Lake house stay
Upon arrival AT check in time, “her husband “ was still mowing the lawn…. Which left loose grass all over the entryway to be immediately tracked inside and of course the yard was full of loose grass. Considering the draw was water front, you spend a lot of time outside and each time anyone went into the house tracked in said grass. And you are expected ti leave the place EXACTLY as you found it. Then there’s the absolutely filthy windows overlooking the lake. Out of the two sliding glass doors downstairs, the one that they didn’t have blocked by a couch has no handle at all. Tissue stock in the handle holes. As for sleeping arrangements, GOOD LUCK! The room with the bunk beds was an afterthought, it is tucked in behind the laundry and you will need to search to find it. No windows and no lighting at all. The master suite was acceptable but the one other bedroom upstairs, the bed was so hard you are best to sleep on the floor. Two bedrooms downstairs are equal to sleeping on a foam mattress cover. You will need exceptional night vision, must lights throughout the entire house do not work, seriously! Recliners are broken and lean to the right……. Sofa table is broken and barely standing. Dining table, a total joke!!! You are accommodated by two captains chairs that are broken and lean whichever direction you choose. The rest of the chairs are hard plastic some type of chair! It is dirty and ridiculously dated and not properly cared for.

Space for all!
Our family had a great stay at this retro get away for labor day weekend. There was more than enough room for all of us. We were all able to have our own room/space to sleep. The property manager was quick to respond with any questions we had and let us in as soon as we arrived. The house it self could use some updating but overall no complaints! The yard was well kept and the shallow water in front of the break wall was soft and sandy. We enjoyed a fire each night down by the water. Would absolutely recommend this property to other large parties or families that love the lake life.

It was fine
We enjoyed having the outdoor space for 4 families. Our kids had space to float near the dock and the kids were all able to touch because the water was shallow. The fire pit and grill were also very nice. Although there is no air conditioning it was pretty cool at night and we were done without it. The rooms were all decent besides the bunkroom which had less than ideal mattresses and was very damp. But for the space and lake front stay we made it all work and was within our budget

Retro Retreat Review
I didn't stay in the home, my adult children and grandchildren did. I stayed nearby. I visited the property and heard my children's comments about their stay. Although there is no air conditioning, it was only uncomfortable for 2 of the 7 nights of their stay during the 4th of July. The property description does state there is no air conditioning and the lake air and fans do help cool down the house, but not enough on really hot and humid days. The owner of the property encouraged communication before and during our rental. When we had an issue, she immediately presented solutions and/or options for a resolution. With the owner's permission, we checked in early. As a result, the cleaning crew may not have had enough time to do a thorough clean. So, before we could put food in the fridge and freezer we had to clean them first. My children didn't think to look in the dishwasher, so they didn't realize there were coffee cups and other dishware in it and wound up buying or borrowing them elsewhere. Fishing off the dock was easy for beginners. All of my grandkids caught a fish (ages 2 to 13) in less than five minutes a piece.(not keepers). There is a pubic boat launch across the lake that we used to get a boat over to the dock. The lake is huge and allows for all types of motorized water activities My children said they would stay there again... in the spring or fall.

This place will take you back to visiting your grandparents in the 90’s. A colorful home with plenty of space for everyone. A ton of light with the best view of the lake. My family and I had a wonderful time here. She shows her age but she still has so much to offer!!
