Overall the house was nice it was just small things here and there, but nothing too bad. Especially for the price it worked. There a couple things that could be fixed like the toilet handle in the one bathroom is a little broken and the drain in the shower upstairs is kind of slow. But nothing major, when we first arrived, the house was pretty clean just a couple things of trash here and there under furniture. Wi-Fi worked pretty well also the pictures should be updated because they actually have some nice TVs we were able to watch movies on Netflix and all that. The hot tub was very nice. I would recommend that they get a light outside for around the hot tub for when it gets dark.

Most things in the house were partially broken or dirty. It seems like the rental company doesn't care about the condition of the property. The grill was a nightmare to cook on and needs to be replaced. It's a serious fire hazard in its current condition. All of the dishes were dirty when we arrived, the toilet brush was disgusting and needed to be replaced, the backyard is significantly smaller then it looks in the pictures.
Also, the toilets are tiny. A regular sized human cannot fit on the toilets. They only provided 2 rolls of toilet paper for the entire house, which was an issue since we had 5 people.
Overall, the house was in good proximity to everything and was suitable for a short stay. Also, google maps takes you to the wrong house and there are no house numbers to help you find the correct house.
3.9
Nicely furnished house with plenty of space and four bedrooms, two baths. Quiet location, convenient to lake and Wisp resort. Stayed during a heavy snow storm, driveway was plowed prior to arrival and at least twice over the two day storm. The only disappointment was that the hot tub was not filled.

This house was in a great location and we loved the yard that we could sled ride in. It was spacious with the two living rooms and large kitchen. It coukd use some updating, beds were really uncomfortable and upstairs bathroom needs work. Overall a pleasant stay.

The place seem like they didn’t take care of it. Very outdated.
The dishes were dirty. Pots and pans had burnt food stuck in the bottom of the pan. The bed sheets had stains on it. The blankets had stains on it. The pillows were dirty. The one bed had hair on it. My wife had to wash everything up prior to being used.
Now about the place. The weeds are three feet tall in front of the house. Didn’t look like the pictures online. Nothing had been mowed in weeks. No cable on either TV. TVs outdated by 20 years. But you had a VCR. The washer/dryer closet door off track. Dryer does not dry on first time around. Takes three times to dry clothes. Lint trap probably hasn’t been cleaned in months. Back sliding door from Great Room very hard to close. Light bulbs burned out in Great Room. Everything is just outdated.
To sum it all up. The place looks like it hasn't been used in months which is probably why there is a snow shovel and ice melter on the side porch.
We were not happy. There was a lack of response on getting anything take care of. All they did was come out and mowed 2/3s of the way through our stay. Do not recommend it.

The space, however the televisions were outdated and did now work. The hot tub did not work. The furniture needs to be updated did not look clean

The good: Home is clean, warm, well stocked and set up nicely. Hot tub was heaven! Internet works great.
The needs: A little paint inside and exterior landscape repair here would go a long way. No cable which is fine, but its 2022, please invest in some cheap Roku TV's so guests can use their streaming services (ex Netflix, Prime Video).

House was ok. Things are falling apart. Tvs are old & couldnt watch anything. There is a vhs player…..
So many light switches, looked like they were once labeled, but couldnt read them. There are outlets that dont work. Buttons on the hot tub look so very unsafe to use. Upstairs bathroom as water damage by the shower. Walls have marks & dirty prints on them. Beds…omg the most uncomfortable beds ever. I hurt so bad just from the bed. There looks to be as if there used to be a gate outside, has wires coming out that are inside wires only & they are only electrical taped together!!! Dont touch them! The sliding door to the back yard was so hard to use we had to use the front door. Pictures online of this place made it look so much better. There was a huge beehive on the tv dish outside & our 6yr old was stung on our arrival. I have pics of all these things except the beehive. I rated a 3 because the location was great. Id expect a place for this price to be cleaner, and nicer yard clean up (weeds, falling apart stairs & my 6yr old found nasty beer cans in the yard) considering there is a million dollar house next door.

The good: cute main living area. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and open room. The kitchen is large, and as people who do a lot of cooking, this was a must. Nice location, as well.
The bad: When we arrived, one of the toilets was filled with toilet paper and human waste, but next to it was a fresh roll of toilet paper still in its packaging. Go figure. My goodness, the beds. I was so excited to get back home to my 12-year-old Ikea mattress, because the mattresses at Gravelly Run Lodge made mine seem downright bespoke. Having read other reviews, we all brought our own pillows. The ones provided, like the mattresses, are cheap and dreadfully uncomfortable. A lot of things didn't work quite well - the handle just dropped off the oven one day (we fixed that). The sliding door is still not quite fixed, you have to lift it up to move it. The toilet on the first floor constantly was refilling, so each time we'd have to lift the lid and make sure the flapper was closing properly. And the TV. Come on. Good TVs are not expensive these days. For the amount we paid, this place can afford to get a new TV, fix the door, and replace the mattresses.
2.5 stars/5, would not stay again.

