Nice weekend retreat

Our vacation stay was good. The house was generally as advertised. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware and all cooking utensils, as were the laundry facilities. We appreciated the small touches such as treats for our dog. The house, linens and towels were clean. Location was good as well. There were a few items that could have been better, however. The backyard connects via a chain link fence to the next-door neighbors, so there is minimal privacy outback. On our second morning, we were awakened from a sound sleep at 7:30 am (Saturday) by a knocking at the front door. A maintenance man was scheduled to winterize the irrigation system and had to access the crawl space. The noise this generated for the next 30-45 min caused our dog to bark the entire time. There was no chance of any of us returning to sleep afterwards. When reporting this interruption to the host and relaying our dismay, the response was "I'm not sure we knew that was going to happen either...I will speak to them to make sure we know ahead of time." Just a disappointing way to start one of our only two days of rest. Lastly, although the house was clean, there were quite a few spiders, ants and stray bugs throughout.

Perfect Alternative to a hotel stay

We were only in town for one night for a concert at the nearby casino. We were 3 adults, one couple and one single. It gave us each our own space with baths and a common area to hang out together. It was perfect and we would definitely stay here again.

Really nice week that we stayed and the host’s recommendations for activities, dinners, etc were spot on. The house is superb and super clean even though they host pets which is a positive rating as well. Kitchen is very well stocked and beds are super comfortable and backyard is nice with a built in fire pit and chairs which we didn’t use but would have next time which there will be. Thanks!! Don

Beautiful and Clean Home!

We stay in VRBO's a lot; this was one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Brand new everything, newly remodeled, extremely clean, very comfortable beds/bedding, great to bring dogs as it is fenced in. We rated this 5 stars across the board and tend to be a bit on the picky side so this says a lot! Fantastic rental - we hope to be back soon!

Wonderful place for pet owners

A Colleague and I stayed at this quaint property while attending a conference at the Mountain Lodge. It's in a peaceful neighborhood, the house is quiet, super cozy, and pet friendly. The owner of the home clearly loves dogs, the fenced yard is perfect, as is the flooring. It's close to downtown and the lake, definitely within walking distance weather permitting. Lindsay, the owner was super responsive to messages and quite willing to work with us. We had a lovely stay and would be thrilled to return.
