The lake front chalet was AMAZING in every way! The new dock was our "home" throughout our stay. The dock was spacious and provided a great view of the lake. The hosts were absolutely incredible. They were responsive and great with their communication.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Chalet! It fit the needs of our extended family vacation & had extra amenities that made it a lovely stay! If we have any comments it would be that the drive is VERY steep & while Gerald did AMAZING accommodating our extra vehicles it proved to be a challenge - also there are quite a few stairs everywhere that could be difficult for anyone older or who has mobility issues. They went the extra mile being available for questions & although the dock had issues we understood it was out of their control. As was the issue with the spider webs - we were aware being in the middle of nature that bugs are an issue but bless their hearts the spiders were relentless, they would clean & the next morning webs everywhere - but again Gerald was a dear about trying to fix those things! We all enjoyed our time there!

The other reviewers have nailed it -- this was simply a fantastic VRBO rental experience, from beginning to end!! Wonderful, spotlessly clean house; fantastic location on a lake, and we made good use of the kayaks, the paddleboard, the lily pad float; great location in terms of access to area sites and attractions... and Gerald and Cindy were simply WONDERFUL hosts/owners!! We were fortunate enough to run into them as we were moving our things in to the house, and we stood in the driveway and chatted for half an hour. Delightful, delightful, and thoughtful people. Later in our stay, they dropped off an unexpected and thoughtful surprise that showed that they had been listening throughout our conversation a few nights earlier -- the kind of added little touch that makes you feel extra-well-cared for. Fantastic experience -- would absolutely stay here again!!!

Property was spotless with many amenities. Great Lake house and owner was very accommodating. Renters should be aware that there are many stairs. That was the only downside, otherwise perfect

Our group had 9 people- one teen and the rest adults. We all had the best time. If you are on the fence about booking, just do it. You will be so happy you did. Gerald was a absolute top notch host. Excellent communication! We got stuck on the lake in our pontoon boat (human error) and Gerald and Cindy came to our rescue:) We rented our boat from Big Worm. Big Worm delivered the boat to our dock. The lake house has everything you will need to make your stay wonderful. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. There are numerous kayaks and a paddle board. Our entire group of 9 were on the lake either in a kayak, on a paddle board or on a paddle boat. There is something for everyone. You will love coffee in the morning on the deck or grab a chair and sit on the dock. So peaceful. Listen to the birds and enjoy some tranquility. You must drive an hour to Garden of the Gods. You will feel like you are in Utah or Colorado. Amazing. We are already planning for next year.

Communication with host was great. Always check to see if need anything. If you have mobility issues beware there are a lot of stairs fortunately we didn't have any issues. Having a dock to bring our pontoon to was a bonus. House was very clean and stocked with k-cups little boxes of cearel and orher treats. We were there when Gorville was having some hot temperatures just to let know the AC works great. Thanks for great stay made lots of memories. 😊
