Perfect getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is beautiful, large, and well appointed. It was very clean, cozy (but not small), and there was so much to do. Lots of games and books and cooking space/good kitchen. Two large outdoor decks. Just lovely. It is pretty far from a grocery store, so budget time for a grocery shopping trip.

Great Location, Good Choice for Large Families or Multi- Couples

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A roomy house very close to Country Club & Marina. Large decks on 2 levels giving the feeling of being in a high tree house. It does not have mountain or lake views. The house could use a little TLC. The sliding glass doors leading to the main deck need to be replaced or repaired, the wifi needs to be upgraded (it does not work for > than 2 devices),the hornet nest in the eaves near the front porch needs to be eradicated.

Thunder Bear Ranch Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great house for several couples or a large family. A large lower area with a large tv, many dvds & a game center. The upper deck is located in the tree tops like being in a tree house, though, no real views of the mountains or the lake.The wifi was nonfunctional most of the time but management was aware of this problem. A very desirable location & we would definitely stay there again.
