5.0 / 5.0
We had a great vacation - the location was very central to many activities that suited the different age groups in our multi-generational family group. The game room was a big hit! The house interior was comfortable and clean and very well stocked.
5.0 / 5.0
My friends and I had a great time at this lodge! The upstairs and downstairs both have a great living room area and the downstairs game room with pool and air hockey was very nice! Couches and beds were comfortable. Hosts were very quick to respond when we had one slight issue and were ready to address it immediately. Would definitely recommend!
3.0 / 5.0
The good: location is very quiet with lots of deer around. Basics are provided. Plenty of propane to run the grill. K-cup and pot coffee maker available. Dishwasher worked well. Community beach and pool are very nice.
The bad: Upstairs beds are doubles, not queens as shown in the listing. Grill grates were very rusty, ignition switch didn't work but stick lighter was provided. Outdoor umbrella had a hole in it. Electric stove top coils wouldn't sit flat so the pans were always tilted when cooking. Only found non-stick pans which many were scuffed and chipped. Found a red solo cup under one of the beds, a hershey wrapper under another, broken glass under one of the downstairs couches and long very dark hair on the living room carpet (none of us have dark hair). One of the fire alams was removed from the ceiling, another was chirping needing new batteries but was in a locked closet. Luckily it was faint enough it didn't keep us up all night. The 8 wristbands provided are like the kind you get at a concert where they are not removable - wearing this all week long was annoying, and my daughters became unraveled on day 2 - luckily we had enough bands she could use another one. There are 2 dehumidifiers downstairs - one turns on but never seemed to collect water. The other had to be constantly running, the minute it stopped running the downstairs smelled heavily of mildew. That dehumidifier had to be changed 2x/day.
Overall: For the price paid, I was expecting more.
