Great cabin, great location. Fun family weekend

The cabin is beautiful. The location is amazing. Could use a few things. 1- the Murphy bed needs a real bed. 2- some of the windows need curtains, the Murphy bedroom needs curtains. 3- needs a BBQ. But…. Great family weekend cabin, love the location, love looking out at the lake!!!!

great location

Great location and nice view at a good price! Not really a 2 bedroom in the traditional sense, has an upstairs loft and a spa by the kitchen with a murphy bed. Spa has a see through glass door so if your naked in the tub the people in the house see you (we had guys working on the security system so my wife couldn't soak til they left).

Amazing views

This is a two level house with amazing views and open floor plan. The problem that I have that all other previous tenants have had is that there is no curtain, even in the shower. And every person on the street might see what you are doing.

Cute Place

This place seemed more like a loft. It was cute and spacious. I just didn't like that there were no curtains/blinds whatsoever on the doors/windows so in the morning, the sunlight would shine right through and it was hard for me to go back to sleep. It was also a bit scary at night because it was hard to see outside but if you're outside staring in, you could definitely see everything clearly.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
House was in a nice location. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch out over the lake. The sunlight coming during the day made the house a wonderful temperature. The problem with the place was not enough beds were made up even though the booking was for 5 people. There was no curtains on the upstairs windows which meant you had no privacy when using the bathroom upstairs. We ended up finding stuff around the house to put in the windows so no one could see in. Near the kitchen on the floor there has obviously a quick repair done and the nails kept poking out making it a hazard walking in that area. We also could not locate the fire pit.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
The open view from the cabin was beautiful, but that was about the only positive part of our stay. I really wish there were privacy curtains or blinds on the second-floor back windows and in the bathrooms — neighbors can clearly see inside, even while you’re using the restroom. It felt extremely uncomfortable.The worst part was the mouse infestation. We found multiple areas with mice droppings throughout the cabin. I immediately contacted the management company, and their only solution was to drop off a few traps, which did nothing to resolve the problem. For the price we paid, this is unacceptable.Trying to get help or even discuss compensation has been incredibly frustrating. I’ve never been able to speak with a manager directly, and communication has been slow and unhelpful.Overall, this stay was far from what we expected. I would not recommend this cabin until these issues are properly addressed.
