About this house rental
Mellow Yellow is great for 2 families or a large group that needs some extra space! This property offers two houses that are connected by a covered walkway, each completely private and self contained. Both houses have 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, living room w/TV, laundry area and open floor plans with high ceilings.
The lakefront home is the older of the 2 homes. It's separated between three levels; the upper level offers the master bedroom with king bed, window unit A/C and stand-up shower; the main level has two comfortable leather sofas in the great room, and seating for 8-10 in the adjacent dining area. The main level also offers a laundry room with 1/2 bath located just off the kitchen. The main level opens onto a large sun room with wicker furnishings. Beyond the sun room is the large deck complete with plenty of deck furniture. The lower level offers a family room with TV/VCR/DVD, two additional bedrooms (1 with queen bed and the other with twin & bunk bed) , a full bath (tub/shower combo), and a covered deck.
Access the 2nd home by the covered walkway that is only a few steps from the lakefront home.
The 2nd home sets just a little farther from the water and is furnished as a contemporary cabin. The main level offers an open great room with 1/2 bath, kitchen with granite countertops, large dining area and living room w/TV & many windows to allow for natural light. Its a great open space for entertaining! A gated spiral staircase is in the middle of the main level and leads to the lower level where you'll find the master suite (king bed) with stand-up shower, guest bathroom with tub/shower combo, 2 additional bedrooms (1 with queen and the other with 2 sets of bunk beds) and laundry room.

All Excellent
It needs a convenient child-proof latch at the top of the stairs.
It would be helpful to have an infant highchair.

My husband and I rented this house for our wedding party as it is 2 mins away from the venue we had our wedding at (Parkway Marina). It was perfect! The 2 different houses helped when were all getting ready, girls in one house and guys in the other house. Perfect for our wedding weekend! :)

My family and I had so much fun! Loved the location. We spent a lot of time on our boat and a lot of time on the dock. We loved all the lake toys. Especially loved spending time with our doggies.

Mellow Yellow was the perfect location for us to gather our family and friends to celebrate getting my doctorate! The view was absolutely spectacular. There were plenty of watercrafts so everyone could enjoy time on the lake. The dock was large so that many of us could hang out together. We rented a pontoon from Parkway Marina close by and had no trouble tying up to the dock. We would highly recommend Mellow Yellow!

This was a great place to spend a few winter days with our medium sized group. Houses were clean, plenty of space for everyone to spread out, exactly what we were looking for.

We had a family/friend get together for a birthday and the two separate houses were perfect for the boys to do their thing and the girls could do theirs and still also hangout all together! The only things that I would have added are: there isn't a remote for the TV to switch HDMI settings to watch a DVD in the roadside house and couldn't find the lights for the balcony to grill at night in the lakehouse but overall LOVED it!
8.0 / 10.0
Houses were great! We had 9 adults and everyone had ample room to move around! The place was clean and comfortable You have to take your own trash and recycling before leaving which we didn't know so give yourself an extra 30 minutes in the morning to load it up and drive it over to the facility about 10 miles away. The house next door is under construction and they start at 8am so it wasn't exactly the quiet get away we had planned, but still a lovely setting! The dock is great and there's a nice sized fire pit to gather around at night. All and all we would book again!! A slightly later checkout would be great considering all that needs to be done per check out instructions

The only regret..the TV services was not available first 24 hours..we called and able to reset the Dish network..i would suggest a information sheet to help how to navigate the DishTvs.

Our group of 12 adults had a great time relaxing by the lake at Mellow Yellow! The separate houses really make you it feel like everyone has enough space! The dock is a great place to hang out and drink some cocktails.
There are lots of stairs to climb though! The firepit is in a little bit of an odd area near the back of the property, which doesn't really face the lake.

We had a great stay. Just one ay when the shared well went dry and we had no water for 1 day. However, the management company was very responsive and supplied us with drinking water. Other than that, we had a great stay. You will find everything you need between the two houses. I believe that various kitchen supplies travel between the two. So, if you can't find something you are looking for in one kitchen just look in the other. This is great for 2 families!
4.0 / 10.0
The location is convenient and is in a nice cove. The homes are nice, but need some updating. For the home closer to the water 1 AC sensor means the first floor is super cold, middle floor is set, and 3rd floor is hot. AC struggled to stay below 77 when over 90 outside. This home also has a non-upgraded kitchen and is fairly dark feeling inside. The upper home had the same AC issues with the AC sensor being on the top floor and air on that floor struggling to get below 78 when over 90 outside. The front door needs to have a walkway or path put in and very old or very young people would have struggled with the circular stairway in this house. My mother was afraid to use it and my brother wouldn't allow his younger children to use it.