My family really enjoyed the property, plenty of parking space when you pull in; also not too hard to find. The location is great, close to everything around. The place was very clean, minus a few dishes that needed rewashed. The rooms are spacious, and I love the space to put clothes for staying a week. The beds weren’t super comfy but not awful. The pillows are really hard, I suggest bringing your own! They provide some hand soap, little bits of dish detergent but if you plan on being there awhile it’s not enough, there’s also no laundry detergent. There’s plenty of towels offered so that’s great! The kitchen is pretty much fully equipped minus a few things! The couches in the one living room are pretty comfy but the sectional is not so much, like past reviews is definitely separates when you sit on it. Overall wonderful experience just minor things that need to be fixed!

The house gave the six of us plenty of room. The two family rooms have comfortable furniture, but small tv screens. The kitchen was okay but cooking utensils are flimsy, and the cutlery is minimal. We would have gladly brought our own if we had known.
The hot tub is a huge plus. Delightful.
Considerable maintenance is needed here. I feel a need to caution future renters about the sliding glass door. It needs to be replaced. I hurt my back trying to open it and I’m still suffering from it.
We enjoyed the surrounding area and we’re grateful to have a comfortable place to stay.

Great house but needs some little updates
The location was great very quiet area, you can hear gravelly run all day and night very peaceful. Got to see a bear and right outback was a fox den with 6 little babies running around. The house does need some updates beds were a little hard, tv in the den is small and outdated would like to have some grill utensils not just plastic. House was very clean and roomy besides that and would really love to stay here again.

Clean but left a lot to be desired
The house was perfectly clean and had tons of space but all of the furnishings were extremely outdated and beat up, the couch was falling apart. Don’t try to sit abs have a movie night because the TV is from 1998 and if you don’t own VHS tapes anymore, you’re out of luck. The beds were hard as rocks but again, the rooms were clean. I suggest bringing your own pillows to try to get comfortable. Having the semi fenced yard was helpful with the dog- bring your own gate to close in the open side if you have a wanderer. Would stay again if the owners took some of these reviews under advisement and gave this place a much needed loving facelift. Staying in this home cost too much for this low level of quality.

This house is an awesome house, very spacious, lots of room for a bigger family like ours. Kitchen space was amazing. The hot top, the views. The location is wonderful. Just a little bit of investment would make this top notch and have people want to return. . New mattresses and pillows (they were very very uncomfortable, we actually had to go to the store to buy pillows), an updated tv in the family room and a new couch in family room. We fixed the Spanish problem on the tv (as in a previous review) but there is virtually no channels offered. We went over thanksgiving and it was just a chill week and the couch doesn’t “stay together”, you couldn’t sit or lounge on it without it separating or moving across the floor. As for check in. Never got email with code to get in. And WiFi name and password that was emailed and that is on app is not what it actually is. We couldn’t get into house and couldn’t log onto the WiFi from outside to call to get code. Since the cell service is spotty, had to get back in car and drive 5 minutes up the road to get service to call and get our code. Email never came all week. There is a decent cleaning fee that is charged to all guests but the house was not very clean at all when we arrived. There was Spilled dried purple pop or koolaid all over the desk and part of kitchen counter. Dried milk on one table. The Floors were dirty Bathroom downstairs had used bar of soap in it which leads us to believe that it wasn’t cleaned, and we had to clean it.

Simple, Comfy Home
This home was simply appointed, no frills, but comfortable and sufficient for the 7 of us in our party. Two families easily split up the home so we had private bathrooms and privacy as a family. There were two living rooms which worked nicely as a kids’ space and an adults’ space. Technology in the way of TVs (and the “cable” that was only in Spanish on one tiny tv or only 2 channels on the slightly larger tube tv with vcr) was lacking, however it lead to more family game time which was great. The hot tub was a nice size and pretty clean, though it would get a filmy residue at the water line that I cleaned before daily use. All in all, it was nice enough for the price.

The location is perfect & the hot tub is wonderful. Plenty of space. Need to upgrade ancient tv in den & provide ability to use gas fireplace. We had visits in the yard from several deer & small critters!

Great location, terrible beds.
The location is perfect, especially if you rent a boat at the marina. However, we probably would never stay here again due to the terrible beds. Everytime you moved it would squeek and we all woke up sore from the uncomfortable beds. The TV could really use a 21st century upgrade. The hot tub was perfect though! The temperature of the house really fluctuates with the outside temps, but the fireplace definitely helps with this.
