Plenty of room and Great Lake access

18 adults and 1 baby stayed for 4 nights in this very roomy house with perfect access to the lake. Except for the carpeting on the stairs (which needs replaced) the place was very clean. More bath towels during the humid months would be beneficial, but overall we had a great family Christmas in July and would absolutely rent this property again

Although we were a little disappointed with the upkeep of the yard/ landscaping and the cleanliness of certain areas in the house , we all had an amazing time . It was the perfect set up having both the upper & lower units for a large family / friends with both an older and younger age group .

The view was beautiful. The amount of room was perfect for my family group. A couple safety issues. The stairwell going to the basement did not have a handrail. A few of the kitchen chairs had loose legs. We bought a screwdriver and fixed it. The dishwasher upstairs the seal was not in place so it leaked, but my brother fixed it.

Spacious property. It was great for our family gathering. We all had a good time. The home does need some maintenance. Screen door on one slider was disconnected and was propped up on one side. The stairwell between the upper and lower units should have a handrail. Landscaping needs an update. Overall it was a good experience and would rent again.

Room to Breathe

Group of us got together for the weekend to just hang out and recharge. Plenty of space for kids, dogs and teens to play and for the adults to have their own space as well. Great yard with grill, firepit and dock. Close to state park and 2 waterfall trails which were family friendly and a great mid-day activity. The management was friendly, easy to reach and quick to respond. Our group will definitely rent there again.

Good location. The property has not been kept cleaned. We couldnt use one of the bedrooms since there was a water leak and the owner didnt fix it (juat gave us a bucket). One of the washrooms had mini frogs and other insects. Tried to contact the property manager (Dominic) and he was going to have the owner (Roman) reach out to us. Neither of them contacted back. Not happy with their maintenance and customer service. Stay away!!!

We really enjoyed the location of this house. It is right on the lake, easy to get to. Dock is shared. Only downfall is kitchen is not well equipped. We rented the whole house, ground level and upper level, plenty of room then for all 16 of us. Don't know if I would like having some else staying above though, even though you can lock stairway on both sides. Could be noise factor then of hearing footsteps above you. (As someone else said in review). House is as pictured exactly. Other houses are close by, but lake & dock is great. Went to KOA water park - kids loved it! We rented jet skis the other day. Went to a winery late one afternoon. Adult time away, with older teens babysitting. There is plenty to do in the area. We will be back in the area again, maybe at same house!

Communication with the host was quick, easy, and they are super friendly. We used both the upstairs and the downstairs unit, and there was plenty of space for our big group of 17—less than 30 minutes from stores and restaurants, and 5 minutes from ice, fishing worms, etc. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of utensils, dishes, and pots/pans, but if you plan on cooking large meals (like for our big group), you'll need to bring your own big pots (or get them from Walmart like we did). We recommend the Lake of Egypt Pontoon Rentals, aka "Weiner Rides," if you want to rent a boat. They were beyond friendly and will deliver and pick up the boat at this location. Last thing we'll say, there is PLENTY of parking. Our group was from 7 different households, and there was enough parking for all seven vehicles, which can be hard to find sometimes. We loved our stay here and will try to get back into this property when we return in a couple of years.
