This house is as amazing as it sounds. We utilized the house for a work offsite and it was perfect. The ample bedrooms and bathrooms made it easy to have 10 co-workers housed in the same location while providing everyone their own personal space. The amenities are great, being right on the lake with your own boat house, made it easy to rent a pontoon and jet skies. The private pool and outdoor decks are great for hanging out in the cooler temperatures. The 2 kitchens are fully stocked and made meal prep a breeze. The best part was the service. The host is very responsive and attentive. We noticed that one section of the house wasn't cooling when we arrived and notified them. They were out immediately and resolved the issue. I highly recommend this house for larger family gatherings or work retreats, as there is plenty to do for entertainment, plenty of space for connecting and relaxing. I can't wait to get back there again in the future.

Great spot for our family reunion for 32 people. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked well for our numbers. The layout of rooms is strange, and some rooms are disconnected from the main area. The pool was a wonderful addition added after our booking. However, the pump was broken and we had family members working on it to help clear up the pool throughout our stay. Beach box did send people to shock and clean the pool, but the pump being broken meant the shock didn't last long. The house itself was not clean. There were spider webs and dust everywhere. The bathroom in the bunk room was not clean and smelled horrible. The dock had fish pieces on the counter and the dock refrigerator couldn't be used as it was filthy. Poles and other equipment pictured were missing. The entire outdoor area had not been swept or cleaned, including the grill. The outdoor garbage had trash in it without a bag. Bedding was missing on several beds, they only had a mattress cover and a comforter. Towels were limited and we only had a handful of facecloths. The kitchens were oddly stocked and not organized or cleaned. The communication prior to our trip was limited. Several questions were unanswered. The response once we arrived was quick but not extremely helpful. We were told someone would come clean, then it was pushed to the next day, so we cleaned it ourselves. We left the place cleaner than it was. Towels were brought to us and apologies made. A new cleaning company will help with most issues.

A week prior to our reservation, I sent two questions through VBRO and never received responses. The house is beautiful, and the space and pool are fantastic. Unfortunately, so many things (ice makers, light bulbs, dryer, disposal, sink drain, TV remotes) were non-functional, and the game room that looked so great had broken or missing parts to almost all games: No air hockey puck, broken ping pong table, etc. Rooms with no working lights (probably bulbs), a shower with no handle, and other problems were everywhere. Yard service came during our reservation. Finally, the A/C in part of the house quit working the day before our check-out. I called the assistance number and was assured help was on the way. Six hours and a lot of sweat later, I told them not to send help. We were checking out in the morning, and I was not waiting up for maintenance. House locks are so worn they hardly work, so not only did we have trouble getting in, we couldn't lock up when we left.

The pictures on the website are fantastic and this place looks like someone spent a lot of money to make it nice but it has not been kept up well. We sent a long list to the owner and they did send a maintenance guy out to fix what he could but it was disappointing to pay so much money for a nice place and have to find problems in almost every room in the house. It was also not very clean when we arrived. We rent a big house like this regularly for our large family vacations and this one was not worth the money in my opinion.

Needing a quick last minute get away, this house delivered. Lots of room but still has that cozy feel. Will definitely return!

We stayed for a women's retreat. I am going to start this review with the positives. Home was in a great location, it was spacious and a/c unit worked well. Lots of dishes for cooking which is a huge plus for rentals. Now here is where we have to highlight some issues. Rental was not cleaned properly, there were bugs in beds(not bedbugs) maybe beetles, bugs all over stairs in master room, carpets, furniture and rugs were filthy. Even bedspreads had stains. Property shows signs of neglect especially with furniture new cleaners that take pride in their work is needed, needs major furniture upgrades. A house of this magnitude should have more pride taken in it. Also pool cleaners didn't come until the end of our last day. Overall nice location, plenty of space but definitely needs work.
