        Never again at a Vacasa property
        This is a corporate property and it shows. It's obvious that there is no one that cares about this place. I've stayed at many VRBOs all around the country and this place was the saddest by far. It's like someone furnished it by spending one day shopping at rummage sales. Beds are fine for kids but not too many adults will find them comfortable. Couch needs to be thrown out just be sure to not look under it because it's gross. There were dishes and silverware in the cabinets that maybe had been rinsed under the faucet before being put away. Silverware was dirty and several plates still had egg and bacon residue on them. It is on the water but getting out on the water is not easy and you're not going to be swimming in it. More of a pond than a lake. If you're looking for a place to crash and not planning on spending much time here it'll be fine. If you're looking for a place to while away the days at a lake house look elsewhere. I could could go on and on but it's great location and that's about it. Make sure you Google reviews for Vacasa porperty management before you book. We definitley should have

        Great Location, Scruffy Interior, No Local Help
        Location was great. Walking distance to the grocery store, nice coffee house, swimming beach, a place to park your boat on the big lake, right off bike trail, etc. Inside the photos don't show some of the wear and tear. Pleather couch coming apart, old mattresses with springs you can feel, carpet tacks where the rug is thin, etc. Also, the description didn't match for the bikes (fewer than advertised) nor the personal water craft (more than advertised), so ensure you bring anything you really want. There was no local host. When we notified Vacasa of any issues, we got "sorry" emails. Overall, nice for our large group and with plenty of local restaurants, bike trails, lake access, etc. But not a super-well maintained cabin.

        Three Star Property with Potential to be Five Stars
        This place could be a five star property with some maintenance and better cleaning. The description is lake front, but it was more mosquito swamp than water front. The dock felt cheap and unstable. Very disappointed for my kids who were thinking they’d be swimming in the lake. Overall, the cabin was great. The beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked. The location is excellent! Close to grocery, restaurants, and a coffee shop. Maintenance of the property is lacking. Gutters are falling off or full of leaf debris. Which creates for a slippery deck after it rains and more bugs! There’s broken furniture (two dining room chairs) and a coach that is shedding off the pleather. The cleaning was a two star because as we stayed we noticed just how dirty it really was. We found mouse droppings on the main level and I ended up vacuuming the whole upstairs and under the couch. It was disgusting.

        Amazing location but needs upkeep
        I stayed here with some friends the first weekend in June for a special event at a local park. The location was perfect. We loved Dixie’s coffee house and utilized the bike rental and trails nearby. The house was very clean and spacious and all of the appliances were great. We did not spend a whole lot of time at the residence so it worked well for what we needed it for. Although it was clean the furniture was broken and the backyard was overgrown. The couch was peeling and the recliner was broken. There were multiple sections of the couch that were broken as well making it very uncomfortable to relax after a day spent outside. Some of the dining room chairs were also broken. We did not utilize the backyard but the grass was overgrown making it impossible to even get to the canoes and boat. The mosquitos were also unbearable which of course comes with the season but the property could use some spraying for the mosquitos. All in all great location and clean but definitely needs some upkeep inside and out.

        I think property was a bit overpriced. Bathrooms were super small for that size of house . We enjoyed watching the deer.

        DO NOT STAY HERE!
        The Vance Bay Getaway looked great in the online photos, however such was not the case. The carpet was filthy, the bedsheets were not clean, the reclining sofa was broken and would not stay upright, the cheap vinyl upholstery was shredded, literally falling apart. Urine splatters on the en-suite toilet. We were looking forward to our stay in beautiful Manitowish Waters, but the horrible accommodations, unfortunately, muddied the water.

        Great spot for our family
        We enjoyed our stay at the Vance Lane house; the house was clean and the kitchen was well supplied. We had planned to bring our grand dog, a German Shepherd, and that plan changed, but there would have been plenty of room for him both in the house and outside. We were there in between seasons, and the weather was not cooperative, so we didn’t make use of the yard or dock, but it was clear there was a *lot* of cleanup and yard work to be done outside before that part of the property matched the description. We are still waiting for a reply 3 days later from the owners/managers on a question about a refund (no dog!) but otherwise communication from the managing company was clear and timely. We would definitely stay again!
