My wife and I had a “honeymoon” type adventure that rekindled our 12 year flame! Beautiful views, warm, cozy feel, music and nature, great local restaurants and wine! Wonderful 9 days of peace! Stairs are a challenge on the way home, makes you want to extend a view extra nights just to not have to carry your luggage up them.

Liked the location and quite house on hayden lake in the fall. The fireplace is a great feature for cold evenings.

This is a lovely spot, but it would really be nice if the amenities listed were accurate. We would have been more prepared and brought the necessities. Somewhere on the listing it needs to say that you need to bring your own drinking water--at the very least it needs to be in the email sent the day before. We came all the way from Portland, Oregon and had no idea you couldn't drink the water. The first thing my daughter did was drink a glass of lake water. This is a serious safety issue. I would really go after you if she had gotten sick, luckily she didn't. Then we had to drive back to town the first night we arrived to buy water, only to find there isn't a coffee maker, only a kerig. We are big coffee drinkers and there was no way to make coffee with our fancy coffee grounds. You need to specify this on the listing. The next morning after trying to pour hot water over the grounds we drove back to town to buy a coffee maker for the rest of our stay. The house sleeps 9 but has 5 coffee cups and 7 forks. The dishes in the cupboard weren't clean so we had to wash them before using them (which I don't blame the owners for, it was the last guest), but there are only 2 dish towels and they are polyester. This means they didn't dry the dishes, and if you tried they left little blue bits of fabric on the dishes. If you just left them in the dishdrainer, little bugs got all over them when they dried. The fireplace didn't work, super bummer as it got cold that week. Bring everything!

This is right on the lake with a personal dock. House is cozy with nice amenities. Wonderful sitting area under the trees. Main bed was not that comfy for us.

The description failed to mention (or if it does I missed it) that you have to go down TWO steep sets of stairs (14 steps, and 12 steps connected by a sloped landing) with an overall elevation drop of about 30'. At 73, and having broken both ankles in the past, hauling our luggage down was hard. Hauling it back up was brutal.

The views were spectacular. Am hoping to rent this space again this summer.

The location and the privacy it provided was perfect to escape the city and any daily grind. Loved the fireplace and the upstairs area. The downstairs part is the really rustic area of the home. Very cold and no heat source I could find to heat up the bathroom. Upstairs bath was acceptable.

Gorgeous lake view. Beyond that totally disappointing on all fronts. Accessing the house is very difficult. Very long and narrow stairway with small steps to reach the house. Good luck getting your luggage down here. Top narrow for suitcase. They should have a warning especially for older guests. Very Basic sanitary and hygiene procedures were not followed. Couch smells, probably dog smell. House overall is quite dirty. Towels were wet. No closets to hang outfits and no clothes drawers either. Second bedroom bedsheets were not washed and also smell like dog. Woke up with an itch and a couple of red bumps on our skin. We have to wash the sheets today, if we find detergent. Guess what? Washer doesn’t work. No kidding. No dishwasher either. No kitchen towels. No toaster. No wine glasses, no wine opener, no cocktails glasses. Reached for a fork, it was dirty, sticky and had hair on it. No kitchen trash bags. Barbecue is filthy, can’t use it. We brought our coffee, but couldn’t use it, only a Kerug machine. Not a single Kerug pod provided at least to cover us for our first morning. Loud pump or some equipment behind locked door right next to main bedroom operating on and off all night. Difficult to fall asleep. Internet very slow. Sometimes no coverage. Often our devices were kicked off the wifi network. Thanks to Carlos and his associate. They showed up with clean sheets and kitchen towels. They worked on the washer. Disassembled the control board and tried to fix the electrical. It still didn’t work. They will call Lowes to see if they can fix it. Of course, Lowes never showed up. Carlos offered to refund the cleaning fee. Check in at 4 pm. Checkout at 10 am. Yet, Owners expect us to start a load of laundry before we leave. How ironic!Tried to get one hour extension for check out. They wouldn’t grant us even half an hour. The excuse was the cleaning service will arrive at 10. We are certain this house was NOT cleaned before we checked in. Overall, a bad and relatively expensive experience at $500 per night. Very disappointing.
