Lovely lakefront home!
We were a family of 5 and had a wonderful stay! The layout was perfect. We enjoyed the spacious deck and big grill. Make a note 2 kayaks (1 adult/1 kid) and the site says there’s a pool table but there isn’t, maybe outdated info? But overall terrific! Owner very responsive and kind. Totally recommend!

Amazing lake home!
Beautiful home! Plenty of kitchen items (plates, bowls, glasses, silverware, pots & pans, casserole dishes etc…) Comfortable beds, washer & dryer and very clean! The loft is amazing! We spent a lot of time on the wrap around deck.- we even used the gas grill. The views are gorgeous. Plenty of towels & washcloths. We will definitely stay here again. If we could give ten stars, we would.

I would not repeat this experience
If you want no working television, construction going on next door, living with the sound of trucks going by on the highway three houses away, one kayak, no two, half submerged in a decrepit, marshy and grungy waterfront and steep flights of stairs to reach it, this place is for you. No attempt at contacting the point person was returned. Still trying to get my money back. Not fun in any way. I wouldn’t let my dog drink the yellow lake water.

Nice place for a vacation
We recently stayed at the house at the end of July. The inside of the house is wonderful. It's clean, comfortable and has plenty of room for our 7 travelers. Having rented numerous houses in the past I will say that the beds are extremely comfortable. Usually, we are very weary about the beds in a rental. The two things I really disliked: just how far down the lake/dock are from the house. If you aren't comfortable climbing down 6 stories, this isn't the house for you. Also, the railings on all the outside decks are not secure. We just didn't lean up against any and we were ok, but I would be cautious with kids.

Excellent location and great house for our family
We really loved the house and location. The place is perfect for relaxing and keeping away from the hustle and bustle. However, the house has the amenities to stay connected if you so choose to. The owner has a great setup. My wife is already thinking of going back. Only note to add is that if your family includes elderly or very young children, know that there are several stairs to get from the house to the lake side. Good exercise for some but can be tough for others.

Perfect Family Vacation
The location, cleanliness and amenities of this property exceeded expectations. The house is lovely and was very comfortable for four adults and three children. We enjoyed the boats provided and the nearby beaches. A new grill was delivered during our stay as the owner quickly responded to a complaint from a previous renter. It was a delightful experience!

Would rent again and Remember to bring creamer and sugar for my morning coffee. The scenery is the best although you have to be in some what shape for the stairs to the lake.

Very nice stay. Comfy and cozy.
The house was very charming and great mountain and lake location. We had a great family weekend. This was our first trip to Vernon and we will return this winter for more snow sports. May I make a few suggestions to improve the experience of your home. Dining table needs repair. Broken gate leg. One downlite and kitchen undercounter lights need to be replaced. Repair broken towel bar in downstairs bathroom. Dusty window blinds need to be cleaned. Fry pans need replacing. Provide additional wine glasses. Two are not enough. Utility basket in dishwasher broken.needs to be replaced. Dishwasher is unstable and unsafe when pulled out and needs to be bolted to counter. Provide food storage wrap like Saranor foil. Provide a few additional blankets.

Very nice place to stay and would especially be nice in the summer when you an enjoy the lake
Overall this is a nice house, a beautiful spot on the lake with a great view, and a good place to stay with family. There are a few issues that caused me to give it a 4 star review instead of a 5 stars. The carpet was dirty, the downstairs bathroom sink was clogged, and the towel bar was loose and wouldn't stay on the wall. I could easily have fixed those things if I carried tools with me while on vacation but I don't and I suspect most other travelers don't either. Anyway, those small things should be taken care of before the house guest arrive. There were some other small details that i noticed in others reviews that I had hoped would have been addressed before we came and were not.- such as insufficient amounts of toilet paper. Also there was no Kleenex tissues and not enough towels for the amount of guest that it sleeps. The house is also far from everything and would be ok if you are planning to stay at the house and not go out to eat or shopping very often. Overall it is a very nice house and the view is beautiful. I think we would have enjoyed it more in the warmer months when you could enjoy the lake more but we did enjoy the house and would probably stay there again.

The property was very lovely.
The main problem we had was getting there. It was very hard to find and we had to ask Troy at the lake club house who was nice enough to lead us there. Directions would be very helpful. There are many roads sounding similar.

Beautiful Home
My girlfriend and I rented this for a NYE getaway. With my luck, an arctic blast made its way through and everything was frozen and not much to do, but I was fine with staying indoors and relaxing for a little break. The beds were cozy as was the rest of the house. They had a stove for a wood fire, but there was only a single log there so I never got a fire going. The Dish Network television worked for Netflix but I couldn’t watch anything live; luckily I had my iPad. The one thing I really wasn’t a fan of was that this propert is listed through a vacation rental agency and I had never dealt with one of those before on VRBO. I didn’t like that they wouldn’t let me pay off the balance sooner as they wanted to automatically charge my card one month prior to my arrival. I called a second time and begged to pay earlier as I had expenses of Christmas gifts etc. and I just wanted to pay it off. I’m used to dealing with the honeowner in case I have a question or something wasn’t working; when working with a rental agency, you don’t have that same comfort or assurance. The house itself was nice but I picked a poor time of year to rent it and I wouldn’t recommend it for a winter getaway, but I’d bet it would be nice in spring or summer when things aren’t frozen.

A Great Stay!
Rented this property a while back for a March stay to celebrate our son's birthday who just wanted to get away. Wasn't sure what the weather would have in store for us. We arrived to about 2+ feet of snow. The property was beautifully plowed and it looked like a winter wonderland. My kids had a great time playing in the snow and watching movies on the big screen TV. The house is roomy, wide open, and cozy. We made goodies in the kitchen and we were still in the same space as the kids in the living room. Although we were not able to take advantage of the lake experience, we still had a great stay.

Fabulous Family Adventure
We loved this "cabin. " The setting is amazing and the house was larger than we expected. You can see pride of ownership~ great amenities and charming touches. We loved walking in to a beautiful house and a nice bottle of wine! Clean and warm~very inviting.~great fireplace to toast the house. Close to Mountain Creek which has greatly improved it's lodge and staffing as well. We had a fabulous stay. Kids want to come back and stay in the summer~dying to use the deck. ( We didn't use more than one burner on the stove, but I think the stove top might need a look).

Great cottage on the lake!
We rented this cottage for Thanksgiving week. We felt for the price, it was a steal! Great beds, clean linens, all the kitchen items you need, plenty of boating things to do (kayaks, a row boat and plenty of life jackets). There were some issues with the appliances, but minor and the owner offered a credit for the hassle. We will definitely consider renting this place again in the future.
