not get warm. Shower stayed warm but the shower head was horrible. Other than that it’s a great spot, me and my family enjoyed our time there. Kids loved the rocky beach and dock. Lots of spiderwebs in the windows though. Lost power at one point for about an hour during thunderstorms.

Location is pretty but there were issues regarding house. Based on price I expect more. Bad wifi which resulted in slow TV connection and lots of buffing Only a few windows open downstairs. Most were stuck Upstairs smelled like mothballs. Yucky carpet Cold at night Floor in shower was slippery. Almost fell stepping out. Picnic table was old. Outdoor furniture was dirty Didnt like Sofa cover. What are they hidding?

Great view, as long as you're ok cohabiting with rats

A true gem of a lakefront home with direct access to the lake and dock, 'Lakeshore Lovely' property is one of a kind. However the cleanliness of the home could have been improved. Despite that, we enjoyed ourselves. That is until a rat ran past our feet in the living room. To say that left a negative taste in our mouth is an understatement. We reported this to Vacasa property management who told us the local operations team would be in touch to address our concerns. Two months have elapsed and we still haven't heard from anyone... Interrupting our vacation to go to the hardware store to purchase rat traps really wasn't our idea of an enjoyable experience. I just read some prior reviews and there was mention of rodent issues months prior to our stay so the Vacasa management team and owner had been well aware of the problem and didn't address it. That's really disappointing. Overall, great views and as long as you're ok cohabiting with rats, you'll have a great stay! Given our experience, I won't be returning to this home or to another Vacasa property.

Pros: the house has a private feel with its own dock and backyard bordered by trees. We caught plenty of Smallmouth and other fish (perch? Chub? Fall fish?) off the dock with just lures. We also saw plenty of fish while swimming with masks. The lake was a really nice temperature and we brought our own floats. So hours of floating around in the water was perfect. The fire pit was nice, with a picnic table next to it. A porch on the back of the house overlooked the yard, fire pit and a beautiful view of the water and hills. The house had plenty of fans and all the windows opened with the sounds of wind and lake water and loons made sleeping nice. There was a downstairs bedroom with a huge view of the lake and an upstairs loft area with three single beds and view of the lake. And a double bed bedroom off the loft with a door for privacy. With all the windows open throughout the house it was nice and cool. Cons: the water pressure in the shower was weak. If the washing machine was going you'd get a trickle of water from the kitchen sink. The washer and dryer worked but are very old school and loud, so don't run the dryer if someone is trying to sleep in the downstairs bedroom. The Internet was pretty bad. You could text but phone calls and basic Internet was spotty or non existent. Overall, it was a really great experience. We wanted privacy, waterfront and enough beds and we got just that. The house was clean and tidy upon entry. The sitting area with the television was cozy as well as the dining room table for eating or board games. What would have been a nice feature is a canoe or kayak. If you want a homey cabin feel with the basics then this is your place. If you want a luxury home with fine craftsmanship, multiple bathrooms and ultra comfortable beds, this is not your place. For three teenagers and one mom (me) it was an appropriate rental. The big refrigerator was good too because you need to supply your own cooking and drinking water. There was a good supply of bedding as well, so no need to bring your own.

Perfect weekend get away!

Came up with my sister (who is visiting from out west) and my 2 youngest kiddos. This property was just perfect for us. Cozy and private. Camp was clean and tidy.. plenty of space for us. Lake views always incredible. Convenient to all the hiking trails we wanted to access. Will definitely plan to come back.

Beautiful Location

Very nice location! Loved how close to the water it was, very peaceful and relaxing. I spent most of my time outdoors but it did rain one day which forced me inside and the cleanliness of the home wasn’t 5 star. Either rusty pipes or high iron content in the water have stained the toilet and the shower orange and brown which was a bit off putting (I wore shower shoes!) there was also a gap between the sliding back door and the floor so rain water was leaking in and I had to stop it up with towels I had to switch out every few hours. There was also a mouse in the house, I caught it scurrying around a couple times. There was a bit of a learning curve to the thermostat if you’re not used to smart thermostats, instructions would be helpful :) it took me a while to remove the holds and preset schedules so I could make it warmer on the cold rainy day. The wifi is also not up to streaming caliber just as a warning, you can surf the web and do simple things but you cannot stream a video it just doesn’t have the bandwidth. I tried resetting the router and everything but if I tried to watch a video it would get pixelated and freeze almost instantly. That being said I still had a great stay! It really is an amazing location and a great price. I would book again!!

Lovely location in well equipped, kid friendly home. Screen door needs new track. Having beach towels available would have been a nice added touch. A heads up about the need to purchase drinking water would have been helpful. Overall, though, I am ready to book the same home for next year!
