Nice location, needs some TLC

Overall the property is conveniently located, pool is out back, amusement park and lake are within five minutes, grocery store within 10. I'd echo what other reviews have said. Upstairs bedrooms are hot, oven was so dirty on the bottom we couldn't use it, we tried and it started smoking and we had to turn it off. No wine glasses, no chef's knives for preparing food, and only six beach/pool towels. The waterpark is also close, but be aware that the water there is extremely cold. Not the homeowner's fault, obviously, but something to be aware of. We thought we'd use the daily passes more, but our kids got too cold too quickly. Place seemed clean.

Easy and enjoyable

The house was great. We had two dogs with us and it was very dog friendly. It was particularly warm and a ceiling fan in one of the upstairs bedrooms would have been helpful. It would be good to have a regular coffee pot onsight rather than just Keurig.

Nice location with backyard pool

For the most part, our stay was enjoyable however, there were some housekeeping items that could have been better. I reached out to the owner after our first night there to let her know of several items that we found in need of repair in case she wasn’t aware. I never got a response from her. For the cleaning fee that I was required to pay, I do not think the housekeeping job was very thorough. Our kids did enjoy the waterpark and the pool in the backyard. The foosball table was a nice touch, but it was also broken.

Lovely stay!

We had everything we needed for a perfect fall family getaway. The cabin is well stocked and so great to have our little shih tzu join us. It was very clean and the kids loved the foosball! The front door lock ran out of batteries and the owners were extremely quick to respond and very accommodating. Hope to be back next fall!

Arnolds Park Cabin #274

This was a perfect house and accommodations for the 6 of us adults. A few things to note: The upper stair railing is very loose and can be a bit dangerous. One of our friends had an injured foot from a previous injury and was wearing a boot. He felt unsafe holding onto the railing coming down and going up the stairs. The ceiling fan in the bedroom with the balcony was not working properly. It only had one speed, so it made for a bit of a hot room at night. The upstairs bathroom door squeaks really bad, so it was noisy during the night when someone would get up. The shower drain in the master bath must be clogged because it drained very slow. We noticed when the toilet is flushed in both bathrooms upstairs, then the water pressure in the shower or sink is very minimal. We could only get the living room TV to work. One of us wanted to use the back room to sleep and watch TV, but that one was not connected to anything to be able to watch it. Master bath fan is really dirty. We noticed that the irrigation head on the left side of the driveway was broken before we got there.

Good for family stay

Plenty of space for a big family (6 adults and 2 infants) but it could improve a bit on the cleanness. The shower in the master bedroom did not drain and the oven was dirty. A lot of dog hair on the couch. The included waterpark passes worked great for the kids.

Had a last minute emergency and found this place and the host was speedy with responding when I reached out. She was so sweet and the place had everything seen and so much more that’s unseen. The host really takes everything into consideration and it was such a nice and easy stay. Plenty of blankets, space, towels, etc. Def. Recommend this place to groups or even a couple people for a nice getaway in a good location!

Family Vacation

Our stay was great! We loved the access to the pool from the back yard, especially for our little ones. The water park passes were great everyday. We did struggle a bit cooking for the family of 7 adults due to the limited pots and pans—we only ate out once so cooked the majority of our meals. The washer and dryer were perfect and we were thankful for those. Overall, it was a great stay.
