Great place. Small lake shared with 2 other cabins, we were fortunate enough to be there without other tenants, which made it perfect and private. Double check directions, and bring some cookware and xtra fishing gear. All in all a lovely place.

Very disapointing

We were very disapointed in our stay. This is our 3rd summer at Innsbrook, the last 2 spent at Firefly Lane.We decided to try Sycamore retreat because it has full sized showers and a bigger kitchen, and with 5 aduts and 3 kids, that really helps. However, when we walked in the whole place smelled musty and moldy, and we noticed stains all over the carpets.The whole place was very dusty also, for as much as they charge in a cleaning cost, I would have expected it to be clean. In the pictures it looks like there is a sandy beach for the kids to play on, but when we arrived it was a small rock covered area, and was so gross that no one got in. It is on a very tiny lake, more like a pond, so we went to the main beach both days. There was no propane for the gas fire pit on the deck, and the upstairs shower head actually broke off the first night we were there. I called the host about it and was told as long as we had one working shower (for 8 people!!), that was all we really needed. Also, make sure you bring your own toilet paper, because they only provide a "starter kit" which includes 1 extra roll of toilet paper and paper towels. The previous house we stayed at provided enough to get 8 people through 4 days. Same with towels, we were given 5 bath towels for everyone to use, luckily I found 2 more in a bedroom closet....I don't know if our previous 2 stays at a different house were just exceptional, and this house is more the way it normally is, but we wont be back to this one

Perfect getaway

We had a wonderful getaway at this beautiful house, on a serene, scenic property! Loved gliding on the peaceful water in the kayaks and taking in all of the surrounding nature. We beat the heat and had tons of fun at the Charrette Creek Commons pool and enjoyed the many amenities that Innsbrook offers. Lynn was so kind, responsive and accommodating. You must experience this place for yourself!

Great Cabin on a Small Private Lake!

Our family had a great weekend at the Sycamore Retreat. My kids (8, 12, 13) loved playing on the Lily Pad on the little lake and my son fished for hours. There are two beaches nearby, which we also enjoyed. The house is clean with plenty of space to spread out. Overall, it was the perfect weekend getaway.

A relaxing getaway

This is a lovely spot in the woods. Beautiful views from the house and deck. It has a nice little lake for the kids to kayak on, kayaks provided. It also has a place for a small bonfire to enjoy and make s'mores. Our family had a wonderful weekend here.

Beautiful chalet on a private lake

What a beautiful little home on a private lake! House was clean and well-stocked. The primary bedroom’s mattress was very comfortable (something most rentals lack). The fire pit on the deck was perfect, and the s’mores station was a great touch! We loved having direct access to the lake so we didn’t have to drive anywhere. We had a great time. We would love to come back!

Relax and Unwind

Sycamore is a lovely property on a small pond/lake. It has a beautiful deck with outdoor fire table as well as an indoor fireplace. There's also a fire pit by the water to make smores. Plenty of chairs. Everything needed for a comfortable get away. Toys to help entertain the kids as well as 2 kayaks. Enjoyable.

Everything You Need...Perfection!!!

The house was perfectly appointed. The home owners clearly take pride in the home and value their renters. Everything we could have possibly needed was at our fingertips. A smores recipe list and all the fixings were in a cute little tote to take down to the darling firepit area. They even provided a lantern, lighter and marshmallow roasting sticks. It was very cute. We've stayed at Insbook before. In our past stays, we've been a little disappointed in the property when we see it and try to stay there. When things are dirty, broken, leaky, not functioning properly and uncomfortable, you know that the owner doesn't stay there and doesn't care about the renters. THIS HOME IS WELL LOVED AND IT SHOWS! From the darling lake, well maintained deck and dock to the kayaks, life jackets and Lillypad...what a blast. We left only to get coffee from the new cafe' and take out one night at the restaurant. We could have stayed a week! The last thing I'll mention is that there instructions for everything. That was very refreshing. The welcome book had most everything you needed, but there were also laminated sheets here and there for with instructions. No guessing means no frustration! Communication with the host was also prompt and courteous. Once again, so much better than dealing with a management company! We would stay again and again! Thanks for attention to detail! Jill

Great Family Weekend

We had such a nice weekend. The private lake and activities were so much fun. Our children loved the kayaks, fishing poles & the lily pad. We all loved the fire pit and s’mores- even our dog enjoyed relaxing by the fire. In the future, you may want to add a few things to the kitchen, foil, plastic wrap, other pans and baking dishes. Also, since the rental is fairly new, you may want to stick up on refrigerator essentials like mayo, mustard, dressings etc. a few hooks in the bathroom will help with drying towels. Thank you so much!!

Great week away!!

Enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We rented a golf cart from a local which was the best decision we could have made to get around the resort. The house and semi private lake was fantastic for swimming and fishing. The pool is a great place for a lake break…be wary that the restaurant attached to the pool is frequently closed. The regular restaurant was available regularly. We did go to the brunch, it was OK… not great. I’d opt for a home meal. The house was perfect for us. We hardly spent time inside but when we did we enjoyed the board games and hanging out on the deck. The s’mores set up was perfect for our boys. We also found a local person (Lynn helped) to rent a pontoon for a Lake Aspen day. Lynn was super responsive and a great host. All in all, amazing. Highly recommend.
