Although requested 2 days prior to arrival, did not received instructions regarding how entry was to take place until 2-3 hours before arrival time. Request early check in but was denied. When we arrived the inside temperature was 78 degrees, because the outdoor temp was in the mid 90s it took from 5pm til 2am to get internal temp comfortable enough to sleep. There were dead gnats everywhere inside the house took 2 of us a little over an hour to clean up. WiFi did not work at all. TV had only 8 channels working.

This amazing lake house slept out entire family of 19. The additional cots were a plus and somehow we NEVER ran out of hot water!! The back deck had a great view of the lake. They also had a large dock that was great for swimming and fishing. 2 kayaks , a canoe, and a 5 person paddle boat were also provided free of charge. The house is at the end of a drive and was secluded from the rest of the homes on the drive. This is a lovely vacation home and would highly recommend it. Also a huge fan of all the nice golf courses within 30 minutes!
We had one large issue with the ac unit going out during a very hot day but the owner was there within an hour of us calling. Temporary fix for that evening and the repair man was back out and fixed the issue before 8am the next morning. The owner checked back in with us multiple times to make sure everything was ok. We hope to be back soon!!

We enjoyed a lot and it is an awesome place for retreats and fishing for fun. We also went to local swimming place. A short access to local that you need while you’re staying.

We enjoyed our time at the lake house. We do this every fall liked this location better than our last one In Kentucky.

The property was clean and beautiful. The outdoor spaces were fantastic! The issues that we had were with uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. The bunk beds were very creaky and it made sleeping difficult. Also, if you closed the doors to the bedrooms they were super hot so we had to have all bedroom doors open which was not great for privacy or some people trying to sleep in

The property was great for our large family getaway. Between kids and adults it accommodated all 19 of us. The house was very clean, there was plenty of sleeping space for everyone and the lake views were wonderful. The home is secluded and private but still only a 10 min drive to the grocery and convenient stores. We had a wonderful weekend. I really don’t have any complaints except one thing. All of the bedrooms are on the second floor. Getting up and down the stairs was a little difficult for my elderly grandparents. We made due, but I think it would be helpful to put that in the property listing so others are aware. The only option for downstairs sleeping was the couch or roll away beds, which wouldn’t have worked well for some people. But overall the house was perfect for our large crew and we will likely be back!

House is super accommodating!
We stayed at this house for an extended-family trip. The house has everything you need, the hostess is a lovely person and very communicative and helpful and the view from the home is breathtakingly pretty.
All the said, however, if you’re into water sports or desire a lake to play in... Boggs Lake is not it. We are a very active family who loves to be in the water and we’re really disappointed with the Lake itself. It was overgrown with algae due to the heat, so it could have been a seasonal issue.
If you just want to enjoy a beautiful lake view, go in a boat ride, fish and not go into the water... perfect spot.

Great lake house
The house had just about everything we could have wanted except electricity at the boat dock. We had to run over 100 feet of extension cords to charge our boat batteries.
The only other negative is that there wasn't a fish cleaning station and we didn't find out until after our arrival that they had demolished the fish cleaning building in the adjacent park where we have cleaned fish in the past. But it looks like they are going to rebuild the cleaning building in the park so this will be a short-lived problem. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a very nice place to have several people for a lake outing. The location and views are outstanding and the property is well kept. A couple of small negatives wouldn't keep me from giving it a five star rating overall.

Broken Furnace
We were unable to stay the weekend due to a broken furnace. We are in the process of being refunded our money. We have received about 75% of the money VRBO is withholding part of the money. We do plan on using this rental in the summer.

Great peaceful spot on a lake
This spot worked well for our groups Thanksgiving gathering. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, and the openness of the main floor worked well for everyone to be hanging out, but also people able to do separate things like watching Thanksgiving parades on the TV or playing games at the table.
The kitchen was well equipped for all the cooking we did.
While it was a little chilly to take much advantage of them, the outdoor spaces and deck were really nice and would love to come back here during the spring or summer season to really take advantage of the lake.

Great weekend stay!
My family and I were in town for a wedding. We absolutely loved our stay at The Lake House. There was plenty of room for the family to spread out. The hosts were so kind and helpful throughout our stay! We’re so thankful for the memories made that weekend!

Great Lake Escape was great!
This spot was amazing! We wanted a place next to water because a lot of us liked to fish and everyone likes to just relax on the water. The water itself was nice, and the views and surroundings were very pleasant. One of our group brought a fishing boat and it was out at least twice a day.
The house itself was good too! Nice open main floor was perfect for everyone to hang out in. We played a lot of games, watched movies, made burgers and dogs, and enjoyed the outside deck in the evening.
Great spot for anyone looking for a nice, lakeside getaway.

Lake was disappointing
The property was clean and well maintained. The pictures accurately reflect the property. However, a couple of things were disappointing. Check in isn't until 5 PM, which is the latest of any property we've rented. While I understand the house needs to be cleaned between guests, check out was at 10 AM, which should give ample time for the property to be available sooner. We rented this particular house because of the lake. We brought a boat to fish and the bass fishing was good. However, the other main reason we wanted to be on the lake was so our kids could swim. The lake water is disgusting. It's green and so thick with algae, you can't see more than a couple inches into the water. Locals said the lake has been having a problem for more than a year. I would never swim in it or allow my kids to do so. The boat was stained green from the water and had to be scrubbed down. I've never encountered water like this before and after paying for a lakefront property so our kids could have constant access to the water, we were disappointed.

Okay Stay- Lots if Small Issues and Bad Ending
The Good- Great location and very private. Overall the house felt decently clean. While bedrooms were small, they did fine for our number.
The Bad- A lot of small issues that weren’t a big deal but together kind of soured it a bit. Light bulbs out, dirty plates in cabinets, a non-stick pan that literally had the non-stick coming off. Marshmallow sticks with caked on mallow. Algae in the immediate swimming water, the dullest knives I’ve ever cooked with, WiFi that could barely bring up a webpage. Late check-in and early check-out.
The Ugly- After leaving I received a text that we would lose our deposit because we left dirty dishes in the sink and didn’t bag all the garabage. We cleaned all dishes and left some out of the dishwasher to dry because the dishwasher was so small. The trash bins outside were overflowing yet we still bagged and placed our trash in the bins and around it. We may have not gotten a bathroom or something. We also did all the linens according to the directions. I was shocked to get the message and asked them to take pictures as evidence and received no reply. Don’t be surprised if you lose your deposit even if you leave the house in good shape. I think we took careful care of the house, moved all patio furniture back to original locations and did a good job cleaning. I think someone on there side is a little overzealous on getting a little extra money.
As I promised Brenda, though I am upset about them keeping the deposit, I still want to be fair and truthful in my review. If you rent here, you will enjoy it and likely have a good time. You’re just as likely not to receive your deposit.
