Very clean and spacious, excellent view and excellent communication with property host!

First came to Northern Bay about 20 years ago when it opened, amazed at how well the resort has been maintained. Very spacious condo, perfect for our family with numerous activities and a spectacular lake.

Everything went well.

Great rental for our family, since we have adult kids who like to keep their own hours and spread out. My husband could get up early without disturbing anyone and our sons could stay up late without disturbing us! Everything was clean and well-stocked. Two (minor) suggestions: some kind of mosquito control on the deck (they were so think it was unusable) and better bedding/mattress covers. They were not very soft. Also, even though you can't grill at the unit, there are grills on the property. Might want to mention that in description. Otherwise, we had a great time and were very comfortable. Great condo!

Nice place, very large. FYI, tub drain in common bath slow. Light in same bath fan didnt come on. Chair next to door opening by the entrance to the common bath legs loose. I put back together, but may want to glue. No big deal, but wanted you to know.

Love Northern Bay. Ben coming here for years. First time in this condo and it was great!

Very clean and welcoming. Sufficient sleeping arrangements for our group. Owner very responsive to questions.

This is a condo complex that has many things to due right on the premise. The main one is a golf course that we didn't utilize. There is a pool & hot tub, a playground with a sand base, tennis courts, basketball courts, a sand volleyball court by the tiki bar, and a small beach with a marked-off swimming area and a diving dock. Outside of the condo grounds, you had to drive a little bit to go and get to something, about 20-30 min not a big deal though. Close enough to the dells to head down there for a day and have some fun. We did some hiking and biking while we were in the area. Omaha bike trail, Buckhorn state park and Roche-A-Cri state park. The tiki bar has live music/entertainment Fri & Sat nights which is cool, we went to the tiki on a Fri and they had a DJ paying some 90's-early 00's which was great, but just FYI you can hear the music in the condo and they go untill 11pm so if you want to get to bed or your kids, bring a sound machine or something to drown out the noise. A couple of small things with the condo. The beds are very firm and had plastic protectors on them that crinkle with every movement I get why they have them just not the typical luxurious feel you get from a hotel. I HATE firm beds and felt these were probably a cheap BOGO holiday weekend mattress sale type mattress so I did not sleep great. This is just my preference. Secondly, in the master bedroom, they have a lot of windows that look great but they don't have curtains over the upper windows so when the sun comes up early it is very bright in the rooms so not much ability to sleep in. Also, it happened to be a full moon when we were there and the moon shown directly into the bedroom and on the bed where my head was laying so it was once again very bright and hard to sleep ( only had an issue 3 of the 7 nights). Not sure how often this would actually happen or if it was just perfect timing for me that weekend. Lastly the owner. It is pretty clear this is run as a business and not just a property he has that he rents out here and there when he is not using it. His main concern is making sure you follow any and all association rules and you fill out all the paperwork as to not upset the HOA. I expressed concern about the condo door not closing and latching, he brushed it off. I wanted to make sure my family and belongings were safe and he once again seemed to care more about his VRBO business than customer experience. I did get fixed after a text exchange

Very clean, great amenities for families with small kids. We loved the playground, pool, tiki bar with live music, and beach. Rex’s apartment is a bit of a stroll from the pool area, so we ended up driving over there usually as the walk with toddlers wasn’t super easy/safe. Kids over 5 would probably do great. The only downside was lack of cookware (basically 1 pot, 2 pans…we made it work, but a few more essentials would be nice), a broken wine opener (we left the one we had to buy, so that problem should be solved), and while Rex was very nice and helpful, he may have been TOO communicative, checking in frequently while we were busy just trying to enjoy our trip. Overall, we’d definitely stay again for the great amenities and spacious condo. It really was a very family friendly resort and all the people who travel/live there were super friendly.

We spent a wonderful week at Castle Rock Lake in the north Bay resort. The location was fantastic with lots to do. (Pool, Beach, Basketball, Kayak, Bike, and Golf). Magnolia loft was a perfect setting with a view of hole 3 and a view of the bay. The condo had everything our family needed with well stocked kitchen and comfortable sleeping. The grounds are well maintained. Would recommend if you are looking for peaceful area, yet has numerous activities.

Very clean and spacious. Rex was very easy to communicate with and even had lawn chairs and a cooler that we could use. We loved our stay!

Rex was easy to work with. The condo was very clean and beautifully decorated. We had lots of room for our group of eight people. Great location to the resort amenities. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the golfers.

Unit was incredibly clean and Rex was great. Good communication and very helpful. Would highly recommend.
